Kaisergemse (German, literally meaning 'imperial chamois') is an autobiographical novella based on a scrupulously honest true story. Richly illustrated with authentic photographs, it details the first 22 years of the Author's life while sharing a rather unique mountain-climbing experience in Central Austria, where he was vacationing with his ageing parents in August, 1986. Following the 1956 Hungarian rebellion, the Author was jailed at age 14 for anticommunist 'crimes', and thus became the youngest political prisoner in the history of Hungary. At age 20 he escaped to Italy via Yugoslavia, and thus broke through the Iron Curtain. After another series of improbable 'adventures', he was granted political asylum in West-Germany, yet as soon as he could, he took up residence in Miami, Florida. However, because of the Vietnam war and likely draft, he ended up settling in Canada. This is an original literary work written in April 1987, first published in September, 2007.

This pilot study (same as "Weltwesen") followed the method of Euclid's "Elements", using 36 Definitions, one single Axiom, 3 Postulates, and their substantiation with analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, and some representative literature from philosophy, logic, mathematics, physics, biology, and psychology in order to discuss the nature, structure, function, and human as well as nonhuman relevance of the Absolute beyond the 'limits' of the Universe. This interdisciplinary approach resulted in the conclusion that Ultimate Reality is the Absolute, which is the 'source and sink' of all Apparent or Virtual Reality. Having met the required criteria, this tentative theory may be called: "Absolute Relativity and the Relativity of the Absolute".

"Blumenstand" (German for Flowers-stand") is an almost comprehensive collection of the Author's nonscientific essays and miscellaneous writings covering a period of more than thirty-five years. The articles touch upon a great variety of both academic and non-academic topics from anthropology to sociology, from psychology to philosophy, from history to music, from literature to politics and political science, from religion to morality, from chess- playing to dart-playing, from horseracing and travel to whisky-distilling, etc. For the sake of levity, even some jokes and humorous anecdotes are included. However, there is no unifying theme as such, and neither the collection nor its presentation has any particular sequence or structure. The book is richly illustrated, as per topic relevance. It is sincerely hoped that this modest anthology will serve both informative and entertaining purposes. This is a recently completed original literary work, first published in December 2007. and re-published in July 2019.

This is a pseudoplay (the kind meant to be read, not seen on stage or screen) about the nature of Evil. The play begins with the real-live crucifixion of the main protagonist on Mount Zion in present-day Jerusalem and continues with five flashbacks in five Acts, examining Evil by means of the thoughts, actions and personality clashes of the various characters. The plot intensifies throughout the Acts, first with a crescendo at the end of Act One, then with another at the end of Act Three, and then with a final crescendo at the end of Act Five. The climax leads directly to the crucifixion scene in the Prologue. Finally, a resolution of the main problem is provided in the Epilogue, and it is shown how Evil may be harnessed and made to serve Good. The play thus ends on a note of hope and cautious optimism but without underestimating the power of Evil. It was written in December 1986, completed in March, 1987, and published for the first time in August, 2007, for the second in January, 2018.

"Erwartungen"("Expectations")looks at the future using the star-ship Helios, commanded by Captain Genie Eos, in order to evaluate the expected evolution of Mirism, the ideology of Cosmic Man. The time-travel will be spiced with some humorous dialogues and sexy episodes, and major points of Mirism will be explained, depending on specific details. This final volume of the science-fiction trilogy is mostly concerned with the expectations, projections, and wishful thinking of a slowly dying man, Dr. Mir, both in the present and in the future. He is accompanied by his ever-faithful Genie, his beautiful (android) Swedish nurse, and ravishingly attractive Arab doctor, Halima Albari' whom he marries, and they have a son. She and Genie saved his life repeatedly, helped him to attain maximum possible contentment; but ultimately, they could not prolong his life. After he passed away, he was secretly cremated and his ashes were scattered in the gardens of the hospital where he was born.

The first volume glances at conscientious behaviour falsified by the deceptive Nyxie, 'temptress' of short-term gratifications throughout the life of the main 'actor', Dr. Dross narrated from the subjective point of view, when good but passive, conscience is easily suppressed. The story unfolds in the first person, until a near-fatal existential depression, before Genie, his real protagonist, intervenes, and suppresses Nyxie, his real antagonist. The second volume, looks at conscientious behaviour under the pressures of expediency in an idealized version of the main events, from the intervention of Genie onward when active conscience turns a loser into a winner. The story moves out of personal contexts and gradually includes other 'actors' beside the main protagonists, now Dr. Mir and his Genie. The question is to what extent is conscientious psychology private, as contrasted with collective or public behaviour. The question of whether there are any rules or laws of conscientious behaviour is dealt with.

"Ehrenwort" (German for "word of honour") is a pseudoplay (the kind meant to be read, not seen on stage or screen) about the fatal clash between two brothers near the end of World War II. Franz, the older brother, is an angelically good doctor in the Wehrmacht, the German Regular Army; but his younger brother Rolf is a fanatically Nazi evil maniac, engineer, and Captain in the Waffen-SS. Caught in the middle is positive reality, represented by Maria, the wife of Franz; and two Russian officers, a senior Commander, and his junior adjutant. The characters and the plot are deliberately exaggerated and melodramatic in order to bring many historical, intellectual, and moral dilemmas into sharper focus; for example what genuine nobility is all about, why did Germany follow Hitler, how could the Holocaust take place, who was responsible for what, who was guilty of what, and so on. This is an original literary work written in 1984, published for the first time in 2007; revised in 2018.

"Judenwelt" (German, lit. "Jew-world") is intended to complete Herzl's "Judenstaat" by filling the political framework with moral perfectionism. The Jewish people have earned the right to prove to the world that they have not lived lies in the guise of illusions-delusions; but they are the Chosen people for serving God and teaching righteousness in benevolent ways. The newly introduced term "Mirism" (Russian: both "world" and "peace") is intended to become the ideology of Cosmic Man, whose moral maturation would be ensured by relevant education; and Jews will finally fulfill their original 'mission' of becoming Light unto the Nations, a 'holy' nation of Priests and teachers, devoted to the pursuit of moral excellence without extraneous rituals or traditions. Jewishness should be earned, not inherited; and proper education should finally result in world peace and fraternity, with which then Man could advance into the Cosmic Era and a prosperous future.
