Life has the capacity of great moments and attainment, of lives well lived, fulfilling for ourselves and for those we touch. But for others life is arduous. There is no spark to ignite the curiosity, to explore and achieve a stability and a growth to their lives. Indeed their lives, in their own eyes, become almost meaningless, their sense of themselves subsumed under a myriad of problems, whether real or imagined. Seismic events in a life might crush them; the loss of a loved one for instance. Coping is difficult, support hard to find and isolation abounds.

Der diabolische Priester "Claude Frollo" benutzt die Religion, um eigene Interessen zu verfolgen. Dessen Diener "Quasimodo" verliebt sich in die schöne "Esmeralda", die nur Augen für den Offizier "Phoebus" hat, aber leider mit dem erfolglosen Dichter "Peter Gringoire" verheiratet ist. Auf Basis dieser Ausgangssituation entfacht Victor Hugo ein dramatisches literarisches Feuerwerk, dass mit aberwitzigen Charakteren und Szenen sowohl Herz und Verstand inspiriert wie historisches Wissen vermittelt. Ganz großes Hörbuch-Kino!

At the best of times, Jeremiah could be described as a vengeful man. In the worst of times, one could call him a monster. The reality, though, was that he was a monster hunter. Or that's how he liked to style himself. In a world of creatures that went bump in the night, few fought for humanity. Fewer still put humanity first. Fighting with sword, blade, or word, their numbers were insufficient. Those who did did so from places and situations that the world didn't appreciate or condone. That they'd actively disavow and ignore.

From a higher salary to a better bargain to a little more help around the house, there are all sorts of desires that we harbor but never achieve, when the fact is we haven't taken the most important step of all.

It has become the prevalent view among sociologists, historians, and some theistic scientists that religion and science have never been in serious conflict. Some even claim that Christianity was responsible for the development of science. In a sweeping historical survey that begins with ancient Greek science and proceeds through the Renaissance and Enlightenment to contemporary advances in physics and cosmology, Stenger makes a convincing case that not only is this conclusion false, but Christianity actually held back the progress of science for 1,000 years.
