Leni Riefenstahl – Three strikes and you're out.
Whatever you can say about Leni Riefenstahl (1902-2003) and plenty of people have said (and written) a lot about her, she led a fascinating life. She was beautiful and talented.

Richard Wagner from Scene to Scene utilizing C.G. Jung
“Wagner’s Ring and Its Symbols” originally published 1984. (Engish and German article).

Die katholische Kirche ist sich ihrer Vorteile bewusst....

Conversion from the Top – A Jesuit in the Forbidden City: Matteo Ricci 1552-1610
Das Buch ist eine vollständige, zuweilen recht wissenschaftliche und sehr detaillierte Biographie , dessen Kapitel hauptsächlich nach Wirkungsorten und in den letzten zwei Kapiteln nach sein Hauptwerken angeordnet sind. Der Autor ist Chinese-American, der daher auch chinesische Quellen berücksichtigten kann. Das Buch wird vom Kapitel Beijing an ausserordentlich lebendig, und brilliant, geradezu einzigarig wenn es Riccis Argumentation beschreibt....
