That is, the expressing the messages of our prospective creations by direct acting, by establishments, foundations, service groups of those types that present our ideas both structured and tinged ways and even crystallize them by their everyday acts, like writers make this when carefully work out novels or poems. SUBJECT of this book: Activities in accordance with our author's movement called WRITE AND ACT.
PROMOTION 1 (Pompton Lakes, NJ. Globe P. House 2010.) ISBN 978-963-88609-1-0. MOTTO of this book: Rather hard to accept that the evolution process can make anything with people, animals and plants. Hard to accept that it produces millions of monstrous creatures tearing to pieces and gobbling up each other. The Entire Living World is spoiled! People, animals, everything. But why let the human fate, and the fate of the entire living world to be dictated by the evolution process? We, the humans have to determine all the biological functions, all the organs, even each single cell!... SUBJECT of this book: Changing the Living World.

IF YOU NEED SO, PLEASE SEE HERE THE OEUVRE'S ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY, FILMOGRAPHY & MUSICOGRAPHY Here the Team of zoltandemmeworks.net indicates and annotates only the following items from the author’s books, librettos, scripts and other writings:
(For more information about the movies and music compositions please see

PRINTED PUBLICATIONS - COLLECTED WORKS - STUDIES, ESSAYS, FICTIONS
1. CHORDS OF SCALES (Essays, fictions, and studies) See the publicaton data above, under the title MICROCOSMOS (and titles Arpeggio, Mikrokozmosz).
ARTS & CRAFTS 2. PROGRAMME ONE (Write and Act movement). See the text, and the printing and publication data above. As exposed on the cover sheet of the book: „We know, that the influence of novels and poems are weakened in our century. Therefore, beside traditional ways of writing, it is reasonable to open an additional creative path to influence events around us. That is, the expressing the messages of our prospective creations by direct acting, by establishments, foundations, nonprofit groups of those types that present our ideas both structured and tinged ways and even crystallize them by their everyday acts.” As a consequence, probably first time in the history of the literature, the day-by-day activities of nonprofit groups (that are introduced here) purpoted to have aesthetic values precisely by that way they work. For example, in the daily activitiy of these nonprofit enterprises continously we can spot such regular and traditional aesthetic qualities as composition, imagery, atmosphere, invention, expressivity, rhythm, playfulness, emotional and rational content, varied structures, etc., like in any real poem or novel. Classic aesthetic characteristics such as the beautiful, the charming, the intimate, the sublime, the bizarre, the comic, the playful, the grotesque, the misshapen, the ugly, are also present like in the poems and novels, and there are many other ways to continue this comparison...Otherwise the book contents only the documentary materials of the above groups with no personal comments of the author. Collaborators were Norman Mailer, Valery Giscard d’Estaing, Willy Brandt, Edward Teller, Friedriech Dürrenmatt, Gorbacsev, Andrew Webber, and other internationally reputated personalities. This book is devided to three units such as Program, Activities, and Appendix. The chapter Activities also divided to varied subchapters such as Starvation, Exploitation, Terrorism, Mass Manipulations, etc. Finally, let to mention that we have to always see the extraordinary humane background of the activities of the author also. FIRST, lots of things he sacrificed from the comforted and normal life for the results of these projects, e.g. as a young immigrant he worked hard as a sheetrock worker then as a buiding contractor to collect own funds for initiating his program. SECOND, he always accomponied his projects with humanitarian side activities. For instance, his organization, the Zoltan Foundation, gave 2,3,6 months long United States scholarships to university students of varied countries with full accomodations and meal. THIRD, as part of the WRITE AND ACT movement that is always avoiding the individual merits, he extended the common work while projecting, and he found professional co-workers even in the very abstract fields of the philosophy and anthropology: co-workers, who,for instance, placed in this book valuable own articles as additons to the author’s studies. 3. PROGRAMME TWO (Write and Act movement). See the text, and the printing and publication data above. This book is a parergon of the Programme One book, the previous one. It contents documentary materials only, with no personal comments of the author. Collaborators were Yehudi Menuhin, Václav Havel, Michelangelo Antonioni, Bohumir Hrabal, and other internationally reputated personalities. This book is devided to three units such as Program, Activities, and Appendix. The chapter Activities also divided to varied subchapters such as Artistry, Morality, Beauty, Erudition, Charity, Connection, and Memory. The day-by-day activities of the nonprofit groups that are present in this volume purpoted to have aesthetic values as part of the author’s Write and Act movement, and, here even the printing outlook and the printing resolutions of many details have aesthetic uniqeness also. Let to cite the author’s sentences that tell us how this volume was born: „Programme One [the previous book] faced solely absurdities. When hardworking on, being tired to bone we gathered with colleagues each night in our watershore office. Outside the night was glamorous, with myriad of stars on the sky, on the water surface, with gentle grass everywhere on ground. In these mild evenings an idea emerged among us, a plan of initiating a new program, a supplemental one, and we meditated on as a relaxation...... Programme Two faces [now not the absurd, but the] the humanized segments of our world. Crystallization, this is what this program primarily seeks. Crystallization of humanized values. Crystallization of huma¬nizing methods and procedures. Crystallizing toward a lovely and matured world” Finally, as an example, let to cite the text of one of the book's movement, the program of THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF DIONYSIAS: "The Modern Olympic Games have renewed the ancient traditions of the antique Greek sport competitions, and now they are able to serve the ideal of the human excellence, the friendship of the nations and the peace of the entire world. The games of the Modern Dionysias wish to renew the ancient traditions of the antique Greek cultural competitions and celebrations and desire to serve exactly the same values. The International Committee of Dionysias has the bases to organize worldwide cultural competitions and celebrations. There were and are even today excellent cultural competitions on every continent, contests of performers such as singers, dancers, music soloists, conductors, choirs and ansembles, or contests of creators as designers, sculpturers, painters, composers as well. We are ready to integrate these events every four years between the Olympics following faithfully the traditions of the antique Dionysias. We hope that in mediterranean spring on the downhill of the Acropolis in Athens, many colourful small strips will rise up to the sky as in the very ancient past. After this the traditionally first competitors, the choirs can start to sing a gain, demonstrating the indestructibility of the evergreen ideas and eternal values of the Man." Let to make a note that the Dionysias project is under discussion with politicians of many nations at recent, and its practical local details is disputed with the Greek authorities, also at recent. 4. PROMOTION ONE (Visualize and Act movement). See the text, and the printing and publication data above. The book contains documentary materials only (the papers and records of the author’s movie shootings and of many side activities of him) with no personal comments. It is devided to three units such as Program, Activities, and Appendix. In the Activities chapter, among others, we find the scripts of two fictions films of the author under the titles of Promised Land and Cryptograms. When compiling this book, the author was already over of his Programme One, Programme Two books, and of the philosophical problems detailed there (struggles with the absurdities of the human status, and struggles with the absurdities of the human being itself) : and he found no resolution on those issues. Thus, he made his next step by this book revealing the next essential problems of the author’s philosophy: Is it any chance to change both the living and non-living world to quite new, not-an-absurd-but-humanized- 5. PROMOTION TWO (Visualize and Act movement). See the text above - and the printig data too above at the title MACROCOSMOS (and Makrokozmosz, Decrescendo). This book was born as a parergon of the volume Promotion One. It is devided to three units such as Program, Activities, and Appendix. The book contents documentary materials only (the papers of the author’s composing activities, scores of some of his operas, ballets, some sketches, etc.) Since Promotion One book did searching for the chances and ways to change the living and non-living world to better ones for the far future, now Promotion Two book focuses the present. As the author stated: "For radical changes Promotion Two seeks also. For radical changes in our eastern and western societies and social life. For radical changes in our common activities. For radical turns towards those kind of lovely and matured values that could be valid even in an entirely changed living and non-living world." Let to cite again the author’s sentences that tell us how this volume was born: „While we were hardworking to finish those films [that are present in the Promotion One program] bone tired we stepped out from the editing room with collaborators almost each night, and we needed some relaxation. In those demanding days, for myself, the music provided the best recreation and rest. However, still being full with ideas and emotions, those nights I was not able to enjoy music passive way. I felt myself better when composing something instead of the passive pleasure. And, as the days, months, and years passed, as a parergon of the primal activity, operas and ballets were born in the calmness of the music room.” Finally, as an example, let to place here one of the (briefly summarized) messages of his operas, this time from a Noh opera, titled Malaqi Buddha: We have basic human rights, e.g. right of freedom, right of religion, right of assembly, right of free speech. But we need one more basic human right abbreviated as R.F.A., that means Right to Food and Accommodation of each human individual. 6. OTHER CHORDS OF SCALES (Architecture and natural sciences) See the text (and the printing and publication data) above, under the title MACROCOSMOS. HORTICULTURE As an architect and landscaper Zoltan Demme has horticultural claims also (e.g., in New Jersey’s elite neighborhoods). From these, the revival of the ’flower and scent clocks’ of the baroque era is presented here. Certain flowers bloom in different dayparts, giving off a scent that people can consider as a time signal: this type of plan he had worked out to the Indiana West Baden Spring Hotel’s gigantic hall. However, he was unsatisfied since, according to the plan, a given flower’s scent must be fully vacuumed from the gigantic hall to the time-section of the next flower-blooming. And the flower’s scent would unevenly cover the hall... Otherwise, Zoltan Demme thought of landscaping always with prehumanized-humanized- LANDSCAPE DESIGN Winter in landscaping is a constant problem, since it is flowerless and desolate. For his customers, Zoltan Demme selected trees, bushes and grasses that give off a refreshing scent and outlook even when they dry out. However, his landscape architecture means much more than clever creativeness; he always keeps handling his designs by the prehumanized-humanized- GENERAL BUILDING DESIGN Zoltan Demme was a construction worker after arriving to the United States as a refugee. This is what his interest in private and office construction comes from. This, too, is the basis of his realisation that the parking houses’ usual square or oval shapes are not ideal, and that it is much better to use the hexagonal shapes of honeycombs instead. He studied dozens of bee constructions, then designed such parking houses that should be built up on honeycomb shapes, offering far more economic and lot-wise resolutions than others. But his main principle - the prehumanized–humanized- URBAN ARCHITECTURE Why do we have to place stadiums onto the ground? According to Zoltan Demme, this is not a must. Especially not in the crowded metropolises full of skyscrapers, where the airspace is more accommodating and economic for this goal and gives even more impressive experiences to the visitors and local people. Probably, this is the most interesting idea of him in the field of urban architecture. And the progression of technology would even allow the realisation of this idea today. However, the architect does not stop at this point. He tries to validate his basic principle too (going from the ’prehumanized’ legacy and moving to the ’posthumanized’ resolutions), that could yet again be brought into reality by accommodating the thousands of people who fill the stadium in such places where the rules of nature are partially blocked and substituted by human-created, new, more convenient rules, for instance, in cafes, fast food places, bathrooms, toilets, etc. (Pics in the above linked book). HUMANOLOGY Struggling against the Absurdities of the Human Existence This study is cited from the above Chords of Scales book purpoted to demonstrate the author's steps against the absurdities of the world, more precisely, from his steps the first one, that struggles with the absurdities of the human status. (See our short annotatation above). The next two steps will be the struggle with the absurdities of the human being, then the struggle with the absurdities of the Universe. (See the annotations below, next chapters). APPENDIX. HUMAN BIOLOGY & PATHOLOGY Roulette (a play with music and attractions in 3 acts) This work is cited from the above Chords of Scales book purpoted to demonstrate the author's steps against the absurdities of the world, more precisely, from his steps the second one, that struggles with the absurdities of the human being. (See our short annotatation above). The next step will be the struggle with the absurdities of the Universe. (See the annotations below, next chapters). APPENDIX.
MICROPHYSICS & MICROCHEMISTRY Nonsense Attributes in the Subatomic World This study is a result of the extended research activities of the author in the fields of the natural sciences. Being interested in the microcosmos of the material world, right after his cytological and cytochemical research he started to thoroughly investigate some strange events and phenomena in microphysics and physics. This research of him was fruitful, even with some amazing results. Especially this study (from the field of quantum mechanics) in which, for the first time, he expresses his doubts on the fluent, universal and uniform validity of the general rules of nature in the entirety of the Universe. APPENDIX. COSMOGONY & COSMOLOGY The Absurd Origin of the Universe This voluminous study is a kind of synthesis of the author’s research in the varied fields of the natural sciences. At the time of writing this study, his thorough investigations of cytological, cytochemical, microphysical and other events and phenomena have already brought up many results (among others, the ’truth value equation’ or the ’x-modulus’ could be mentioned). Now, uniting all of the contemporary knowledge of the humanities and natural sciences, he tries, in this study, to find the answer to one of the biggest problems of the humankind: how was the Universe born? APPENDIX. APPLIED METAPHYSICS The State of the Humanization in Our Age This essay is a consequence of the author’s almost thirty-year-long research activities (both in the area of the humanities and of the natural sciences) that are mostly related to the absurd events and phenomena of the human biological being, human life, and even of the Universe. However, this sample presents only one example from his extensive work in the field of applied metaphysics. It focuses on a very strange but, in our age, more and more actual problem: is there any chance to change the living and non-living world (that are full with absurdities) to quite new and fully humanized ones? If yes, what path do we ought to go on? APPENDIX. THNETOSOPHY The Basic Postulates of the Thnetosophy What does Thnetosophy mean? The word derives from Greek roots meaning ’the knowledge of the world of the thnetos (the mortal human being)’. Greek roots: θνητός (mortal human being) σοφία (knowledge). The term thnetosophy separates mortal humans from future humans who reach immortality in far futurity. Thnetosophy considers us, mortal humans, as progenitors of the future humans... Otherwise the ancestor of Thnetosophy is Humanology (and, earlier, Life Philosophy or Philosophy of Human Life). However, this discipline of philosophy, Humanology, was not widely known among people, while the term ’humanology’ was too-widely used to label varied ideologies and even unscientific systems of views. Also, this discipline, Humanology, does not declare clearly and with necessary precision that its theses relate only to mortal humans, and not to the post-human beings with eternal life. Thus, the author, in his latest works, stops using the term ’humanology’ and applies the term ’thnetosophy’ instead. The basic postulates of the thnetosophy fairly reflect the essence of this discipline. (See them above, MACROCOSMOS chapter). APPENDIX. PRINTED PUBLICATIONS - SOLO BOOKS - STUDIES, ESSAYS, FICTIONS

DEMME BREVIARY See text, printing data, and the noted names of editors above. The purpose of these noted personalities is to take a glance back to the huge oeuvre of the author, and, to present in one volume that what surpluses this oeuvre gives us: any bright and rare values, that are shown in every relevant detail in this breviary. However, the prime surplus regards the essence of the recent mankind, the naming of the ancient and contempory human being as thnetos, and the statement that all we are just simply thnetoses (mortal people) and not the future, more developed, real humans. As the prime character in the author’s Promised Land movie says, ’Only pre-humans we are! Not the humans that follow us on earth! We pre-humans admire nature, respect evolution without realizing what an incredible monster it is!... Humans! They differ from us progenitors. They dictate to the evolution. They determine the character of the animals and plants. And themselves and their descendants they form as they like. They reach immortality even, with the perpetual change of organs, and many other ways. Learning how to save the soul and the mind in the meantime ... The world of the mortal people, the world of the thnetos as it is called, then ends.’ According to this, we thnetoses have a tragic position. We all are victims of the evolution, and are simple puppets of many physical rules of cosmic and universal events. Thus, a better life is due to us poor mortal victims. We have to turn against the evolutional process and universal physical rules for our own rightful sake even now, as our author suggests in his many above short and full-length movies. ’Few decades followed 2000 AD; an essentially New World thnetoses create. Until that time they had to comply with all rules of the nature. But this time they develop closed artificial worlds in space by their own rules, independent of nature, independent of the Universe. If desired, the stone falls down at a slower or faster speed than before in these closed space colonies. If desired, we can create modified plants and animals in these artificial colonies. And at the end, we let the Universe circulate or move around itself, separate from us.’ As outlined by these details, this is the oeuvre’s prime surplus: the separation from the cosmic, universal and evolutionary rules. The author was the first who placed into the circle of many valid scientific, cultural, social and private purposes this new, very valid and rightful purpose for us. Literature THREE DRAMAS See the text, and the printing data above. Content: Carlsbad, Opium, Roulette. The first two dramas prime impulses are that the state of the humankind, the human existence, and the things connecting to many peoples fates produce an unstoppable absurdity. We can start off from the everyday people knowledge, can start off from a higher knowledge of humans, or from transcendent or to the humans outright unreachable circles: the absurdity taints our efforts one way or the other and even questions all of them. Thus, in the third drama, the author thoroughly examines the possibilities of transformation of the absurd fated human to a being that is free of absurd fate and features, to an entirely new living being. He creates a rich environment for this: the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy’s millionaires leisure centers are the environment of the story, where biological research are continued to form a new human being, that is free from absurdity (that hundred years ago was a real and financially well funded attempt). However it doesn't matter with how visual, grand and circus-like showcases in this drammatic show, with how rich symphonic music and nice pictures of the stage are shown all this, his work’s end result is saddening: this goal’s realistic outcome is obviously impossible by us. We have to find other ways to free us from the absurdity of the world, as the author tries this in his other, later works (e.g. Other Chords of Scales, above). AROUND THE GLOBE Published as ZIGZAG RUSHING AROUND THE GLOBE WHILE SMELLING LIKE LEMON. See the text and the printing data above. The author also went on unique travel adventures. The hippie lifestyle and traveling around the globe, the arriving to new places each single day, the fast life speed, the millennial western generation’s new sense: he is a living example of. His then lifestyle and the writings based on, made him to be the one who continued the beatnik literature, Kerouac and Ginsberg. Quite new life feeling was born from traveling around the globe and from the unusual appearance of fast sensations. He presents that same day you can taste the bitter water of the early morning Baltic Sea, the orange dust of the Israel deserts in the midday sunshine, and the mild rain of the Johannesburg nights, while showing that the changing of the distant places in an extremely sudden way means much more than an ecstatic impression, that there are hidden contents that only this way you can recognize, that there are secrets that can not be unfolded in another manner.

CHARACTERS: Her Grace Majesty Evolution as an ostrich, Bobby Big Bang lieutenant general, Tobias Death general, and others. LOCATION: Ruined Church, Italy, Europe. Around 1810 A.D. Age of the Napoleon wars. Running time approximately 1 hour 40 minutes, plus, one intermission. In this dark comedy, two tyrants and their two panders dictate the laws of nature and decide the fate of the living beings. These individuals include Johnny Bing Bang, lieutenant general; Her Majesty The Evolution (appearing as an ostrich); His Excellence Tobias Death, the general; and Her Excellence Amalie The Devastating, the eternal queen of sicknesses. The story occurs in a ruined church building where, day after day, embodied tyrants have banquets with rich meals consisting of varied living beings and properly cooked human beings. Again and again, their banquets are interrupted by Basilius the alchemist. Basilius has considerable knowledge about the evolutional and genetic views of Lamarck and Augustinus. With his colleagues, he works for an entirely new world that is planned to be independent of the recent natural rules of the living and non-living world. He represents humanity and the scientists who want to fight against the dictators of nature and the Universe. The sarcastic conflict between Basilius and the tyrants takes the stage most of the time. Basilius shows the tyrants the models of the new world, in which people will be able to free themselves from tyranny. The tyrants look down on him, laughing and stating that the models won’t work. Then arrives the older-than-old, doting Quintus Leopoldus, the Cardinal and State Representative who is the first person of Leopoldia State. He misunderstands everything: he believes that Basilius has befriended the devil tyrants, and that he has turned against humanity and human interests. Thus, in the name of the Holy Mother Church and the State Authorities, Leopoldus kills the scientist with the help of his corrupt and hypocritical friar servants. The play is shocking; however, the audience can still laugh many times as they follow the story. SUPREME GOD (Subtitle: JUAN!...JUAAAAAN!!!) Dark Comedy, 2 acts. CHARACTERS: Qal, the Supreme God himself. Juan, poor mortal. Running time 1 hour 40 minutes, plus, one intermission. ACT 1: Russia. Seventeenth century. Church with bulbous domes in the backstage, right side. Piggery in the downstage, left side. From the piggery just a small segment is visible. The piggery is an old, ruined, miserly place. A pig-pail stands ahead of it. From the backstage, Qal, the Supreme God is bound here. Qal is taller than the humans. Golem his outlook recalls. Qal's disgusting body covered with many ugly warts and with red and green, shiny cavities. Qal as stupid as no one in our world. He has a bass voice and continually grunts and murmurs. ACT 2 : We are in the Caucasus Mountain in the 20th century. Evening time. Snow covered peak in the backstage, right side. Sheepcote in the downstage, left side. From the sheepcote just a segment is visible. It is an old and miserly place. It has a waist-high roof covered with dirty sheep skin and shit. In the stage few little lambs and six sheeps we see. Actually the six sheeps are six men who wear sheep wool-coats and sleep on the ground. The lambs sometimes move to and fro. In front of the sheepcote round shape white cheese and swiss cheese pieces are visible covered with shit. A wood pail stands ahead of them with fresh cottage cheese inside. From the backstage, Qal is bound here......This play is an extremely provocative and potentially highly offensive (to certain viewers, particularly religious ones). It is an interaction between Juan - a highly intelligent person living in terrible conditions - and the Supreme God himself, who is treated rather harshly by the writer and showcased as an unintelligent, annoying, morally corrupt and narcissistically evil entity. Every interaction between the two is interesting. Juan’s disrespects God, who created everything fully unintelligent and erroneous way. (Excerpts: see above) SQUALOR (Subtitle: sfgahjkkklg qtkjfdkjj) Dark Comedy, 2 acts. LOCATION: A small South-American tropical town in squalor, nowadays. Running time 2 hours 10 minutes, plus, one intermission. Kid gangs sit in a courtroom. No father, no mother, no relatives small kids, because of the civil war in the country. Sole help for the kids to eat and stay alive the shoplifting is, from this reason they are in the courtroom now. The judges of them are real but first of all symbolic persons. Oliviere da Silva, the leader of the city soldiers, symbolizes Communism. Don Pepe, the leader of the local mine owners, symbolizes Capitalism, while Reverend Buchelar, the vicar of the town, symbolizes the institutions of the Religion. Brian, the young English man acts as defence attorney in the play, stating related to the kids: 'Defendants, you said? Who are they?? These miserable parentless children?? They did the wars?? They killed their fathers and mothers??!... No!! You did this, Papa Commander; you, Pharisaic Vicar; you, Kitish Financer, who act now as judges! You have to be the defendants!! Because of you these children must shoplift!!’…… During the court trial Brian lists the crimes that Communism, Capitalism and Religions have committed in the history and in the present time. Finally, he throws these persons of the courtroom with loud agreement from the people. But there is no hope, as this sarcastic dark comedy presents. Oliviere da Silva, Don Pepe and Reverend Buchelar will come back soon, and they will again rule the courtroom and the life of the people outside. The play is extremely provocative, very creatively written, and equally full of deep thought and many chances to laugh. (Excerpts: see above) EGO One man show, 2 acts. PRINCIPAL CHARACTER: Ego. Running time 1 hour 30 minutes. LOCATION: Golgotha, Jerusalem. On the Calvary Hill a Memorial Park we see. It is under construction at recent. In the middle, a GIGANTIC MONUMENT OF EGO is built up, but it is covered, and will be covered during the play with dark protection canvas. Other monuments all around, also covered and will be covered with dark protection canvases. EGO arrives. EGO is a giant monster. He is higher than the humans and looks like a puppet. A large fancy-dress he wears. Large fancy-dress like a big helmet fully covers his face, his head, his back, his chest, and it ends at his stomach. Giant, helmet-like fancy-dress has a solid structure, with an actor inside, who carries the structure on his shoulders. On the top of the fancy-dress the Giant Head of EGO we see. Like Gods, the head of EGO has only one eye. It too has an opened mouth, with vampire teeth to suck blood, with shark teeth to destroy living beings, and with rounded pig teeth for gobbling. Chest and back of the fancy-dress with dragon flakes are covered. EGO has a bass voice and grunts sometimes like a hog. The EGO PUPPET two different persons embodies and unites in this play. EGO 1, the fancy-dressed monster acts as principal character. But he has a closed window on his chest, and he pulls off and on the window cover sometimes. A human face becomes visible each occasion when window cover pulled off. This is the face of the actor, who carries the fancy-dress structure on his shoulders. This is the face of EGO 2, the second character. EGO 2 hates the fancy-dressed hog. He is intelligent, educated, and smart…… This monodrama is a provocative and potentially offensive comedic critique and showcase of the worst parts of the nature of humanity, the human mind, and also past and current societies. The two characters (in one), and their interactions, are many times hilarious, and the play has heavy sarcasm and irony.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
History has two types of creative personalities. First, the specialist, who produced remarkable values and crystallized qualities as a result of a very closed concentration to one particular sphere only. Second, the polyhistor, who produced remarkable values and crystallized qualities as a consequence of rainbow scale activites, of interpenetrated applications of varied scientific and artistic experiences. Zoltan Demme belongs to this group. HOWEVER, WHY IS THIS AUTHOR FULLY DIFFERENT FROM MANY OF HIS COLLEAGUES? The difference is that this author does not accommodate many of the needs of daily life, as well as the daily events in the culture. For decades he has not obeyed the regulations of public institutions, or the expectations of readers and audiences. Instead of gaining success, he is interested in solving problems. He is also different in that regardless of anything he touches, he is always excited by reaching the actual boundaries of knowledge. He researched for decades the wisest men in history from the ancient times to modern times, and he also researched the answers they gave on the most important questions about human existence, and the current final knowledge of mankind about these most important problems as of now, and then, from the basis of his investigations he wrote belletristic works and scientific studies, directed movie films, composed operas and so on. At the same time he wandered around the globe too, with traveling pals from the most diverse groups of people - from the company of diplomats to homeless people. However, anywhere he went, he also tried to experience the world from a bottom view; he was a handy blue-collar worker many times. We could list further the examples of his adherence to the boundaries of human knowledge; exempli gratia, he does not finalize any of his belletristic works, scientific essays, reseraches in the fields of the natural sciences, architectural plans, travelogues, feature films, operas or musical compositions until the given topic’s leading experts throughout the world examine and criticize it thoroughly. He also differs from many contemporaries in the fact that he tries to solve the examined problems even in everyday practical life through organizations and groups he has established. However, aside from these institutions that are intended to expand toward the practicability of his works, he does not take part in any group activities, avoids the media, never gives an interview to anyone, and only allows himself to be heard through his works alone. WHAT IS THE BASIC PATH OF THE VAST DIVERSITY OF HIS WORKS? The facing the most difficult questions about our existence, and the countless minor societal consequences of them. This facing is presented by a wide collection of creative works in four large parts. 1.We are creatures that are exposed to the passing of time, death and bodily needs. All of these factors we are unable to humanize (put under the rule of mankind instead of the rules of nature); our fates are therefore absurd, according to many important thinkers. The humanization of the entirety of existence, and the humanization of the life of our being and its chances, were examined by the author in his first collection of works in very varied fields, with a saddening end result. (volume Arpeggio, or, in English, Chords of Scales) 2. Because humankind has not enough power and means to humanize the entirety of existence and the life of its being, the author thoroughly examines the possibilities of transformation of the absurd-fated human to a being that is free of absurd fate and features - to an entirely new living being. This set of problems, which has appeared again and again in our civilization since ancient times till now, is examined by the author through the second collection of his works in many fields, yet again with the saddening conclusion that there are no chances. (volume Microcosmos, or, in English, Chords of Scales) 3. In the central opuses of the collection of his natural science essays and studies (volume Macrocosmos, or, in English, Other Chords of Scales), a suspicion arises on whether the entire living and nonliving world would work and operate in an erroneous way. The spoiled character of lifeless material, and of plants, animals and people, is brought into the light there, summing that maybe the entire world is improperly evolved, and that people have, again, no chance to be free from the absurdities. 4. The author tries to find a way out even from the absurdity of the human fate that is left unsolved, and also from the absurdity of the entire world, in the fourth collection of his works (volume Decrescendo, or, in English, Other Chords of Scales). Examination of probabilities is weighed in the central opuses of it, on how the living and nonliving world - and humankind itself - could work based on those rules that would be made by mankind and which would be mostly different from the basic rules of nature - e.g, in such places that are isolated in the Universe (space stations, space colonies, or isolated segments on earth), and that would work solely by such rules that we as people create. For sure, compared to our theoretical summary, the belletristic and dramatic works of the author, and his movies or opera and ballet compositions, this is played out in a much more life-like way. WHAT SLOGANS AND MOVEMENTS ARE BASED ON THE ABOVE WORKS? ’Toward a New World’ (TNW): This key phrase characterizes all the works of the author in the previously mentioned four main groups. In the case of his films, dramas, ballets and many other creations, the author prints this key phrase even onto the cover of their publications. Practicality seems even more important for him, as he feels that artistic creation today is not enough to reach a better work; it need extensions. His Write and Act movement, and his Visualize and Act movement is based on this purpose.
