    >In a recently published collection of letters between Wolfgang Smith and Fr. Malachi Martin, there is this intriguing comment from Prof. Smith:
    >"If the Greek Fathers could integrate Plato and Neoplatonism into the Christian worldview, and St. Thomas Aquinas could do the same for Aristotle, why should it not be possible, in our day, to correct and somehow “Christianize” Hegel, let us say, or Schelling, or even Nietzsche? Is there not in each of these German “Titans” a certain spark of truth that needs to be brought out, to be “liberated”?"
    >That would be a good task for a young scholar.

          And it was passed down to them from God's chosen people, who still do it to this day, practically at an industrial scale at very high levels of society too.

        This is just some unstable weirdo who has found a place in Christianity because the religion is thoroughly degenerated and too weak/unwilling to have any discrimination. Hardly representative of the teachings of Christ.

        Those kinds of movies are known for selling lots of products related to the film. People might not even read them, but they'll still buy it because it's a popular franchise.

          Especially if it's sold in a way that looks like a real book. "Look guys, I have real books on my shelf! Look how smart I am!"

        Do any comic book fans want something like this?
        Are compilations like this normal?

          >Do any comic book fans want something like this?
          Some might do. I would say people who were into Marvel stuff already had these in some compilation. Some others might buy it for the collection factor. But these seem to be aimed at the casual reader, as they are simply like a "best of" album, not really a thorough compilation.
          >Are compilations like this normal?
          Yes, very normal. Usually older comics are reprinted in compilations known as omnibus (which tend to be rather pricy depending on the rarity). These compilations usually include a author's entire run in a particular comic (like Grant Morrison's Batman which is sold in three omnibus volumes).

            Yeah I figured you'd have their entire run and not just a selection

      Penguin is owned by the German publishing conglomerate
      Bertelsmann SE & Co. KGaA
      Bertelsmann owns a ridiculous number of publishers and publishing imprints( 250+)
      Their publishing revenue for 2021 was just under €19 billion.
      Bertelsmann also owns BMG ( that company that runs the CD subscription clubs).
      Other major publishers owned by Bertelsmann are Random House and Springer.
      Bertelsmann also owns a printing group that does a large amount of private printing of books in Germany. ( they seem to be able to due sewn bindings well)
      Bertelsmann wan founded in the early 1800s, but the vast expansion happened after WWII.

          >Raised in a strict Protestant family, Mohn earned his German baccalaureate (Abitur) at the Evangelisch Stiftische Gymnasium Gütersloh in 1939 and went on to complete his Reichsarbeitsdienst, the official labor service of the Third Reich. Afterwards, he volunteered for military service with the Luftwaffe, originally with the aim of becoming a pilot. After serving in an air-base command on the Western Front, Mohn was stationed with an anti-aircraft unit, advancing in rank from private to sergeant, and in 1942 achieving the rank of lieutenant. From France, via Italy, his regiment was moved to Tunisia. On 5 May 1943, Mohn became a U.S. prisoner of war, and in mid-June, he was relocated to the United States, to Camp Concordia, an internment center in Kansas for German prisoners of war. According to Mohn's accounts, he was profoundly influenced by this experience; as one example, he began reading American management literature for the first time.
          >In January 1946, Reinhard Mohn returned to Gütersloh. As his oldest brother, Hans Heinrich Mohn, had already passed on in 1939, and Sigbert Mohn, his second-oldest brother, was still a prisoner of war, he initially opted for an apprenticeship as a bookseller, and later joined his father's business. His father, Heinrich Mohn, as a supporting member of the SS, and due to his financial contributions to other National Socialist organizations, among other issues, had come under the scrutiny of British occupation authorities. In April 1947, he transferred his publishing license to his son Reinhard, who managed the publishing business from then on.

    Spiderman is culturally significant and well-written enough that I can understand why it's a Penguin Classic. But fricking Black Panther and Captain America? Are they just there for the woke pandering?

    • 2 years ago

      Captain America is iconic. Black Panther probably is woke pandering, to avoid criticism, he isn't really mainstream to make them money.
