Durch eine glückliche Fügung kommen ihre Mutter und sie in der Fabrik von Oskar Schindler unter.

Dieses Buch bietet Beatles-Fans neue Erkenntnisse und richtet sich auch an Leser, die an New-Age-Themen und spirituellen Erkenntnissen interessiert sind. Joshua M. Greene beleuchtet in seiner intimen Biografie den geheimnisvollen Beatle George Harrison. Greene, der mit Harrison befreundet war, wertete unveröffentlichte Gespräche mit Harrisons engsten Freunden und einem seiner bedeutendsten spirituellen Lehrer, Bhaktivedanta Swami Praphubada, aus. Dadurch werden Anekdoten über Harrison und seine musikalischen Bekannten wie Bob Dylan und Elvis Presley erstmals veröffentlicht. Harrison selbst beschrieb seinen Weg als das Erklimmen eines materiellen Berges, nur um zu erkennen, dass es auf der anderen Seite noch viel mehr zu gewinnen gab. Greene thematisiert, wie viele Superstars diesen Weg gegangen sind und ihre Erfolge hinter sich gelassen haben, um ihre religiöse Vision zu verfolgen. Harrison wird als „zeitgenössischer Mystiker“ dargestellt, und Greene vermittelt ein tieferes Verständnis von Harrisons Musik, indem er die spirituellen Dimensionen seines Schaffens aufdeckt. Diese Biografie ist das erste und einzige Werk, das Harrisons Leben und Werk durch die Linse seiner spirituellen Wanderschaft betrachtet und erzählt die Geschichte eines der einflussreichsten Entertainer, der alles aufgab, um Gott zu erkennen.

"Discover the man behind the movement in this intimate biography of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). In 1965, a seventy-year-old man--soon to be known as Prabhupada--set sail from India to America with a few books in his bag, pennies in his pockets, and a message of love in his heart. He landed in New York at the peak of the revolutionary counterculture movement of the '60s, and went on to spark a global spiritual renaissance that led to the creation of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, which has changed millions of lives. Through the depiction of Prabhupada as both an enlightened luminary and a personable, funny, and conscientious individual, Swami in a Strange Land shows why cultural icons such as George Harrison and Allen Ginsberg incorporated Prabhupada's teachings into their lives, and why millions more around the globe embarked upon the path of bhakti yoga in his footsteps. Carefully researched, skillfully crafted, and extraordinarily intimate, this narrative follows Prabhupada as he rises from an anonymous monk to a world-renowned spiritual leader. Set in locations as far ranging as remote Himalayan caves and the gilded corridors of Paris's City Hall, Swami in a Strange Land traces the rise of Eastern spirituality in the West--and in particular, the rise of yoga culture and vegetarianism and the concepts of karma and reincarnation. A remarkable journey into the deepest dimensions of the human experience, Swami in a Strange Land shows how one man with a dream can change the world."--Publisher's description

"Unstoppable is the ultimate immigrant story and an epic David-and-Goliath adventure. While American teens were socializing in ice cream parlors, Siggi was suffering beatings by Nazi hoodlums for being a Jew and was soon deported along with his family to the darkest place the world has ever known: Auschwitz. Siggi used his wits to stay alive, pretending to have trade skills the Nazis could exploit to run the camp. After two death marches and near starvation, he was liberated from camp Mauthausen and went to work for the US Army hunting Nazis, a service that earned him a visa to America. On arrival, he made three vows: to never go hungry again, to support the Jewish people, and to speak out against injustice. He earned his first dollar shoveling snow after a fierce blizzard. His next job was laboring in toxic sweatshops. From these humble beginnings, he became President, Chairman and CEO of a New York Stock Exchange-listed oil company and grew a full-service commercial bank to more than $4 billion in assets"-- Amazon.com
