Tod

"Trauer ist der Prozess des Sterbens in einem lebendigen Körper." Mit solchen Worten beschreibt Lotte Anders ihren sehr persönlichen Trauerprozess. Nach dem Tod ihres Mannes versucht sie in der Tiefe zu ergründen, was trauern bedeutet und wie Alleinsein gelingt nach fast vierzig Jahren Partnerschaft. Sie nimmt dabei den Leser mit auf eine nicht immer angenehme Spurensuche in ihre eigene Vergangenheit und die Verstrickungen ihrer Ehe, durch schmerzliche Erinnerungen hindurch und auf berührende Reisen. Feinfühlig gelingt es ihr, allmählich aus der Unsichtbarkeit des Witwendaseins heraus zu treten als die, die jetzt eine Andere ist. Ein Buch, dass vielleicht auch anderen Trauernden hilft, sich mit ihrem Erleben zu zeigen.

A piercing glimpse into the beliefs that bind people to their dead. The Belief In Immortality And The Worship Of The Dead (Volume II) opens a door to the living memory of Polynesian cultures, where death rituals, ancestral worship, and the belief in immortality shape everyday life.This scholarly ethnography, a keystone of Frazer's historical ethnology, offers a precise, humane study of Polynesian death rites and social cosmologies. It reads as more than a record; it is an anthropology monograph that illuminates how belief systems underpin kinship, ritual practice, and social order. For students of anthropology and researchers alike, the work stands as research reference material that captures early twentieth-century methods, language, and insight into Oceania ethnology classics.Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's readers and future generations. It is not merely a reprint but a collector's item and a cultural treasure, inviting casual readers to savour Frazer's thoughtful, reverent prose and inviting scholars to trace connections with Frazer's other works. The Belief In Immortality And The Worship Of The Dead (Volume II) will appeal to polynesian cultures enthusiasts, museum staff, and anyone drawn to scholarly ethnography that bridges history and modern understanding.

David Y. Weiss was a soldier trained in how to use guns-and how easily they can be misused. After his military service, he went on to work in engineering and logistics and was granted a patent on an idea that would help to prevent a gun's accidental discharge.
