Die kleine Vorortsiedlung in den Midlands, von den Autoren »Winston Parva« genannt, ähnelt mit ihren rund 5000 Einwohnern unzähligen anderen Gemeinden in England. Es ist eine der typischen Arbeitersiedlungen der europäischen Industriereviere, in denen die traditionellen, die »dörflichen« Sozialstrukturen überlebten: enge Nachbarschaft, soziale Kontrolle und gegenseitige Solidarität. Die scheinbare Harmonie wird erst Ende der dreißiger Jahre zerstört, als jenseits der Bahnlinie ein neuer Ortsteil aus dem Boden gestampft wird. Die neuen Häuser beziehen vor allem Arbeiter aus anderen Regionen Englands und später Evakuierte aus dem zerbombten London. Obwohl ihre Bewohner in den gleichen Betrieben arbeiten, wachsen die beiden Ortsteile nicht zusammen. Die Neusiedler bleiben stets die Außenseiter, stigmatisiert und fremd. Unter den alten Bewohnern gelten sie als unsozial, kriminell, triebhaft. Hier nun setzt die Untersuchung ein.

In den Begleitumständen, dem Bericht von seinen Erfahrungen als Schriftsteller in Ost wie West, schildert Uwe Johnson das Scheitern eines 1963 in Angriff genommenen Buches. In ihm wollte er die Arbeit von Fluchthelfern dokumentieren. Deshalb führte er mit den Mitgliedern der Gruppe Girrmann (sie half nach dem Mauerbau annähernd 5000 Menschen, die DDR zu verlassen) Gespräche über das Warum und Wie ihrer Arbeit. Diese Unterredungen wurden auf Tonband aufgezeichnet, das Projekt von Johnson jedoch abgebrochen. In den Begleitumständen erklärt er lapidar: »Ja – die Tonbänder sind gelöscht.« Hier irrte Uwe Johnson: Die insgesamt fünfstündigen Interviews mit Detlef Girrmann und Dieter Thieme haben sich erhalten, da Johnson sie ihnen zurückgab. Ihre Transkription wird hier zum ersten Mal veröffentlicht. Nun ist exemplarisch zu verfolgen, wie der Genauigkeitsfanatiker die Fakten erhebt, die er in sein Erzählen verwebt; es ist nachzulesen, was ihn am Tun der Fluchthelfer beschäftigt. Zugleich wird, ebenfalls zum ersten Mal, die Tätigkeit dieser Personen aus der Innenperspektive geschildert. Sie berichten, wie die Gruppe sich zusammenfand, erzählen von ihren Absichten, ihren Methoden, Menschen aus der DDR zu schleusen, ihrer Haltung zur DDR und zur BRD, von ihren Siegen und Niederlagen – geleitet von den Fragen des neugierigen Reporter-Schriftstellers.

The Sanxingdui Ruins are considered one of the most the greatest archaeological finds of China in the 20th century. Located in the southwest China's Sichuan Province, the ruins are believed to be the remnants of the ancient Shu Kingdom, predating the Xia Dynasty by 700 years or even thousands of years, dating back up to 3000 or 5000 years ago. What is the truth about this period of history and who built it? This is a mystery to the world. Liu Xingshi is a prehistoric archaeological researcher, contemporary geologist, science popularization writer, and expert in Sanxingdui mineral resources investigation. He wrote, at the age of 91, this set of humorous but professional books for children to guide them in uncovering the mysteries of the Sanxingdui Ruins from the perspectives of geography, archaeology, history, and human environmental science. Unlike the most books on the market focusing on the cultural relics unearthed at the Sanxingdui Ruins, including the surprisingly large number of bronzes and ivories, this unique set of books traces back to the ancient Shu civilization and explores how Sanxingdui people lived, including food, clothing, shelter, transportation, labor, and migration, as well as the hidden geography, climate, and environmental knowledge, which leaves infinite imagination space for children.

About 2500 years ago, the Chinese sage known as Lao-Tzu (Laozi) left the realm of words for the wordless world of the mystic hermit. Before he left, however, he inscribed his wisdom in 5000 ideographs now known as the “Tao Te Ching.” This work explores not only the basic tenets of Taoism, but shows also how Lao-Tzu’s mystic vision relates to the vision and practices of contemplatives and mystics of various cultural and spiritual backgrounds. John Sack has authored many books, among them his novel The Franciscan Conspiracy available in 17 languages.
