Andreas Thomas

Merle ist eine neuromantische Suche nach sich selbst, kaschiert als Suche nach der Frau, und eine letzte, sentimentale u erung im ausgehenden 20. Jahrhundert, kurz bevor die Wolken der Endzeit begannen unsere Gef hle massiv zu verdunkeln.

Auf dem Lande - Fragmente eines Jahres handelt vom Aufstieg und Niedergang eines Sonderlings. Der Versuch einer Untersuchung.

Three stories of love that transcend the boundaries of earthly existence. The man who secures the object of his love by moving it to the moon. The couple who must heal their bodies and souls by allowing the all-consuming love of their higher-dimensional shadows to fulfill itself. The woman who is caught in the time warps and other worlds of her elusive lover and must find a way to their common reality on Earth. Extra-terrestrial is not only a concept of space and time, but the transcending forces of love and imagination.

Again and again in this collection, Andreas Thomas returns to this mysterious predicament: why is it that the human being seems to take such a perverse, if guilt-ridden, delight in actively shunning the good? Life would obviously be easier for us all if we "loved our neighbor"--and though we have clear instructions on just how to accomplish that we refuse to follow them! The real why is not whether God exists but why did He choose to prove to us that His Creation was truly an act of Love. By sacrificing His own Son to the very human mystery of Death, God has reopened, in effect, the road to communication between the sacred and the profane...

Twenty centuries existence of Christianity is enough time to evaluate its impact not only on world history but also on the quality of life of human mankind and even more on the happiness of every unique individual being on this earth. What is the answer to the question of Jesus: "when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?" An ordinary thinking person presents his sincere opinion, not as an expert but as a common mortal, who confronted with the inevitable questions of existence, attempts to answer them with common sense and good will as the main criteria. He does not claim that his aspects represent the only truth. But he may assure the reader that though these thoughts are shared with many other co-mortals, they seldom have been openly expressed. If nothing else, inside this book may be traced a novel, fresh look at the Love of Jesus, which "casts out fear."
