Proof of Heaven
Summary
A Harvard-trained neurosurgeon's minute-by-minute account of his own near-death experience - and what he discovered in the heavenly realm beyond life. On November 10, 2008, Dr. Eben Alexander was driven into coma by a disease so lethal that only 1 in 10,000,000 survive. Seven days later, he awakened with memories of a fantastic odyssey deep into another realm that were more real than this earthly one - memories that included meeting a deceased birth sister he had never known existed. Dr. Alexander deployed all his knowledge as a scientist to find out whether his mind could have played a trick on him. In its shutdown state, there was no way it could have functioned at all. That left only one conclusion: that we are conscious in spite of our brains - that, in fact, consciousness is at the root of all existence. The evidence supporting Dr. Alexander's experience transformed him into a believer in God's unconditional love and brought reconciliation to his family - and will upend our ideas about human consciousness and spirituality.

Fatelessness
Summary
At the age of 14, György Köves is plucked from his home in a Jewish section of Budapest and, without any particular malice, placed on a train to Auschwitz. He does not understand the reason for his fate. He doesn't particularly think of himself as Jewish. And his fellow prisoners, who decry his lack of Yiddish, keep telling him, "You are no Jew." In the lowest circle of the Holocaust, György remains an outsider. The genius of Imre Kertész's unblinking novel lies in its refusal to mitigate the strangeness of its events - not least of which is György's dogmatic insistence on making sense of what he witnesses, or pretending that what he witnesses makes sense. Haunting, evocative, and all the more horrifying for its rigorous avoidance of sentiment, Fatelessness is a masterpiece in the traditions of Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, and Tadeusz Borowski.

Roman eines Schicksallosen
Summary
Schreiben, um zu überleben, um weiterleben zu können - nach Buchenwald, nach Auschwitz. Imre Kertész zählt zu den wenigen Autoren, denen Literatur nach Auschwitz noch möglich ist. Sein "Roman eines Schicksallosen" gilt als eines der wichtigsten Zeugnisse des Holocaust. Gemeinsam mit dem Jugendlichen György wird der Hörer in die Welt der Vernichtungslager gestoßen, lebt und erlebt die Naivität des Beteiligten, der seinem kindlichen Leben entrissen wird und in die Maschinerie der Vernichtungslager gerät. Kindlich naiv erlebt er als immerfort Glücksuchender Deportation, Zwangsarbeit und Vernichtung, erlebt den Verlust an Naivität und die allmähliche Erkenntnis der Realität.
