New essays revealing the enduring significance of the story made
famous in the 1587 Faustbuch and providing insights into the forces
that gave the sixteenth century its distinct character. The
Reformation and Renaissance, though segregated into distinct
disciplines today, interacted and clashed intimately in Faust, the
great figure that attained European prominence in the anonymous
1587 Historia von D. Johann Fausten. The original Faust behind
Goethe's great drama embodies a remote culture. In his century,
Faust evolved from an obscure cipher to a universal symbol. The age
explored here as "the Faustian century" invested the Faustbuch and
its theme with a symbolic significance still of exceptional
relevance today. The new essays in this volume complement one
another, providing insights into the tensions and forces that gave
the century its distinctcharacter. Several essays seek Faust's
prototypes. Others elaborate the symbolic function of his figure
and discern the resonance of his tale in conflicting allegiances.
This volume focuses on the intersection of historical accounts and
literary imaginings, on shared aspects of the work and its times,
on concerns with obedience and transgression, obsessions with the
devil and curiosity about magic, and quandaries created by shifting
religious and worldlyauthorities. Contributors: Marguerite de

Journalists have often put themselves in danger to convey crucial
information to the public. Many journalists have even died doing
their jobs, investigating crimes or traveling to battle zones-and
sometimes documenting events in their own communities. Recently,
reporters have been assaulted, mocked and silenced, their reports
dubbed "fake news" and them, "enemies of the people." A free press
is one of the country's most reliable foundations for ensuring a
democracy for current and future generations. With a focus on
American journalism, this book tackles issues affecting today's
news through profiling journalists killed on the job, whether from
violent conspiracy, terrorism or mass shootings.
This is a story about an adoptee's search for his biological roots
that lasted over 25 years. It relates how one little piece of
information led to another, and then another, and how there
eventually seemed to be no end to the amount of doors to open and
things to find out. Yet there also seemed to be no end to the
amount of brick walls, dead ends, and stumbling blocks in his path.
The story of his search started in February of 1968, when he held
his newly born daughter for the first time. After his search had
ground to a halt a couple years later, there was an incredible
coincidence in a small classroom in a large Cleveland college. At
one point, a number of newly found cousins, aunts, and uncles swore
that they had seen pictures of him dead and in a coffin. The story
continues to one sunny morning in July of 1996 on the top of a
windy hill in a cemetery where he knelt in prayer at a
long-forgotten grave. This story will inspire any adoptee or anyone
searching for lost family members to never give up, to look around
all corners, to be patient, and to use each piece of information
with consideration for anyone who might be hurt by its being
divulged. All the information that he uncovered was obtained
without having to go to court. Persistence, prayers, common sense,
curiosity, and patience paid off.
