The Great Lili
"Called beautiful, macabre, disturbing, Lili Marleen influenced millions of people the world over. She was mysterious, romantic, a harlot, a saint. What was the secret of the song that stirred the hearts and minds of soldiers and civilians throughout the world, and why did it involve Lady Astor, Joseph Goebbels, Dwight David Eisenhower, Winston Churchill, Erwin Rommel, and Joseph Stalin? Why was this song recorded by some of the best-known singers of this century -- singers like Bing Crosby, Lale Andersen, Anne Shelton, Vera Lynn, Marlene Dietrich, Anna Neagle, Connie Francis, Greta Keller, Jean-Claude Pascal, and others? And what of the author of the song -- Hans Leip -- who quietly retired to Switzerland after years of torment from the Nazis? This fascinating story of the best-known song in history reads like a detective thriller -- but it is truth. The tales of the countless men and women who guided the song's musical form or were its listeners are told with warmth. Packaged with the book is a recording of the best-known versions of Lili Marleen, and the original version, sung by the author of the song, Hans Leip."--Page [4] of cover.

Das trunkene Stillesein
Bis 1943 war Leip Mitarbeiter des Archivs des Cotta-Verlags in Überlingen am Bodensee. In seinem Anmerkungen zu diesem kleinen Gedichtbändchen führt der Autor aus: "Große gute Lüfte und Fernsichten, fernab der Küsten, die mich sonst angereizt! Mir war nach Wandlung zumute, und ich hätte ein Waldbruder sein mögen ... Die Anspannung der fortschreitenden Jahre war der Entstehung von Gedichten nicht hold gewesen. Nun aber, zwischen den begnadeten stillen Ufern des Bodensees löste sich mählich die Unruhe, und das groß und viel Gewollte trat zurück. Eine lauschende Besinnlichkeit, die geduldig gewartet hatte, fand Raum und vernahm verwundert die alten Quellen der Tiefe." Ein Blick in diese wunderbaren Gedichte belegt, was Hans Leip mit seinen Worten ausdrücken möchte.-
