The Handling of the Solitary
Summary
In his audiobook handling of the solitary, Ibn Bajja introduces us to the wise philosopher who considers that all the meanings of our existence are not derived from religious commands, or from laws of society, or even laws of the state, but rather derived directly from our own reason. The solitary is someone who authentically thinks differently than the others, those deceitful many in a quite irrational corrupt society. The solitary is the honest opinion, though stranger in his homeland; amid the ignorant corrupt community. Solitude and solitariness are temporary conditions of rebuilding self-awareness, rethinking of possible solutions to reach the ideal city, and taking a new gulp of air to heal and face common ignorant mobs with the right cures. Ibn Bajja is writing about solitariness and solitude as positive conditions where the thinker is left to decide the path of reason. The author is trying to answer the following question: how can the ideal being with the help of a genuine mind survive in a corrupt filthy place full of evils that do not fit within the rational realm?

Almighty: Allmachtig
Summary
Just before the outbreak of World War II, Fabienne, a young German girl, flees her abusive, widowed father and takes a job caring for disabled children in a home on the outskirts of Berlin. When Jurgen, a young soldier, turns up on the doorstep of the home asking if he can take Fabienne to the local dance, the women running the organisation agree against their better judgement. Soon the young couple is in love. With the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party comes persecution of anyone seen to be “inferior to the German master race”. This includes children with disabilities, and Fabienne and the women flee the Nazi wrath, taking the vulnerable children with them on an epic journey across Germany. Some will survive the Nazi punishments, others will not. But in the background is her relationship with Jurgen. Will he stay loyal or betray her to his masters in the Nazi party? When she hears that her father is in jail awaiting the death penalty for murder, she is forced to come out of hiding to visit him and make her peace. The risk is enormous, but in doing so, Fabienne learns some extraordinary news, which changes the course of her life.
