"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt." Dieser erste Satz aus Franz Kafkas Erzählung Die Verwandlung gilt völlig zu Recht als einer der besten Romananfänge der Literaturgeschichte. Dabei gibt es im Grunde nichts Langweiligeres als eine Geschichte morgens mit dem Aufwachen des Hauptprotagonisten beginnen zu lassen. Doch Gregor Samsa wacht nicht einfach auf – nein, er "erwacht" und zwar aus "unruhigen Träumen".

Trója. A valaha volt legcsodálatosabb királyság, az égei világ ékköve. Ragyogó Ilion, a város, amely nem egyszer, de kétszer tündöklött és bukott el. Az ókori görög mitológia legnagyobb és leghíresebb története, az, amely a trójai háború históriáját írja le. Az úgynevezett Nagy történetet olvashatjuk, illetve hallhatjuk tehát újra, amelyet először Homérosz írt le Íliász című halhatatlan művében, csak ezúttal Fry jól ismert, egyszerre humoros, szellemes, komoly, mégis szórakoztató stílusában

In our interconnected world, self-interest and social-interest are rapidly becoming indistinguishable. If current negative trajectories remain, including growing climate destabilization, biodiversity loss, and economic inequality, an impending future of ecological collapse and societal destabilization will make "personal success" virtually meaningless. Yet our broken social system incentivizes behavior that will only make our problems worse. If true human rights progress is to be achieved today, it is time we dig deeper—rethinking the very foundation of our social system.

Today, it is known by many names, like the First Iraq War, Kuwait War, and, most commonly, the Gulf War or the First Gulf War. It was a rather short conflict, lasting just shy of seven months between late 1990 and early 1991. Yet, it was still rather impactful because it showcased several essential innovations and changes in political and technological aspects of warfare, some of which are still part of modern conflicts.
