We all live in a glasshouse of our own, knowing very little about the other glasshouses around us. Let s get out of our glasshouses and learn more about life in other professions and recognize that we are all underdogs . The comedy doesn t take only this into account, but it also invites us to look at life with a smile, because those, who smile, live longer. When we ask ourselves who the underdogs in our society are, who comes into our mind? When we think of the social ladder , maybe we come to the lower areas of that ladder: beggars or garbage collectors maybe, but surely no solicitors, doctors and certainly not a king or a queen … But when we look closer, isn t everybody an underdog, concerning obligations and dependencies each and every one of us has to other people? Ten comedic but still thought-provoking stories about very different lives tell us, that even if the jobs are so much different, yet the people are always the same. As a result a beggar can be more free and unbound than a king so who s the underdog now?

We are all on a ‘journey’ of which the values are all equal – No ‘journey’ can claim to be better than the others are. In life, we are given a humble start and travel different paths. Journey of a Lifetime, Volume 1 recounts the bumpy beginnings of my own journey, that of an ordinary citizen: World War II refugee and a childhood in post-war Germany. The ‘journey’ tells of the author’s travels through Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa, where he met many people, learned about different cultures and shared unique experiences. Everything finds a place in this autobiographical work: controversy, challenges, education, hobbies, work, travel, romance, disappointment and success. In the end, the author proves that courage and a positive outlook will help overcome many hurdles on any journey.

‘Journey of a Lifetime, Volume Two‘ is the second chapter in the author’s life, offering reflections of his life with a family of eight. The reader is taken across four continents until Martin and his family finally settle contentedly in Australia.

Migration is a way to self-determine the lives of individuals. The process generally begins with an individual’s refusal to accept certain conditions. It is either the self-determination of the condition itself that drives an individual towards migration; sometimes a spirit of adventure or even an escape from reality also plays a role. Everything in live contains options. Usually the one who never moves has the view that they could lose something in that move; this spirit does not fit the entrepreneur. An entrepreneur is the character suitable for migration. He neither faces material or cultural losses, but rather looks forward to new opportunities in life; opportunities that present a more important or creative role and new challenges.

Nitmiluk, a National Park in the Northern Territory, is on an Australian road leading through Southern Queensland, the Outback, the Northern Territory, the Red Centre, the Top End, North Queensland Tablelands and back to the beginning in South East Queensland – 14,000 kilometres by car closed this tour-circle. As new Australian citizens, the author, Martin Kari, and his wife Arja, went on this journey to Nitmiluk in order to deepen their knowledge of their new homeland. With the experience of journeys in other parts of the world, they found this journey special and unique: moving from a pulsing city-life on the east coast into the dead silence of the Outback. Its dry image hides Australia’s special flora and fauna. However there are many unexpected paradise-oases along with great distances, rich colours, grasslands, bush, rainforests, flat country, vast mountainous areas, rich farming land, semi-deserts, creeks, rivers, endless coastlines and beaches harbouring a magnificent marine life. And not least of all, there are the people of Australia. Landscapes from around the world can be found right here in Australia and therefore it is no surprise to also find people from all parts of the world calling Australia home.

We should not spare any effort avoiding conflict. Widest possible experiences only teaches us to do the right thing for ourselves and others—dialogue helps us to share experiences. When writing, we reach out to others in a wider dialogue. The more people participating at the table of dialogue, the better our chance of avoiding conflict. The world has seen enough conflict; we do not need more of the same. People with societal responsibilities perhaps would benefit from reading the following discourse, with a view to unanimously finding a cure. Analysis paves the way for increased understanding, which, due to wide misinterpretations and confusion amongst many groups of our societies, is in urgent need. There is a tendency to take political advantage out of it.

This book is currently out of stock however you will find it included in “The Third Face of Coins” / “Die Dritte Seite Der Muenze”.

The Poet shows human power” (Original : Des Menschen Kraft im Dichter offenbart”) (Faust – Wolfgang v. Goethe) ‘Here rhyme is not asked to make an exclusive appearance’. ……”poems of Martin Kari are prose poems, written very much from the heart. They are not too much concerned with form and line ending, in other words rhyme only. Truth is here a concern. The reader is not confronted with difficult intellect, rather being invited to share with the poet natural views where the outcome is positive. (FAWQ – Editor, Caroline Glen). —————– „

A search for simplicity in life is not something new. Religions, traditions, and education have all dabbled in the subject without really updating their views with new insights gained from daily experiences. Find out in this book how the author, Martin Kari, updates simplicity within real-life situations by showing the positive pathways in life. The author reminds us also that, when stuck in difficulties, we wake up and long for simplicity. Therefore, it is instrumental not to wait too long for such a wake-up call and not simply ignore a well-intended advice. Simplicity, after all, is the key to everything in a successful life.

Madam Courage is the story of Arja Kari, the author’s wife and soul mate. Born in Finland, Arja’s childhood was immersed in the love and succour of her extended family. From these experiences came the self-confidence and courage that allowed her to face the challenges of life. Arja’s great thirst for knowledge about other countries and the fascinating people from these different societies began with her ever-growing list of childhood penfriends. Never overly interested in formal studies (except perhaps in languages), Arja’s passion was for the school of life. She travelled in her vacation times, paying for her travels by working mostly in hospitals and hostels. It was while on one of these trips that Arja met one of her penfriends who was later to become her husband and partner in life. Together they then continued the adventure that was Madam Courage’s life.
