Jonathan M. Marks Bücher

Stephen Kings Mammutwerk erobert im Februar 2017 die Kinoleinwände – als Franchise-Blockbuster! Acht Bände umfasst Stephen Kings Fantasyserie »Der Dunkle Turm«, das größte Werk des an enorm umfangreichen Romanen nicht gerade schmalen Ouevres des Bestsellerautors. Entsprechend groß war die Aufregung, als sich die Meldung verbreitete, dass Sony Pictures eine gleich mehrteilige Verfilmung plant, ähnlich der »Herr der Ringe«-Trilogie. Im Februar 2017 ist es tatsächlich soweit und der erste Teil des Franchise-Blockbusters wird weltweit in den Kinos starten, u. a. mit Idris Elba (»The Wire«, »The Gunman«) und Matthew McConaughey (»Dallas Buyers Club«, »True Detective«) in den Hauptrollen. Nicht minder umfangreich ist die Comicserie zu »Der Dunkle Turm«, die unter Mitarbeit von Stephen King das Dunkler Turm-Universum eigenständig weitererzählt. 14 Bände sind bereits erschienen, im Mai 2017 kommt der 15. Band in den Handel. Opulent ist auch die Ausstattung dieser edlen Coffee Table Books: zwischen 50 und 70 Bonusseiten mit Kurzgeschichten, Illustrationen usw. machen die Dunkler Turm-Erzählungen auch im Comic zu einem einzigartigen Lesevergnügen!

A conservative college professor's compelling defense of liberal education highlights the importance of reason in shaping individuals and safeguarding democracy. In a time when many conservatives seem to reject higher education, the author argues that liberal education is essential for fostering reasonable citizens. Drawing on the thoughts of John Locke and other influential figures, the professor makes a case for conservatives to re-engage with universities rather than abandon them. He acknowledges that many professors and administrators align with leftist ideologies but contends that the fears of liberal indoctrination often misrepresent the reality of college experiences. The author explores why proponents of liberal education struggle to articulate a strong defense against conservative critiques, emphasizing that such a defense should focus on cultivating reason and pride in rational discourse. More than a guide to campus debates, the work seeks to reclaim the essence of liberal education—encouraging individuals to think critically and engage in meaningful dialogue, rather than merely using reason as a weapon in political conflicts. Ultimately, it advocates for the value of being liberally educated, where reason transcends partisan agendas.
