Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Menschen gegen Geld freikaufen Ja, das gibt es bis heute. Der Deal zwischen dem SED Regime in der DDR und dem Westen Deutschlands verhalf 33755 Menschen der DDR in die Freiheit. Zwischen 1964 und 1989 wurden die DDR Querulanten von der Bundesrepublik Deutschland für über 3,2 Milliarden D Mark freigekauft. Die Freiheit jedes einzelnen freigekauften DDR Bürgers kostete Westdeutschland 95 847,- DM Westmark. Dieses merkwürdige Geschäft kam nur zustande, weil Ostdeutschland dringend diese harte westdeutsche Währung zum Überleben seines maroden Staates brauchte. Menschenhandel gab es schon immer. Aus anderen Motiven wurden Menschen wie Vieh behandelt und in Amerika als Sklaven verkauft. Was ist ein kräftiger junger Mann aus Afrika auf dem Sklavenmarkt wird gewesen. Für seine Arbeitskraft zahlten Grundeigentümer ein paar Dollar und nutzen ihre Sklaven so lange aus, bis sie nach jahrzehntelanger Sklavenarbeit auf den Baumwoll- und Erdnussfeldern erschöpft und ausgezehrt starben. Der Wert eines einzelnen Menschen ist jedoch bei Gott gleich hoch. Wer zahlt den Preis zur Erlösung in eine ewige Freiheit. Das kann nur derjenige zahlen, der dich erschaffen hat. Unser Schöpfer liebt jeden Menschen gleich. Meinen Wert nach weltlichen Maßstäben zu messen ist zutiefst würdelos. Deswegen ist die Würde des Menschen unantastbar. Wenn du es wünscht, kauft dich Jesus Christus frei. Vertraue dich ihm an, er macht dich vollkommen frei. Egal wie dich dann andere Menschen behandeln. Du bist freigekauft durch den Sohn Gottes Jesus Christus und bis für alle Zeit in Sicherheit. Jetzt und in Ewigkeit. Die Kompassnadel zeigt nach Norden. Also drehst du dich so, dass auch du nach Norden schaust. Die Nadel und du schaut in die gleiche Richtung. Dann ist links von dir Westen. Rechts Osten. Hinter dir Süden. Es scheint für deine Orientierung alles klar zu sein. In den USA sind die großen Highways in diese vier Himmelsrichtungen ausgeschildert. Nord, West, East und Sud.…

Hardcover. 8vo. Quarter black cloth with gilt spine lettering and brown paper over boards, pictorial price-clipped dust jacket. xiv, 240pp. Line drawings. Near fine/near fine. Handsome and tight early (not first) printing of this gathering of "New Yorker" letters -- with a twist: From the library of Adlai E. Stevenson III (1930-2021), U.S. Senator from Illinois, and before him of his father, Illinois governor and twice Democratic presidential candidate Adlai E. Stevenson II (1900-65). Governor Stevenson clearly read this copy, for he has pencilled neat small checkmarks on about one dozen pages where he is referenced, and on the front flyleaf he pencils "Page" and lists eight of those pages; lastly he pencils a cryptic number on rear jacket flap. The first of these is the well-known opening of White's February 6, 1956 essay "Bedfellows" on page 37, which begins: "I am lying here in my private sick bay on the east side of town between Second and Third avenues, watching starlings from the vantage point of bed. Three Democrats are in bed with me: Harry Truman (in a stale copy of the Times), Adlai Stevenson (in Harper's), and Dean Acheson (in a book called A Democrat Looks at His Party)." Not a first edition, but unique -- Stevenson clearly enjoyed these many references to him and the favorable light in which White held him.…
