The Critical Reception of Alfred Döblin's Major Novels
The first thorough study in English of the reception of Döblin's novels, written by one of the foremost Döblin scholars. Alfred Döblin (1878-1957) is one of the major German writers of the twentieth century. His experimental, ever-changing, avant-garde style kept both readers and critics off guard, and although he won the acclaim of critics and hada clear impact on German writers after the Second World War (Günter Grass called him "my teacher"), he is still largely unknown to the reading public, and under-researched by literary scholars. He was a prolific writer, with thirteen novels alongside a great many other shorter fiction works and non-fiction writings to his credit, and yet, parad...
Like A Pelting Rain
When it comes to analyzing today's culture, people talk about politics, economics, and even morals. Like a Pelting Rain: The Making of the Modern Mind goes deeper and looks at the spiritual condition of Western civilization. How we arrived at where we are is the long and complex interplay of theology and culture. Understanding the trends of the times does not necessitate accepting them. God calls upon Christians to contend for the faith. The Holy Spirit is still at work, and the Gospel remains the power of God for the salvation of all who believe!
Nietzsche and Jewish Culture
Friedrich Nietzsche occupies a contradictory position in the history of ideas: he came up with the concept of a master race, yet an eminent Jewish scholar like Martin Buber translated his Also sprach Zarathustra into Polish and remained in a lifelong intellectual dialogue with Nietzsche. Sigmund Freud admired his intellectual courage and was not at all reluctant to admit that Nietzsche had anticipated many of his basic ideas. This unique collection of essays explores the reciprocal relationship between Nietzsche and Jewish culture. It is organized in two parts: the first examines Nietzsche's attitudes towards Jews and Judaism; the second Nietzsche's influence on Jewish intellectuals as diverse and as famous as Franz Kafka, Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig and Sigmund Freud. Each carefully selected essay explores one aspect of Nietzsche's relation to Judaism and German intellectual history, from Heinrich Heine to Nazism.
Liesl Frank, Charlotte Dieterle and the European Film Fund
Setting out to provide a definitive history of the European Film Fund (EFF), the purpose of this thesis is as follows: first, to draw attention to the many exile and refugee organisations by examining one of them, the EFF. As a study of a refugee organisation founded as a result of Nazism, my examination of the EFF not only fills an existing gap in film history as far as the EFF itself is concerned. Refugee organisations in general have received scant attention by exile scholars. By making one refugee organisation the focus of my inquiry, I am also highlighting the presence of women in the topic of exile as two women, Liesl Frank, wife of the writer Bruno Frank, and Charlotte Dieterle, wife ...
A Companion to the Works of Alfred Döblin
A volume of carefully focused essays illuminating the works of one of the leading 20th-century German writers.
The German Historical Novel in Exile After 1933
Historical fiction, from the epic tales of the ancients to Gone With the Wind and Roots, "demonstrates an inherent need in man to come to terms with his heritage in literary form." When the writers and readers are exiles, their need becomes especially poignant. The dual historical-artistic nature of the historical novel legitimates its claim to be a distinct genre. Two of the post-1933 exiled German novelists, Lion Feuchtwanger and Alfred Döblin, saw the historical novel's function as "to collect, preserve, and transmit the reality, not the mere facts, of great historical events and personages." The analysis of a cross-section of the work of these two and eight other leading German novelist...

Das Leid im Werk Alfred Döblins
Das Thema Leid zeigt sich in den späten Romanen Alfred Döblins zunächst im Schmerz der kriegsversehrten passiven Helden und in deren Psychosen. Im Inneren der Hauptfiguren Dr. Friedrich Becker und Edward Allison spielen sich während ihrer Traumen und Wahnvorstellungen ethische Bewusstwerdungs- und Wandlungsprozesse ab, die zum Widerstand gegen die traditionellen Wert- und Ordnungsvorstellungen der Gesellschaft führen. Dabei wird die Kriegsschuldfrage thematisiert sowie die Problematik von Pazifismus und helfender Gewalt unter Heranziehung modernster sprachlicher Kunstmittel erörtert. Leid erweist sich als ein Hauptthema des Autors von den psychologisch und psychiatrisch durchdachten Kr...
Babylon - Mallorca
Die Studie unternimmt am Beispiel des deutschsprachigen Exilromans zur Zeit des ‚Dritten Reichs‘ den Versuch, die Ästhetik des Komischen als Teil einer modernen Exilpoetik zu etablieren. Sie berücksichtigt dabei das gesamte Spektrum komischer Schreibformen von der Satire über den Humor bis hin zum Grotesken, zum Pikaresken und zum Witz. In drei historisch-systematischen Grundlagenkapiteln und drei Fallstudien zu Alfred Döblin, Veza Canetti und Albert Vigoleis Thelen erfolgt die Analyse der Funktionen, Potentiale und Grenzen dieser komisierenden Erzählverfahren. Der Band versteht sich als Beitrag zur Rehabilitierung der komischen Dimension der Exilliteratur bzw. überhaupt erst zur Kenntlichmachung des Komischen als ernstzunehmender Schreibstrategie im Exil.
