In this compelling dialogue, two of the world’s most influential thinkers reflect on the value of equality and debate what citizens and governments should do to narrow the gaps that separate us.

At the same time, they confront head-on the extreme divides that remain in wealth, income, power, and status nationally and globally.

In der Lebensgeschichte Adrian Leverkühns – der fiktiven Romanbiographie eines Komponisten, der sich dem Teufel verschreibt – fasst Thomas Mann alle Entwicklungsstufen der alten Faust-Sage zusammen und verknüpft sie mit den politischen Ereignissen seiner Zeit. Der zeitliche Rahmen umgrenzt die Jahre von 1884 bis 1945, seine eigene Epoche. Er selbst nannte den "Doktor Faustus" "ein Lebensbuch von fast sträflicher Schonungslosigkeit, eine sonderbare Art von übertragener Autobiographie, ein Werk, das mich mehr gekostet und tiefer an mir gezehrt hat, als jedes frühere".

Thomas Mann bezeichnete "Tonio Kröger" als seinen "Werther" und sein "Lieblingskind": Tonio Kröger, Schriftsteller, bleibt vom Leben ausgeschlossen, so sehr er sich auch danach sehnt.

A series of closely interrelated essays on game theory, this book deals with an area in which progress has been least satisfactory - the situations where there is a common interest as well as conflict between adversaries: negotiations, war and threats of war, criminal deterrence, extortion, tacit bargaining. It proposes enlightening similarities between, for instance, maneuvering in limited war and in a traffic jam; deterring the Russians and one's own children; the modern strategy of terror and the ancient institution of hostages.

Die Freien breiten sich in Jerusalem weiter und weiter aus. Vor ihnen ist nichts sicher. Kein Kaufmann, kein Gottesmann, kein Tempelritter. Sie stehlen und klauen was nicht niet- und nagelfest ist. Gerard Gampanie und Fabian von Hohenzollern wollen den Freien das Handwerk legen, ohne zu wissen, dass sie sich mit einer Hexe verbündet haben. Eine Hexe, die ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken über Leichen geht.

Gerard Gampanie und Fabian von Hohenzollern müssen sich um merkwürdige Geschehnisse in einem Kloster kümmern. Erst meinen sie, es nur mit verschlossenen Mönchen zu tun zu haben. Aber je länger sie im Kloster verweilen, umso sicherer sind sie sich, dass mehr hinter dem seltsamen Verhalten der Gottesmänner steckt, als sie annahmen. Denn plötzlich schweben sie in tödlicher Gefahr.
