Beyond Totalitarianism
These essays rethink the nature of Stalinism and Nazism and establish a new methodology for viewing their histories that goes well beyond outdated twentieth-century models of totalitarianism, ideology, and personality. They offer a new understanding of the intertwined trajectories of socialism and nationalism in European and global history.

The Last Heroes of Leningrad
Alexandra Wachter investigates how survivors of the Siege of Leningrad (1941–44) were able to come to terms with their memories in Soviet and post-Soviet society. Subject to political fluctuations, official remembrance ranged from enforced silence to extensive exploitation for propaganda purposes, a framework which corresponded with psychological strategies to cope, but not deal, with trauma: repression, denial, acting-out and idealization. Based on a combination of oral history interviews, ethnographic and archival research, this study examines narratives and activities of child and adolescent survivors. Individual experiences are related to varying degrees of involvement in survivors’ organisations, and thick description adds to the understanding of trauma in the context of a (post-)totalitarian society.
Feiertagskinder - Späte Romane
«Wer Keyserling liest, geht in Ferien.» Gustav Seibt, Süddeutsche Zeitung Längst ist Eduard von Keyserling in aller Munde – als bemerkenswerteste Wiederentdeckung der modernen deutschsprachigen Literatur. Keiner beschreibt das Farbenspiel der Natur sinnlicher, suggestiver, keiner geht jedoch auch raffinierter mit seinen Figuren ins Gericht. Die Renaissance des genialen Seelenzeichners und Stimmungskünstlers verdankt sich ganz entscheidend dem Engagement des Manesse Verlags, zuletzt mit «Landpartie», dem vielbeachteten Jubiläumsband 2018. Nach den gesammelten Erzählungen folgt nun der nächste Streich: die späten Romane in einer umfassend kommentierten Edition. Sie enthält die glänzenden Höhepunkte aus dem letzten Lebensjahrzehnt Keyserlings, neben «Wellen» (1911) noch «Abendliche Häuser» (1914), «Fürstinnen» (1917) und «Feiertagskinder» (1918/19).
Out of Steppe
Daniel Metcalfe journeys through the five 'stans, as well as Pakistan and Afghanistan, and brings to life the brilliant human tapestry they comprise - uniquely shaped by the immigrants, deportees and conquerors that have settled there. Revealing a Central Asia that is far removed from the home of Borat or the land of international terrorism, Metcalfe unlocks the secrets of this troubled region, glorying in its diversity and also lamenting the economic and cultural changes that threaten to eradicate some of its peoples...
Verbotene Bilder
This volume features many carved wooden sculptures of saints from 14th- to 20th-century Russia, which until now have been largely unknown to the western public. Officially banned by a proclamation of Peter I, they have nevertheless always been an important part of Russian religious devotion. The sculptures are grouped stylistically into two major groups: early ones are characterized by iconically transcendent austerity, while later ones refl ect western infl uences in anatomical features and gestures. German text.
