  #1 New York Times Bestseller 
  What would happen if we called on God for help and God actually appeared? In Mitch Albom’s profound new novel of hope and faith, a group of shipwrecked passengers pull a strange man from the sea. He claims to be “the Lord.” And he says he can only save them if they all believe in him. 
  Adrift in a raft after a deadly ship explosion, ten people struggle for survival at sea. Three days pass. Short on water, food and hope, they spot a man floating in the waves. They pull him in. 
  “Thank the Lord we found you,” a passenger says. 
  “I am the Lord,” the man whispers. 
  So begins Mitch Albom’s most beguiling novel yet. 
  Albom has written of heaven in the celebrated number one bestsellers The Five People You Meet in Heaven and The First Phone Call from Heaven. Now, for the first time in his fiction, he ponders what we would do if, after crying out for divine help, God actually appeared before us? 
  In The Stranger in the Lifeboat, Albom keeps us guessing until the end: Is this strange man really who he claims to be? What actually happened to cause the explosion? Are the survivors in heaven, or are they in hell? The story is narrated by Benji, one of the passengers, who recounts the events in a notebook that is discovered—a year later—when the empty life raft washes up on the island of Montserrat. It falls to the island’s chief inspector, Jarty LeFleur, a man battling his own demons, to solve the mystery of what really happened.  
  A fast-paced, compelling novel that makes you ponder your deepest beliefs, The Stranger in the Lifeboat suggests that answers to our prayers may be found where we least expect them.

  The Horror Beneath Reality -...

  SULI Daniel Johnson

  I used to question my memories of those events and, at times, speculated on my mental stability. However, such a volume of experiences has assailed me during my journey, that I must conclude their validity. Having developed the insight I now have, I am as like the person who has been hypnotized to remember a crucial forgotten memory. Upon remembering and possessing the new insight, I find myself wondering if I have always possessed it and, through the interactions of life, had merely forgotten it. 
  All of our perceived reality comes to us through our senses, and these are filtered further by our mental interpretation of that sensory input. From the moment of our birth, we have shaped our perception to select from the Kaleidoscope of colors only those that are perceived as useful to us. Who is to say that much has been ignored? This is why at times, we hear sounds altogether unfamiliar yet possessing an undeniable presence. Sound and touch are senses we little understand, and for this reason, the merciful filters we develop in childhood are not as verbose as with our sight. Yes, we fear the darkness for what it reveals, yet we should just as easily fear the light for what it conceals. At times in the light, I am aware of the terrible beasts that ravage unknown aspects of our being. These terrible and decisive beings have now become my constant companion, and I am ever aware of their continued progress toward me. They seek to coerce me and manipulate me, and it is only with the utmost and continued presence of mind that I am able to resist their attempts at manipulation. As incessant and exhausting as these are, my impossible resolve is ever steadied by the understanding of what will follow if I should give into their ministrations. For you see, I have touched their very spirit, and they mine. This is my story and the story of us all. It is the story of how I came to understand why we all fear the night and have developed false security in the light.

  Alice im Wunderland ist ein erstmals 1865 erschienenes Kinderbuch des britischen Schriftstellers Lewis Carroll. Alice im Wunderland gilt als eines der hervorragenden Werke aus dem Genre des literarischen Nonsens.
  Während ihre Schwester ihr aus einem Buch vorliest, sieht die Titelheldin Alice ein sprechendes, weißes Kaninchen, das auf eine Uhr starrt und meint, es komme zu spät. Neugierig folgt Alice ihm in seinen Bau. Dort fällt sie weit hinunter und landet in einem Raum mit vielen Türen. Nach einiger Zeit findet sie einen Schlüssel, mit dem sie die kleinste Tür aufsperren kann. Sie öffnet diese, schafft es allerdings nicht hindurch, weil sie zu groß ist. Kurz darauf findet sie ein Fläschchen mit einem Trunk, der sie kleiner macht. Aber dann ist die Tür, als sie klein genug ist, wieder zu. Aus diesem Grund entsteht ein Chaos, bis Alice letztlich klein genug ist und ins Wunderland, das von Paradoxa und Absurditäten nur so strotzt, hineingehen kann. 
                                                                                                                                ***
  The Alice in Wonderland is the immortal book of the English writer Lewis Carroll. This is a fairy tale that has been admiring adults and children of the whole world for a century and a half.
  Alice fearlessly jumps into the rabbit mink and gets into an unusual country, where the situation and the girl herself change every minute.
  The Sea Bull in this country sings songs, and Rabbit wears a watch like a real English gentleman. Alice guesses absurd riddles and is honored to play a game of croquet with the Queen.
  Had it all happened in reality or was it only a magical dream that had slipped on the dozing Alice?

  1. Alice im Wunderland.
