Born in 1940, a year of war, he grew up amidst the ruins of the post-war period, shaped by his school and university years during the early days of the Federal Republic of Germany, and a long working life in a rapidly changing world: in these memoirs, a child of the war looks back on 85 years.The narrator takes readers on a personal journey through family, school, university, work and the years that followed - and tells of the many people he encountered along the way. The result is a vivid portrait of a life in the 20th and 21st centuries - and, at the same time, a piece of contemporary history told first-hand.

This work includes two short novels. I have transformed true events into short novels. I was one of them who survived the war until the last day. What happened in Sri Lanka in the twenty-first century is the genocide of Tamil people in Sri Lanka.An Eternal Testament, a short novel, is a dissection of that genocide. The Tamil race in Sri Lanka, which became a victim of genocide, has not received justice to this day. I firmly believe that this short novel will draw the attention of the international community.The Tamil Eelam Liberation Struggle was a just cause. It is unique compared to other liberation struggles in the world. Fighters in the Tamil Eelam Liberation Struggle engaged in the movement with honesty and in truth. I have depicted the experience and history of one of them in the short novel One Nation One Heart; One Heart One Nation. I believe that the short novel will help the world understand the nation of the liberation struggle.Let the sense of emancipation spread among the people all over the world. Let the door of theheart of the World Court open! Let us get justice.

Is Shakespeare a philosophical playwright or not? T S Eliot suggests he is not, a point of view which this work disagrees with. The reason he has not been identified as a philosophical artist is because of the modern philosophical view of aesthetics, which is at odds with both Aristotelian and Kantian views. Freudian and Kleinian psychoanalytical concepts are used to analyse the "enveloping" qualities of his productions as well as the aesthetic result. Shakespeare has an awareness of what happens in life when the balance of the mind of an agent is disturbed by mental illness and he demonstrates the grasp of this problem in several of his most famous plays. He also has a deep understanding of the psychology of the tyrant and the large-scale consequences which follow from this. Kant argues that beauty and the sublime are "symbols of morality": a judgement that requires an analysis of both symbolism and the metaphysics of morality if it is to be fully understood. Shakespeares work is described as "cosmopolitan", and this attractive characteristic is linked to what is described as the "hidden plan" for civilisation: a plan aiming at the Aristotelian hylomorphic essence-specifying-definition of man as a "rational animal capable of discourse". The commentaries of Wilson Knight and Harold Bloom are also philosophically evaluated from a philosophical point of view.

Saint-Simon spent a lifetime seeking out scandals at the court of the Sun King, whom he thought an arrogant monster whose extravagant wars and buildings would bankrupt France and bring about the fall of the French monarchy as it did, ultimately causing the French Revolution. He knew precisely who was who at court, whose genealogies were fake and who slept with whom and how many bastards they had and how much they drank. During the dissolute Regency that followed, he held high office but was involved in the tragic Mississippi bubble. He spent his last ten years writing his memoirs. He had the last laugh. Many who thought they were his friends would have been amazed.
