Strength to Love includes these classic sermons selected by Dr. King.

The Arc of Protection

The international refugee regime is fundamentally broken. Designed in the wake of World War II to provide protection and assistance, the system is unable to address the record numbers of persons displaced by conflict and violence today. States have put up fences and adopted policies to deny, deter, and detain asylum seekers. People recognized as refugees are routinely denied rights guaranteed by international law. The results are dismal for the millions of refugees around the world who are left with slender prospects to rebuild their lives or contribute to host communities. T. Alexander Aleinikoff and Leah Zamore lay bare the underlying global crisis of responsibility.The Arc of Protection adopts a revisionist and critical perspective that examines the original premises of the international refugee regime. Aleinikoff and Zamore identify compromises at the founding of

Max und Moritz Busch WilhelmPevná vazba

Seit über 150 Jahren treiben Max und Moritz ihren Schabernack. Und Wilhelm Buschs geschliffene Verse und die wunderbar komischen Zeichnungen sind Meisterstücke schwarzen Humors. Mit den anarchistischen Bosheiten seiner beiden Helden zielte er auf die Repräsentanten einer von Phrasendrescherei und Spießertum durchsetzten Gesellschaft und doch schrieb er später: 'Kein Ding sieht so aus, wie es ist. Am wenigsten der Mensch.' Und so haben sich auch Max und Moritz immer wieder verändert und sind neu gelesen worden. Und wer sagt, dass eine Geschichte immer so ausgeht, wie man es erwartet?

Afternoons Go Nowhere

A fascination for history, both as a source of human drama and a field for artful speculation, characterises this collection of poems by Sheenagh Pugh. Here we are with the rebels who sack the Palace of Savoy or inside the head of the disturbed King of France, who was convinced he was made of glass, or with the Bishop Thorlack, blessing a demon-haunted cliff.We are as much taken with the gaps in the chronicles, the elisions, the rumours, as we are with the relics: stone ruins, statues plagued by seagulls, the Maid of Norway in a stained-glass window.Primarily about people, this collection is also steeped in northern weathers and waters of the Scottish Isles, where Pugh now lives. The title poem refers to the abrupt darkness in winter afternoons, but also to a theme of timelessness running through the collection.In Afternoons Go Nowhere the past seems more
