Kassem Eid survived arrest in al-Assad’s regime, a chemical weapons attack that shocked the world, and the siege of a city where he fought with the Syrian rebel army. This is his story―a unique and powerfully moving testimony for our times, with a foreword by Janine di Giovanni.On August 21, 2013, Kassem Eid nearly died in a sarin gas attack in the town of Moadamiya. At least 1,500 people were killed. Later that day, he was hit by a mortar while helping the Free Syrian Army fight government forces. He survived that, too. But his entire world―friends, neighbors, family, everything he knew―had been devastated beyond repair.Eid recalls moving to Moadamiya in 1989, at the age of three. The streets where he and his eleven siblings played were fragrant with jasmine. But he soon realized that he was treated differently at school because of his family's Palestinian immigrant origins, and their resistance to the brutal regime. When Bashar al-Assad succeeded his father in 2000, hopes that he would ease the state's severity were swiftly crushed.The unprecedented scope of this brave, deeply felt memoir makes it unique in the body of literature to emerge from the Syrian civil war. Eid illuminates the realities of growing up in a corrupt dictatorship; the strictures of living under siege; the impact of unspeakable violence; and how, at extraordinary personal risk, he drew worldwide attention to the assault on cities across Syria. This is a searing account of oppression, war, grit, and escape, and a heartbreaking love letter to a world lost forever.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gegenstand der vorliegenden Forschung ist der Eid als Grundlage des politischen Bündnisses in der Geschichte des Okzidents und sein Bezug auf die metapolitische Rechtfertigung und Heiligung der Macht. Der Autor geht von der Feststellung aus, daß die heutige Welt eine Krise der Politik und ihrer in den vergangenen Jahrhunderten entstandenen institutionellen und konstitutionellen Mechanismen erlebt, eine Krise, die auch den Menschen als politisches Wesen einbezieht und nicht nur die Regeln des Rechtsstaates, des liberalen und demokratischen Staates, sondern auch die gesamte Entwicklung des politischen Systems des Okzidents aufs Spiel setzt. Das Thema des Eids als Bindeglied zwischen Politik und Sakralem ist der Schlüssel dieses Prozesses. Dieser bereits im Altertum als Anrufung der Götter zur Unterstützung von Bezeugungen, Versprechen und Bedürfnissen weitverbreitete Brauch erhielt vom Christentum die Bedeutung des Eides als Sakrament; später wurde ihm jener Vertragscharakter beigemessen, der ihn zur Grundlage der Mechanismen des öffentlichen und privaten Lebens machte. Nachdem sich im 18. Jahrhundert die Vertragslehre und die Theorie des Naturrechts erschöpft hatten, verwandelte sich der politische Eid in eine Art weltliches Gelübde, mit dem sich der einzelne dem Staat weiht. In dieser begrenzten Form verliert der Eid nicht nur seine ursprüngliche religiöse Bedeutung, auch seine Gültigkeit und Nützlichkeit als Rechtsgebilde werden in Frage gestellt. 456 pp. Deutsch
