Günter Wallraff. He was the hero of the 70s and 80s. Using controversial methods he wrote against the powers that be in Germany. In the Industrie Reportagen, in his role as the Turk Ali or as Hans Esser, editor at the Bild newspaper Günter Wallraff has repeatedly touched a raw nerve of society, his methods have polarized opinions to this day. This is the way Günter Wallraff is introduced most of the time. It is clear, however, that if many people among the young and old know about the arguably most controversial European writer, they do so just superficially. For the first time, a book comprehensively presents Günter Wallraffs literary and journalistic work, thus looking at an unknown side of his. But one can learn about some aspects of Wallraffs private life, too.
This comprehensive guide is an ideal reference work for film specialists and enthusiasts. First published in 1984 but continuously updated ever since, CineGraph is the most authoritative and comprehensive encyclopedia on German-speaking cinema in the German language. This condensed and substantially revised English-language edition makes this important resource available to students and researchers for the first time outside its German context. It offers a representative historical overview through bio-filmographical entries on the main protagonists, from the beginnings to the present day. Included are directors and actors, writers and cameramen, composers and production designers, film theorists and critics, producers and distributors, inventors and manufacturers. An appendix includes short introductory essays on specific periods and movements, such as Early Film, Weimar, Nazi Cinema, DEFA, New German Cinema, and German film since unification, as well as on cinematic developments in Austria and Switzerland. Sections that crossreference names around specific professional groups and themes will prove equally invaluable to researchers.

Dieter Hildebrandt, einer der bekanntesten deutschen Kabarettisten, blickt in seinem erstmals 1986 erschienenen Werk «Was bleibt mir übrig» zurück auf dreißig Jahre Kabarett. Er erinnert sich an entscheidende Tage in seinem Leben, an denen nicht selten auch Entscheidendes in der Republik geschah, und erzählt von seinen satirischen Fehden gegen Personen und Vorgänge, die die Nachkriegsgeschichte des Landes geprägt haben. Dieter Hildebrandt, bekanntgeworden auf den Brettern der «Münchner Lach- und Schießgesellschaft», Verkünder der «Notizen aus der Provinz» im ZDF und Star der Sendung «Scheibenwischer», ist eine faszinierende Rückschau gelungen: ein persönliches Tagebuch, das drei Jahrzehnte kritisch beleuchtet.
