A. N. Wilson Bücher

Was sind die Fakten über das Leben Jesu, im Gegensatz zu den Mythen oder unbewiesenen Glaubenssätzen, die die Wunder, den Tod und die Auferstehung umgeben? Wie und wann wurde das Christentum zu einer eigenen Religion, getrennt vom Judentum, in das Jesus geboren wurde? Inwieweit war seine Macht über Zeitgenossen politischer als religiöser Natur? A. N. Wilsons Antworten auf diese Fragen werden Leser aller Glaubensrichtungen oder Skepsis faszinieren.

The narrative delves into the pivotal role of Paul in shaping Christianity, emphasizing that without him, Jesus remains a devoted Jew focused on strict observance of Judaism. A. N. Wilson explores Paul's journey through the Roman Empire, highlighting his efforts to convert others and craft influential epistles that define Christian understanding. The biography examines Paul's motivations and the complexities of his character, questioning what he would think of the religion that emerged from his teachings. This insightful exploration reveals Paul as Christianity's true architect.

In this work, A.N. Wilson's account shows how the decline of religious certainty in Victorian times had its origin with the 18th-century sceptics, and brought a devastating sense of emotional loss which extends to our own times.

A brilliant and insightful celebration of the imaginative genius of Charles Dickens, published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of his death.

Die Abenteuer einer jungen, für ihre Zeit frech unabhängigen Autorin (ihrer Schöpferin nicht ganz unähnlich), die als Sekretärin einer Autobiographischen Gesellschaft den Lebensberichten der verschrobenen Mitglieder Glanzlichter aufsetzen muß. Ohne ihr Zutun gleichen die Schicksale der Leute um sie herum immer mehr denen in ihrem eben entstehenden Roman... Ein witziges Durcheinander von Fakten und Fiktion.

The structure of the book is chronological, with digressions. From Roman and then Norman London, we move on to Chaucer's London - the city of the Peasants Revolt, Dick Whittington and the great Livery Companies. In Tudor and Stuart London many believed the city was being wrecked by over-population, over-building and the greed of speculators. Eighteenth-century London witnessed the South Sea Bubble, gin, highwaymen and the Gordon riots; but also banking, hospitals, and the elegant design of everyday things. In the nineteenth century, expanding vigorously, the city resisted any overall make-over. With Queen Victoria came the Railway Age, which made and unmade the city. Chartism, anti-semitism, overcrowding and cholera. But engineering triumphs too. If the First World War was a nightmare happening elsewhere, the amazing six years of 1939-45 were the city's finest hour. Post-1945, property developers took over, with disastrous results. The author celebrates the cosmopolitan city that mobility and immigration have created, while deploring the `moronization' of the city, exemplified by the Millennium Dome and Ken Livingstone's 2002 London Plan.

The Daily Legion is a tabloid that peddles celebrity gossip and denounces asylum seekers. However, its financial survival depends on the support of a brutal African government. Recklessly defending this corrupt dictatorship, the newspaper faces off against Father Vivyan Chell, an Anglican monk and missionary who is working to overthrow the corrupt regime. My Name Is Legion is a savage satire on the morality of contemporary Britain - its Press, its politics, its Church, its rich, its underclass. Wilson's London is a bleak, if occasionally hilarious, place: murderous, lustful, money-obsessed and haunted by strange gods.
