Story0
When the Great War broke out in August 1914, Thomas Mann, like so many people on both sides of the conflict, was exhilarated. Finally, the era of decadence that he had anatomized in Death in Venice had come to an end; finally, there was a cause worth fighting and even dying for, or, at least when it came to Mann himself, writing about. Mann immediately picked up his pen to compose a paean to the German cause. Soon after, his elder brother and lifelong rival, the novelist Heinrich Mann, responded with a no less determined denunciation.

If youve ever attempted to learn German—or even if you havent—this delightful short essay is sure to tickle your funny bone. Originally published as Appendix D in Twain’s 1880 classic, *A Tramp Abroad*, this comedic treasure humorously navigates the complicated maze of German grammar, from perplexing cases and tricky adjective endings to baffling noun genders and verb placements.

Story0
A German Deserter's War Experience by Anonymous. The author of this 1917 narrative, who escaped from Germany and military service after 14 months of fighting in France, did not wish to have his name made public, fearing reprisals against his relatives. The vivid description of the life of a common German soldier during “The Great War” aroused much interest when it was published in the United States in serial form. Here was a warrior against his will, a hater of militarism for whom there was no romance in war, but only butchery and brutality, grime and vermin, inhuman toil and ...

German Literary History for Beginners

Story0
This book is intended for readers who are looking for an introduction to the confusing diversity of German literature. The chronological order chosen is best suited for this purpose because, in contrast to topic- or genre-oriented ordering procedures, it shows a genesis and traces the genealogy of German literature. The fact that Goethe's novel Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre would most likely have looked completely different without Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen's Simplicissimus can be shown most easily and effectively in the context of a chronologically presented journey through time.

Es gibt viele wichtige Bücher über Feminismus. Aber keine ihrer Autorinnen hat derart viele Leben gelebt wie Melissa Febos: glückliche Kindheit auf Cape Cod, mit zwanzig heroinabhängig, das Studium finanziert als Domina. Heute führt sie ein bürgerliches Leben und unterrichtet an der Universität. In "Girlhood" schließt Melissa Febos Memoir mit Theorie, Soziologie mit Poesie kurz und erkundet die Gemeinsamkeiten aller Lebensphasen. Sie findet beunruhigend eindrückliche Beispiele, wie Frauen von klein auf darauf konditioniert sind, an ihrer eigenen Herabwürdigung mitzuwirken.

Story0
The first genocide of the 20th century, though not well known, was committed by Germans between 1904-1907 in the country we know today as Namibia, where they exterminated thousands of Herero and Nama people and subjected the surviving indigenous men, women, and children to forced labor. The perception of Africans as subhuman - lacking any kind of civilization, history, or meaningful religion - and the resulting justification for the violence against them is what author Elizabeth R. Baer refers to as the "genocidal gaze", an attitude that was later perpetuated by the Nazis.

In seinen frühesten Veröffentlichungen hat Rudolf Steiner den Versuch unternommen, aus den naturwissenschaftlichen Schriften Goethes diejenigen epistemologischen und wissenschaftstheoretischen Prinzipien herauszuarbeiten, die den Goethe'schen Arbeiten auf diesem Feld unausgesprochen zugrunde liegen. Im Lichte der Steiner'schen Deutung erscheinen Goethes Beiträge zur Naturwissenschaft als zukunftweisende Ansätze eines wissenschaftsmethodisch und philosophisch fundierten und zugleich tief spirituellen Zugangs zum Verständnis des Lebendigen.

Wenn sich einer der profiliertesten deutschsprachigen Autoren unserer Zeit mit dem Thema Humor in der Literatur auseinandersetzt, braucht er gute Gründe. Sven Regener hatte sie: Er war 2016 eingeladen, als Inhaber der GrimmProfessur der Universität Kassel eine PoetikVorlesung zu halten und er schlägt sich, seit er Romane veröffentlicht, damit herum, dass diese als witzig, komisch, humorvoll gelten, obwohl sie eigentlich traurige Geschichten erzählen von Leuten, die es im Leben nicht leicht haben und bei denen das Scheitern stets wahrscheinlicher ist als das Gelingen.

Marcel Reich-Ranicki spricht seine Essays selbst. Welche Funktion hat Literaturkritik? An wen wendet sie sich? Was will sie erreichen? Seit mindestens zweihundertfünfzig Jahren werden diese Fragen gestellt und mehr oder weniger erregt debattiert, denn sie treffen ins Zentrum des literarischen Lebens. Marcel Reich-Ranicki, die deutsche Institution der Literaturkritik, hat dazu scharfzüngige, kenntnisreiche und großartig formulierte Essays verfasst.

Karl August Böttiger war Zeitgenosse der großen Dichter und Denker von Weimar – und hielt alles fest, was ihm in die Quere kam: Stimmen und Bilder, Klatsch und Tratsch. Heute würde man Böttiger Züge eines Paparazzos zuschreiben, wenn er etwa über Goethes Häuslichkeit schreibt: "Abends sitzt er in einer wohlgeheizten Stube, eine weiße Fuhrmannsmütze auf dem Kopf, ein Moltumjäckchen und lange Flauschpantalons an." Böttiger machte sich mit seinen Schriften in Weimar so unbeliebt, dass er 1804 die Stadt verlassen musste.
