Concerned with a war-crimes trial in the Hague, and the continuing conflict between the past and the present, this novel is an outstanding achievement in human and literary terms.

A young historian follows the trial of his girlfriend's father at the International Court. The prosecution argues that he played a part in the death of a Muslim family during the Balkan civil war. As the trial goes on, our view of the accused shift between the extremes of of a crazed killer and pitiable man of peace, deranged by abnormal pressures.
Ein Mensch brennt
Ein Leben für die Wahrheit, ein Tod gegen die Lüge Demonstrationen, Flugblätter, Hungerstreik – der zehnjährige Hanno ist nicht nur ein Experte in Fußballfragen, er kennt sich auch hervorragend mit öffentlichem Protest aus. Zwei Jahre zuvor ist mit Hartmut Gründler ein unbeugsamer Politkämpfer in das Haus der Familie Kelsterberg gezogen. Hannos Vater belächelt den Mann im Keller, während die Mutter mehr und mehr in den Bann des Idealisten gerät.

Ein provokanter und berührender Roman über eine Familie, die unversehens von der Zeitgeschichte gestreift wird.

Border Visions: Identity and Diaspora in Film offers an overview of global cinema that addresses borders as spaces of hybridity and change. In this collection of essays, contributors examine how cine...
Germans Going Global
Germans Going Global is the first monograph in English to address in depth the interrelatedness between contemporary German literature and globalization. In an interdisciplinary framework and through detailed readings of a wide variety of texts, the study shows how the challenges globalization has posed for Germany over the last two decades have been manifested and reimagined in aesthetic production. Analyses of the literary marketplace and public debates illuminate the more material sides of this development. The study also analyzes the ways in which German-language writers born between 1955 and 1975, such as Chr. Kracht, Th. Meinecke, J. Hermann, S. Berg, F. Illies, K. Röggla, J. v. Düff...
