In seven fragments, Judith Wermuth-Atkinson looks at the stories of old people from different societies and cultures of our time – from England to New England, Germany, India, and post-World War II Bulgaria. This is an appeal for attention to our attitudes toward the elderly. The author stresses that although "old age seems to be an inconvenience for many families, for society, and most certainly for the economics of any state" we should remember that "the old people of our time are also the creators of this time" and that "what the present represents for us was their project, their work - not just ours.

Blue Poppies

A Spiritual Travelogue from the Himalaya

By: Judith Wermuth-Atkinson

In Blue Poppies, the author shares her experience of spiritual life in the Indian Himalaya. For years, Judith Wermuth-Atkinson had the unique opportunity to study, live, and travel with the Hindu monk and Vedic scholar Siddhartha Krishna. She offers vivid descriptions of men, women, and children in the life of rarely accessible spiritual communities, deliberations on religious devotion or on questions of the clash between tradition and change, and observations of social attitudes toward marriage, caste, and the untouchableall providing insights into a complex world both ancient and modern. That world has taught the author to believe in the endless power of the mind, and she sees it as a precious source of mindfulnessa source that ought to be preserved.

The Red Jester

Andrei Bely's Petersburg as a Novel of the European Modern

By: Judith Wermuth

What was Andrei Bely's aim in his ambiguous novel Petersburg? For the first time, this study firmly places Bely's work at the heart of the European Modern (die Moderne). The book argues that the novel - with its concern for the spiritual and its desire to create new aesthetics - helped reshape fundamental views of reality, of the Self, and of consciousness. Theories of Freud and Jung, as well as the aesthetics of the Viennese Secession, are used to elucidate Bely's approach to the narrative. The book also presents Rudolf Steiner's anthroposophy as the prism through which Bely reflects modernist ideas. (Series: Slavistik - Vol. 1)

When Someday Is Today

Hologram Of An Immigrant's Journey

By: Judith Wermuth-Atkinson

This is a deeply moving personal testimony of a woman with a mixed ethnic and religious background, who grew up as an outcast dissident thinker under an authoritarian regime and took the risk of a dangerous illegal escape, together with her little son. After confronting rejection by a conservative Israeli society and xenophobia in reunified Germany, the author settled in the U.S. and has been exploring questions of identity in the experience of immigrants and contemplating the continuous struggles of people striving for a better life and the refugee and migrant crises in the world. Dr. Judith Wermuth-Atkinson is an author, a literary scholar, and a translator living in New York, USA.
