März 1933: Die freie Welt steht am Abgrund. Während die Nazis ihre Gegner brutal verfolgen, steckt Amerika tief in der Krise. Und doch sind die USA Zufluchtsort – für Albert Einstein, den die Nazis mit einem Kopfgeld jagen; für George Grosz, der von Amerika aus um seine Söhne in Berlin bangt. Marlene Dietrich wird in Hollywood von Goebbels umworben. Die First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt liebt derweil eine Frau und versucht verzweifelt, mehr jüdische Flüchtlinge ins Land zu holen.

St Basil's homilies on the subject of wealth and poverty, although delivered in the fourth century, remain utterly fresh and contemporary. Whether you possess great wealth or have modest means, at the heart of St Basil's message stands the maxim: Simplify your life, so you have something to share with others. While some patristic texts relate to obscure and highly philosophical questions, St Basil's teachings on social issues are immediately understood and applicable.
