(According to hard- and software changes in the last decade, the interactive multimedia CD-ROM is running on Win10, but the solution of the pictures had to be very low at that time
due to missing storage capacity. In the moment I am working on publishing the content of the CD on webpages in html; the same will happen with two other CD-ROMs about Dance and
Jataka-Tales in Sri Lanka)

the books of Jan and Aleida Assmann, an academic couple, who got The Peace Prize Of The German Book Trade in 2018.
