Product details

Bonhoeffer: The Paths to Freedom by Alois Prince... This book presents three journeys along different paths that intersect at a pivotal and dramatic moment in German history. The first is a journey into the self of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a unique and multifaceted figure. She has been revered and elevated, and her name has been given to numerous schools, institutions, and squares in Germany, yet she remains largely undiscovered. Here, without veneration, we encounter all her weaknesses, complexities, and contradictions as she comes to know herself, the world, and the path to God. The second journey is historical, covering the history of Central Europe in the first half of the 20th century, a period characterized by a rapid succession of events and the rise of fierce, warring ideological empires with chauvinistic tendencies and a repugnant propensity for militarism and aggression, which directly influenced the formation of our protagonist's ideas. The third journey is primarily geographical, as the events lead us to its locations in Germany, the turbulent heart of Europe, and in particular to the Kingdom of Prussia and its unique capital, Berlin, the beautiful and unbreakable city.
