Bulgakov - The Master and Margarita
The story concerns a visit by the devil to the officially atheistic Soviet Union. The Master and Margarita combines supernatural elements with satirical dark comedy and Christian philosophy, defying categorisation within a single genre. Many critics consider it to be one of the best novels of the 20th century, as well as the foremost of Soviet satires.

David Quinn - Ishmael
The novel examines the hidden cultural biases driving modern civilisation and explores themes of ethics, sustainability and global catastrophe. Largely framed as a Socratic conversation between two characters, Ishmael aims to expose that several widely accepted assumptions of modern society, such as human supremecy, are actually cultural myths that produce catastrophic consequences for humankind and the environment.

Eckhart Tolle - Eine Neue Erde
Eckhart Tolle relates the awakening of a radically changed personal consciousness to the collective consciousness. Only when we move into an "inner space" beyond thoughts, emotions and reactive behaviour do we experience love and an all-encompassing intelligence. Only when many people take this step will a new consciousness develop. Only a new consciousness can save us and the earth from destruction.
