Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisGerman description: In den Confessiones spiegelt sich die Umbruchphase der Spatantike wider, in der traditionelles Denken als nicht mehr hinreichend fur eine sinnstiftende Einordnung des Individuums in die Welt erkannt wird. Wahrend der Vater fur ein der paganen Tradition verpflichtetes Bildungs- und Familiendenken steht, wird die Mutter zum exemplum einer christlichen Ehefrau und Mutter. Romische Rollenideale werden aufgenommen, jedoch in einem christlichen Kontext verinnerlicht. Ferner rehabilitiert Augustinus die christliche Familie gegenuber einem radikalen Askeseideal. In Generationenbeziehungen ist der Mensch innerhalb der empirischen Welt eingebunden, jedoch benutzen auch Bibel und christliche Tradition Metaphern aus diesem Bildfeld, um das Verhaltnis des Menschen zu Mitmenschen, Gott oder Kirche auszudrucken. Hieran anknupfend vollzieht Augustinus eine Neubestimmung zwischenmenschlicher Beziehungen auf einer spirituellen Ebene.Wahrend die Forschung bisher den Blick meist auf die Figur der Monnica beschrankt hat, erweitert Jochen Schultheiss den Untersuchungsgegenstand und erschliesst in eingehender Textanalyse die Confessiones aus philosophisch-theologischer sowie literatur- und geschichtswissenschaftlicher Perspektive., At its pinnacle in A.D. 1150 the Anasazi empire of the Southwest would see no equal in North America for almost eight hundred years. Yet even at this cultural zenith, the Anasazi held the seeds of their own destruction deep within themselves.... On his deathbed, the Great Sun Chief learns a secret, a shame so vile to him that even at the brink of eternity he cannot let it pass: In a village far to the north is a fifteen-summers-old girl who must be found. Though he knows neither her name nor her face, the Great Sun decrees that the girl must at all costs be killed. Fleeing for her life as her village lies in ruins, young Cornsilk is befriended by Poor Singer, a curious youth seeking to touch the soul of the Katchinas. Together, they undertake the perilous task of staying alive long enough to discover her true identity. But time is running out for them all--a desperate killer stalks them, one who is willing to destroy the entire Anasazi world to get to her. New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors and award-winning archaeologists W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear bring the stories of these first North Americans to life in People of the Silence and other volumes in the magnicent North America's Forgotten Past series.
