Hitler's First Hundred Days
The story of how Germans came to embrace the Third Reich.Germany in early 1933 was a country ravaged by years of economic depression and increasingly polarized between the extremes of left and right. Over the spring of that year, Germany was transformed from a republic, albeit a seriously faltering one, into a one-party dictatorship. In Hitler's First Hundred Days, award-winning historian PeterFritzsche examines the pivotal moments during this fateful period in which the Nazis apparently won over the majority of Germans to join them in their project to construct the Third Reich. Fritzsche scrutinizes the events of theperiod - the elections and mass arrests, the bonfires and gunfire, the patriotic rallies and anti-Jewish boycotts - to understand both the terrifying power that the National Socialists came to exert over ordinary Germans and the powerful appeal of the new era that they promised.

Exile, the Writer's Experience
This work is a collection of twenty-four fundamental essays on the many-sided topic of German exile literature during and after Hitler's Third Reich. Exile literature, which emerged in the 1980s as a special field of critical investigation within German Studies, embraced the diverse works of writers who were scattered from Hollywood to Moscow but were related by the common bond of exile from Germany. Leading American and European specialists in the field are contributors to the volume, which discusses the work of Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Hermann Broch and Karl Wolfskehl among others.
Joseph Roth
Der 70. Todestag Joseph Roths ist Anlass, die aktuellen Bezüge seines Werkes zu beleuchten. Seine Texte und Ansichten galten und gelten als allzu vergangenheitsbezogen; sein Hang zur Monarchie wurde belacht, sein Aufruf zum übernationalen Denken als bloße Reaktion auf das Zeitgeschehen interpretiert. Er wurde vor allem als der Erzähler des untergegangenen Habsburgerreichs oder des untergegangenen Ostjudentums gelesen. Heute, in Zeiten des sich einigenden Europas, stellt sich das Bild anders dar: Es befremdet nicht mehr, dass ihm ideologische Bindungen ein zu enges Korsett waren und er sich selbst als Brücke zwischen Osten und Westen wahrnahm. Diese Übernationalität und Interkulturalität in Roths Werk und Leben gilt es zu würdigen.
Stalin und die Intellektuellen und andere Themen
Band 1‒36 im Set erhältlich! Das 1983 begründete interdisziplinäre Jahrbuch Exilforschung widmet sich der Erforschung der Bedingungen, Erscheinungsformen und kulturellen Reflexionen des Exils. Der Begriff, der historisch die Verbannung einzelner meinte, wird programmatisch für die Untersuchung der für das 20. und 21. Jahrhundert charakteristischen Massenvertreibungen verwendet. Damit wird eine Perspektive auf die Besonderheiten der Zwangsmigration, ihrer Erfahrungsdimensionen und kulturellen Artikulationen eingenommen. Das Kernthema Flucht und Exil infolge der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur wird mit der Erforschung anderer, auch gegenwärtiger Exile verbunden. Indem das historische ...
The Quest for Redemption
The Quest for Redemption: Central European Jewish Thought in Joseph Roth's Works by Rares Piloiu fills an important gap in Roth scholarship, placing Roth's major works of fiction for the first time in the context of a generational interest in religious redemption among the Jewish intellectuals of Central Europe. In it, Piloiu argues that Roth's challenging, often contradictory and ambivalent literary output is the result of an attempt to recast moral, political, and historical realities of an empirically observable world in a new, religiously transfigured reality through the medium of literature. This diegetic recasting of phenomenological encounters with the real is an expression of Roth's ...
House of Exile
In 1933 the writer and political activist Heinrich Mann, meticulously dressed in a suit, starched collar and bow tie, escaped from Germany carrying nothing more than an umbrella and a briefcase filled with manuscripts. Soon, he knew, the Nazis would come for him. He never saw his homeland again. Evelyn Juers' extraordinary book is a unique imagining of the unconventional love affair between Heinrich Mann and Nelly Kroeger – a tall, blonde ex-barmaid twenty-seven years his junior – recounting their flight to France and then to Los Angeles, as Europe descended into barbarism. In House of Exile their story is intricately interwoven with others from their circle of friends, relatives and lit...
