The Franz Document
The Franz Document is a novel about a half-Jewish, homosexual student in Vienna, whose father is a functionary in the Austrian Nazi party. After the Germans invade Austria, he is sent to a concentration camp, accused of being an anarchist, homosexual, and Jew. Upon his release, he flees to Switzerland where he spends the war years. Later, he becomes an interpreter for the American occupation forces in Vienna. Eventually, he wends his way to India, to seek spiritual enlightenment. From there he travels to Thailand and the Philippines. It is there that he makes peace with his homosexuality.
The Secret Purposes
THE SECRET PURPOSES, David Baddiel's third novel, takes us into a little-known and still somewhat submerged area of British history: the internment of German Jewish refugees on the Isle of Man during the Second World War. Isaac Fabian, on the run with his young family from Nazism in East Prussia, comes to Britain assuming he has found asylum, but instead finds himself drowning in the morass of ignorance, half-truth, prejudice, and suspicion that makes up government attitudes to German Jews in 1940. One woman, June Murray, a translator from the Ministry of Information, stands out - and when she comes to the island on a personal mission to uncover solid evidence of Nazi atrocities, her meeting with Isaac will have far-reaching consequences for both of them. A haunting and beautifully written tale of love, displacement and survival, THE SECRET PURPOSES profoundly questions the way that truth - both personal and political - emerges from the tangle of history.
Bothe Richter Teherani
Impressive in size, emotional and visual impact, the buildings of Hamburg-based architects Bothe Richter Teherani are also remarkable for their attention to finishing detail, functionality and financial accountability, and have won international recognition. BRT s style is provocative and controversial; it took the city of Cologne 10 years to come to terms with their glass crane structures, predestined to become the heart of the Rhine and Ruhr valleys, and BRT s project to build Europe s highest building in the waters of Hamburg harbour is the subject of heated discussion. BRT s labyrinthine yet systematic concepts to maximize space in office buildings, the futuristic connotations of space shuttles and zeppelins, and their treatment of urban and public spaces are documented in this volume. The accompanying essays and text contributions investigate the aims of the architects, somewhere between pragmatism and vision, between fine detail and the greater complexity of urban life.
Sydney in Shorts und T-Shirt
Sydney wirkte auf mich wie ein Kulturschock! Nach dem ruhigen und beschaulichen Canberra – wo ich immerhin zehn Tage verbracht hatte – fand ich mich nun in einer Weltstadt wieder und kam mir zunächst zwischen all den Hochhäusern ziemlich verloren vor.
