Poetry, literature, music and films are always trying to touch sensitive strings when it comes to love and infatuation. Who hasn't seen the film Titanic or the book Wuthering Heights and who isn't familiar with Olga and Erik from Turkish delight, who are head over heels in love? But when we try to fathom what love and infatuation are at their core, we often fall silent. The ancient, wise Greeks described infatuation as a temporary form of madness, and when you awoke from this semi-comatose state, you saw things much more clearly again. Philosophers hardly dared to approach this phenomenon. Nevertheless, Frank decided to give it a try, partly on the basis of historical lovers. The happy couple Francesco and Bianca de Medici served as a model. What makes a healthy and successful love relationship in 2019, what are the pitfalls and does the swan relationship still have a future for life?

In Jenevercity, Mayor Pearl-chain is in dire straits, accused of cronyism, abuse of power and creating a culture of fear.

The heads of this bureau, Long Jake, Ant and Colt, will piggyback her. Ex-journalist Tick is working overtime in his anonymous and vicious internet forum, constantly spewing thousands of smears, slanders and Indian stories into the ether through his tightly managed whispering campaign.

All the building blocks are in place for a crazy tragicomedy with plenty of intrigue, black humour and a surprising denouement. This little book is inspired by Dante's Inferno, the 5th gorge of the Maleboge.

This book traces the early history of Sparta up to the foundation of the city-state of Sparta in roughly 1100 BC and then continues this historical journey through the many highs and lows of the city-state that inspired awe in friend and foe alike. Besides the collected works of Herodotos, Thucydides and Plutarchus, countless other sources provide input. Where gaps existed, they were filled in based on common sense. Sparta mostly unwittingly also inspired total regiems, including in the former Soviet Union. Can Sparta Rotterdam dream big and match the iron discipline and fearlessness of the old Sparta and go for stunts like Leicester in England? At the end of the book, Frank holds up a mirror of Lycurgus to our current society and comes to surprising conclusions
