When Konrad von Marburg, a Church inquisitor, arrives on the scene, innocent and guilty alike find themselves subject to the inquisitor’s violent form of purification. Two knights of the Ordo Militum Vindicis Intactae, Andreas and Raphael, soon arrive in the village. Though each journeys on a separate path, they quickly band together to confront the inquisitor as he whips the townspeople into a righteous bloodlust. When her dead husband’s severed head appears on her doorstep, a local woman is charged with practicing heretical rituals. It is up to the knights to discover the truth behind the brutal murder before the torches are lit and the woman is burned at the stake. Their task proves daunting, though, as the townspeople have their own long-buried secrets and sins that they want to keep hidden - even if it means allowing the sacrifice of an innocent woman. With Sinner: A Prequel to the Mongoliad, Mark Teppo forges the first link in a chain that leads to the world-shattering events of the Mongoliad series. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Christianity, Community and Crisis. A study of Stewart O'Nan's novel "A Prayer for theDying" and the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic (eBook, PDF)
    Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,7, University of Dusseldorf "Heinrich Heine" (Anglistik II), course: Virus as Political Metaphor, language: English, abstract: How challenging the fulfillment of one's own role in society and the co-occurring responsibilities, as well as weighting up mental well-being against physical health, during an imminent crisis can become, is something the protagonist of Stewart O'Nan's novel A Prayer for the Dying becomes painfully aware of. Set a few years after the Civil War, Jacob Hansen has just returned from the war and now holds the office of Sheriff, Pastor and Undertaker in the small Wisconsin town Friendship - he is a dutiful man who takes his roles very seriously. When a deadly epidemic, Diphtheria, starts to spread around the townspeople, Jacob struggles between keeping the town safe and maintaining his sanity, troubled by post-traumatic stress disorder. However, the townspeople are not very compliant and a threatening natural catastrophe further strains Jacob's moral disposition as he has to decide between leaving the sick to die and saving those not struck by disease. This paper aims to elaborate on how in general diseases may be instrumentalized to fit a certain persons or groups psychological needs, and how especially the question of responsibility, as well as the virological imperative, steers a community's behavior in the face of an epidemic/pandemic. Further, it will discuss the ethical and inner conflicts concerning the measures taken to overcome the threat of a deadly disease. In concern to this, the self as "evil object" will be explained and, inter alia, measures such as isolative quarantine will be discussed exemplarily. Stewart O'Nan's A Prayer for the Dying, as well as recent literature regarding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will function as analytical basis for this paper. Lastly, I will try to formulate an assessment of the situation's outcome in O'Nan's novel and will provide a short outlook on a possible positive impact the Coronavirus pandemic may have on our society.

    A Fairly Fairy Tale , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 176min
    Once upon a time, and with surprising frequency, dragons kidnapped helpless princesses. As the ultimate romantic gesture, heroic princes fought the dragons and saved the damsels in distress. At least, that's the story you've been led to believe. But here's a little secret: Sometimes the dragon saved the princess from the princes... In the kingdom of Marshwood, everybody lives happily ever after - orphans, stepmothers, everybody. King Wesick is wise and beloved. Queen Mattea is beautiful and kind. Prince Nolan is handsome and brave, and his sister Littagale is smart and talented. But when it comes time for Princess Littagale to marry, suddenly the dragon Tor flies down from Mount Shadow, kidnaps the princess, and flies her to his dark lair. "Oh, no! The horror! Who will save her?" cry the townspeople. With great fanfare and the cologne of testosterone, princes from near and far arrive in Marshwood and vow to rescue the princess - in exchange for the honor of becoming her husband and inheriting the kingdom. The townspeople rejoice, place bets, and everyone waits to see who will defeat Tor and save Princess Littagale. But what secret is Queen Mattea hiding? And why does Tor have a spa in his lair? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sunshine Somerville. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/087918/bk_acx0_087918_sample.mp3.
