Errors of Young Tjaz

With its echoes of fellow Austrian novelist Robert Musil's novella Young Törless, and of Günter Grass’s The Tin Drum, Florjan Lipuš's Young Tjaž, first published in 1972, helped moved the critique of Germanic Europe's fundamental social conformity into the postwar age. But Lipuš, a member of the Slovene ethnic minority indigenous to Austria's southernmost province of Carinthia, wrote his novel in Slovene and aimed it not just at Austrian society's hidebound clericalism, but also at its intolerance of the ethnic other in its midst. When Austrian novelist and fellow Carinthian Peter Handke resolved in the late 1970s to explore his Slovene roots, the first book he picked up was Lipuš's Young Tjaž, which served as his Badeker through the Slovene language, and which he faithfully translated into German and published in 1981.

A History of Austrian Literature 1918-2000

New essays examine 20th-c. Austrian literature in relation to history, politics, and popular culture. 20th-century Austrian literature boasts many outstanding writers: Schnitzler, Musil, Rilke, Kraus, Celan, Canetti, Bernhard, Jelinek. These and others feature in broader accounts of German literature, but it is desirable to see how the Austrian literary scene -- and Austrian society itself -- shaped their writing. This volume thus surveys Austrian writers of drama, prose fiction, and lyric poetry; relates them to the distinctive history of modern Austria, a democratic republic that was overtaken by civil war and authoritarian rule, absorbed into Nazi Germany, and re-established as a neutral ...

Die Kosovo-Frage als Herausforderung der Gemeinsamen Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik (GASP) der EU

Die Haltung und Politik der EU in der Kosovo-Frage stehen im Zentrum dieses Buches. Die EU versuchte über viele Jahre, die Unabhängigkeit der früher autonomen Provinz zu verhindern. Die Kosovoalbaner sahen dagegen in der Loslösung von Restjugoslawien die einzige Lösung. Erst durch die NATO-Intervention im März 1999 und die damit verbundene militärische Zuspitzung des Konfliktes geriet die Kosovo-Frage auf die Agenda der EU-Politik. Das Engagement der EU im Kosovo schärfte zudem ihr außen- und sicherheitspolitisches Profil und trug so zur Lösung der Statusfrage bei. Die Mehrzahl der EU-Mitgliedstaaten erkannte zu Beginn des Jahres 2008 den Kosovo als souveränen Staat an, während fünf EU-Staaten die Anerkennung zunächst nicht vollzogen und an ihrer Position auch nach dem Gutachten des Internationalen Gerichtshofs in Den Haag (2010) festhielten. Für den Kosovo ist die noch ausstehende Anerkennung durch die fünf Mitgliedsländer der EU von zentraler Bedeutung. Denn ein europäisches Kosovo ist für die EU genauso wichtig, wie die EU für Kosovo von zentraler Bedeutung ist.

John Taylor's brilliant new book examines the work of many of the major poets who have deeply marked modern and contemporary European literature. Venturing far and wide from the France in which he has lived since the late 1970s, the polyglot writer-critic not only delves into the more widely translated literatures of Italy, Greece, Germany, and Austria, but also discovers impressive and overlooked work in Slovenia, Bosnia, Hungary, Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands in this book that ranges over nearly all of Europe, including Russia.While providing this stimulating and far-ranging critical panorama, Taylor brings to light key themes of European writing: the depth of everyday life, the que...

KŠrnten

Der Reiseführer im Taschenbuchformat Denkt man an Kärnten, steigen im Geiste unweigerlich Bilder von idyllischen Badeseen auf. Das fröhliche Treiben an den Ufern des Wörther- und Faaker-, Ossiacher- oder Millstättersees ist sprichwörtlich und lockt Sommer für Sommer scharenweise Sonnen-, Spaß- und Erholungssuchende an. Freilich hat Österreichs südlichstes Bundesland weit mehr als die weithin bekannten Badeziele zu bieten: die spektakulären Gipfel der Hohen Tauern, Karawanken und Karnischen Alpen, wildromantische Gebirgstäler, schier endlose Wälder und im Südosten lieblich verträumte Landstriche - allesamt weitgehend unbehelligt vom Massentourismus. Kostbare Kunstwerke in abgel...
