German Girls
Paul is totally smitten by the lovely Heidi during a holiday encounter in Swanage in the summer of 1978. Will their holiday romance become something much more serious when he sets out to see if his love for her blossoms in her home city of Frankfurt?
The Last Revolutionaries
"The Last Revolutionaries" tells a story of unwavering political devotion: it follows the lives of German communists across the tumultuous twentieth century. Before 1945, German communists were political outcasts in the Weimar Republic and courageous resisters in Nazi Germany; they also suffered Stalin's Great Purges and struggled through emigration in countries hostile to communism. After World War II, they became leaders of East Germany, where they ran a dictatorial regime until they were swept out of power by the people's revolution of 1989. In a compelling collective biography, Catherine Epstein conveys the hopes, fears, dreams, and disappointments of a generation that lived their politi...
Travellers' Tales of Wonder
Exploring travellers' tales of wonder in contemporary literature, this study challenges a sensibility of disenchantment with travel. It reassesses travel writing as an aesthetically and ethically innovative form in contemporary international literature, and demonstrates the crucial role of wonder in the travel narratives of writers such as Bruce Chatwin, V.S. Naipaul, and W.G. Sebald. Their 'travellers' tales of wonder' are read as a challenge to the hubris of thinking the world too well known, and an invitation to encounter the world - including its most troubling histories - with a sense of wonder.

Metaphorisch gesprochen umkreisen die Geschichten dieser Sammlung wie die Planeten eines Sonnensystems einen gemeinsamen Mittelpunkt. Die unterschiedlichen Bahnen mögen sie durch jeweils andere Gefilde führen, und unterwegs begegnen ihnen jeweils andere Phänomene, aber der Kern, der sie mit unsichtbarer Kraft an sich bindet, bleibt doch derselbe. Manche kommen von der Venus, andere stammen vom Mars – alle teilen sie ein und dasselbe Zentrum: die Sonne, in der die Elemente namens Leben, Liebe, Verführung, Gewalt und Tod brodeln und wie in einem chemischen Prozess miteinander verschmelzen. In den Geschichten entfalten sich der Kampf Gut gegen Böse, Dystopien, postapokalyptische Szenarien und andere Katastrophen individuellen oder kosmischen Zuschnitts. So unterhaltsam kann der Weltuntergang sein!
Overcoming Dictatorships
"Overcoming Dictatorships explores art produced in response to the collapse of political authoritarian systems in 1989, particularly those of the Soviet bloc. A case in point is the visual work and discussions of ten artists who have bean selected and commissioned by 'Overcoming Dictatorships', a 2006-09 project generously funded by the European Union (EU). It aims to create a dialogue on post-dictatorial experiences among participants from countries designated as 'East' and 'West' Europe. Their works represent attempts to overcome collective identity formations of the past (i.e. the Soviet bloc, National Socialism and Fascism), critically engage with the fear of new dictatorships (including...
