The heirs of legends - German myths in the mirror of present (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

What significance do the ancient myths of our ancestors have today, and what do they have to do with the challenges of the present? Far more than many believe. In times when social and political uncertainty increases or technological developments rapidly transform our world, these ancient stories are once again gaining attention. This book impressively demonstrates that myths are far more than romantic tales from past centuries. They are coded instructions for action in times of crisis-and those who read them correctly will discover strategies for courage, responsibility, and change. The author combines sound cultural-historical knowledge with modern analysis and makes it clear: The ancient stories of Valhalla, Siegfried, and the gods of the Edda are not just cultural heritage, but practical guidance in turbulent times. They remind us that it is the individual who makes decisions when the community begins to hesitate. They show how to create order out of chaos and why forgetting these stories is a danger to every society. This book is aimed at readers interested in myths, history, and cultural memory-and at all those seeking guidance in the present. Anyone who wants to learn why our ancient stories should not only be passed on, but also understood and utilized, will find inspiration, food for thought, and concrete impulses for action here. An indispensable work for all who see in ancient myths not only the past, but also the guideposts for a self-determined future. Hermann Selchow

Autor

Hermann Selchow, Jahrgang 1956, wurde in Schleswig-Holstein geboren. Er wuchs in Schwerin in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern auf. Schon in frühen Kindertagen war er vernarrt in Literatur. Vor allem hatten es ihm die klassische Literatur, aber auch Sachbücher und Philosophie angetan. Die Heldensagen und Schreiber der griechischen Antike sind ebenfalls eine alte Liebe. In seiner Jugend unternahm er erste Gehversuche in der Schreiberei und veröffentlichte einige Kurzerzählungen in einigen Magazinen. Später arbeitete er von 1986-1994 am Schweriner Staatstheater, wo er diese Liebe ausleben und zum Beruf machen konnte. Er machte sich dann einige Jahre artfremd selbstständig. Im Alter von 67 Jahren traute er sich dann wieder öffentlich, als Autor aktiv zu werden. Er lebt zur Zeit in der Nähe von Hamburg. Hermann Selchow veröffentlichte inzwischen mehrere Bücher zu aktuellen und zeitbezogenen Themen. Dabei versucht er seinen eigenen Blickwinkel auf die Geschehnisse der Gegenwart und jüngeren Vergangenheit zu finden, ohne die möglichen Ursachen aus den Augen zu verlieren oder zu verfälschen. ====================================== Hermann Selchow, born in 1956, was born in Schleswig-Holstein. He grew up in Schwerin, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. From an early age, he was passionate about literature. He was particularly drawn to classical literature, but also non-fiction and philosophy. The heroic sagas and writers of ancient Greece are also a long-standing passion. In his youth, he took his first steps in writing and published several short stories in several magazines. Later, from 1986 to 1994, he worked at the Schwerin State Theater, where he was able to pursue this passion and turn it into a career. He then went into business for himself for a few years. At the age of 67, he dared to become a public author again. He currently lives near Hamburg. Hermann Selchow has since published several books on current and contemporary topics. In doing so, he tries to find his own perspective on the events of the present and recent past, without losing sight of or distorting the possible causes.
