By Joseph RothTranslated by David Le Vay and Beatrice Musgrave. "One of the greatest writers of the first half of the tormented 20th century" —Simon Schama ‘A master of German prose… Roth understood the subtler acts of violence that war enacts upon the mind’ —Spectator At the close of the Great War, a captured Austrian soldier escapes Siberia and sets off in search of his fiancée, her photograph sewn into the lining of his coat. But the old order has vanished, and he is swept along on the current of revolution: first surrendering to his love for a Red Army beauty, then drifting phantom-like through Europe’s cities. Here Joseph Roth tells one of his most personal stories – that of a man cast adrift in a changed world. Paperback176 pagesPushkin Press, 20245.1 x 0.51 x 7.76 inches ISBN 9781805331216Literature

Flight Without End

Edited with text by Nicholas Sawicki and Marie Rakušanová Preface by Zuzana Jürgens Text by Alexander Klee, Marek Nekula, and Miroslav Halak Journey through Kafka’s Prague and discover the art, architecture, media and performances that influenced the author’s oeuvre What did Franz Kafka see and do, whom did he meet and what did he read while roaming the streets of Prague? Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka brings the world of turn-of-the-century Czechoslovakia and its cultural milieu to life. The author’s home city was a heterogeneous and multilingual metropolis whose visual environment shaped his everyday experiences, from local painting and sculpture to architecture, monuments and popular visual media including advertisements, photography and cabaret. Kafka’s attention to the modern visual culture of his era was reflected in his writings and in his interest in drawing, a practice in which he received preliminary training and which he took up in his free time during his years as a university student. This illustrated publication immerses us in Kafka’s world; by following in his footsteps and looking through his eyes, we gain a new understanding of his thoughts, philosophies and inspirations.

Through the Eyes of Franz Kafka: Between Image and Language

by Else Lasker-SchülerTranslated and Introduction by Jean M. Snook Concert was one of the last books published by a Jew in Germany before Hitler came to power. The work is autobiographical, a collection of essays and vignettes that both entertain and engage the reader at a deeper level. Like Robert Schumann's piano suites, each in itself a perfect concert, Else Lasker-Schüler's Concert contains pieces that vary greatly in theme, mood, length, and complexity, yet they are unified by the medium and by the distinct and lyrical personality of the artist. Lasker-Schüler is able to transform and transcend the everyday scenery and events that are her points of departure. She makes magical an unmagical corner of Germany, discerns the miraculous in the neglected and ignored, and finds wisdom and comfort in prayer and cosmic perspective.Lasker-Schüler was attuned to the world and in some ways uncannily prophetic. It may come as a surprise to some readers that Concert, published in German in 1932, contains a warning about the climatic dangers of interfering 'with the merry green leaf people who give us ozone and the breath of life.' With her respect for the natural environment and her emphasis on spiritual development rather than the materialistic, Lasker-Schüler's voice remains relevant to our own times. A recent German edition of her complete works has proven immensely popular. Prior to the Third Reich, Lasker-Schüler had a well-established reputation in her native Germany as a poet, dramatist, and prose writer, as well as for her work in the visual arts, and she received the Kleist Prize for Literature. As a Jew, though, she was increasingly threatened by 'people wearing swastikas,' and was forced to flee the country in 1933, never to return. She died in exile in Palestine in 1945. This is the first English translation of any of Lasker-Schüler's prose: a challenging task because she includes sections in dialect, poems, numerous neologisms, witty alterations of German sayings, and structural emulations with phonetic echoes of famous German art songs.

Concert

By Lene Rock The first extensive comparison of the German-Jewish literary corpus and contemporary minority writing in German Since the turn of the 21st century, countless literary endeavors by ‘new Germans’ have entered the spotlight of academic research. Yet ‘minority writing’, with its distinctive renegotiation of traditional concepts of cultural identity, is far from a recent phenomenon in German literature. A hundred years previously, the intense involvement of German-Jewish intellectuals in cultural and political discourses on Jewish identity put a clear stamp on German modernism. This book is the first to unfold literary parallels between these two riveting periods in German cultural history. Drawing on the philosophical oeuvre of Jean-Luc Nancy, a comparative reading of texts by, amongst others, Beer-Hofmann, Kermani, Özdamar, Roth, Schnitzler, and Zaimoglu examines a variety of literary approaches to the thorny issue of cultural identity, while developing an overarching perspective on the ‘politics of literature’.

As German as Kafka: Identity and Singularity in German Literature around 1900 and 2000

By Rudi Ekkart and Eefke Muller Looted Art & Restitution relates the history of the trade, looting and restitution of works of art from the Netherlands before, during and after World War II. Looted Art & Restitution relates the history of the trade, looting and restitution of works of art from the Netherlands before, during and after World War II. Countless artworks ended up in German hands during the occupation. The allies recovered a large number of works of art to the Netherlands after the war. It was the Dutch government’s task to return looted or forcibly sold works to their original owners. The mostly Jewish claimants, however, often encountered bureaucratic and unwilling authorities. Meanwhile, most of the artworks were distributed over museums and depots or auctioned off. It was not until the late 1990s that, in accordance with international developments, the restitution policy became much more humane and a search for the rightful owners was implemented.

Looted Art & Restitution: The Exodus and Partial Return of Dutch Art Property During and After World War II

This title is available for pre-order.By Sandra Dzialek, Kerstin Jesse, Jane Kallir, Hannes Leidinger, Edith Schiele, Hans-Peter Wipplinger, Simone HöniglEdited by Kerstin Jesse, Jane Kallir, Hans-Peter Wipplinger This spring, the Leopold Museum is dedicating a large-scale monographic exhibition to the central artist of the Leopold Collection, Egon Schiele (1890–1918). Changing Times. Egon Schiele’s Last Years: 1914–1918 is the first presentation to shine the spotlight on the artist’s late oeuvre. The eccentric exceptional artist only had around ten years of activity before he died at the age of 28 from the “Spanish Flu”. Throughout this decade, Schiele created a comprehensive oeuvre, which is best known for his key paintings and the drawings he realized between 1910 and 1913, in which he addressed his own mental states as well as the self-questioning and inner conflicts of an entire generation. From 1914, right in the middle of his professional career, Schiele faced dramatic changes both of a private and historical nature, which he was forced to adapt to and which impacted on his oeuvre. His previous introspection gave way to a new focus on external realities and novel themes, altering his artistic style.

Wege nach Innen: 25 Gedichte

Herausgegeben von Herbert Schnierle-Lutz »Und wo bleibt das Positive?« wurde Erich Kästner immer wieder gefragt, wenn er seine zeitkritischen Gedichte und Kolumnen veröffentlichte. »Ja, weiß der Teufel, wo das bleibt«, antwortete er.Es ist nicht einfach in dieser Welt, Literatur zu schreiben, die das Leben ohne Wenn und Aber bejaht; das viele, das menschlich und gesellschaftlich im argen liegt, beansprucht die Aufmerksamkeit der Schriftsteller, die das Leben möglichst wirklichkeitsnah und ungeschönt darstellen wollen. Und außerdem ist das Positive, wenn es ab und zu doch zum Zuge kommt, »kein guter Stoff für Dichter«, wie der Schriftsteller Robert Walser einmal feststellte. Dennoch brauchen wir zuweilen auch Nachrichten vom Glück, wollen von positiven Erfahrungen und Erlebnissen lesen. Und manchmal tun uns die Dichter, allen Bedenken zum Trotz, den Gefallen. Hymnen und Lobpreisungen, die uns Mut machen, erblicken dann das Licht der Welt. Gedichte von Franz von Assisi bis Ingeborg Bachmann, von Goethe, Eichendorff und Mörike bis Wolf Biermann und Sarah Kirsch finden sich in diesem Band versammelt.

By Wassily KandinskyIntroduction by Lisa FlormanTranslated by Ruth Ahmedzai KempNotes by Lisa Florman A treatise on the spiritual in contemporary painting to adopt new, metaphysical ways of conceiving of and creating art, by one of the most impactful and recognized artists of the twentieth century, in a new translation for the first time since publication A Penguin Classic In Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Wassily Kandinsky, one of the most famous abstract painters of all time, urges the reader to free themselves from art’s traditional bonds to material reality. In this radical theoretical work, he calls for a spiritual revolution in painting, arguing that artists, much like musicians, should be allowed to express their own inner lives in abstract, non-material terms. Investigating form and colour, spirituality and tradition, Kandinsky explores art’s resonance with the soul, its purpose and nature, and its power to inspire us, to stir our emotions and to help us see beyond the limits of our world. A significant contribution to the understanding of non-objectivism in art, this book serves as an important landmark in modern art history and is necessary reading for every artist and art-lover.

Concerning the Spiritual in Art

By Ingeborg BachmannTranslated by Tess Lewis "Equal to the best of Virginia Woolf and Samuel Beckett."―The New York Times Book Review "Bachmann’s vision is so original that the effect is like having a new letter of the alphabet."―The Guardian A powerful historical work about war and its victims, never before in English, from the celebrated author of Malina Written when Ingeborg Bachmann was only eighteen, The Honditsch Cross, her second-longest completed work of prose, is a historical novella set during the final days of the Napoleonic occupation of Austria in 1813. A young theology student, returning from Vienna to his family home in Carinthia, finds the invading troops stationed there, led by a despotic officer, who has been exploiting and terrorizing his family and friends. He is immediately thrown into the center of the conflict, torn between defending his homeland, the pull of physical desire, and the pursuit of his theological studies In this gripping work, Bachmann begins to explore themes that will preoccupy her for the rest of her writing career: complex notions of nationality and patriotism, the roles and rights of women in patriarchal societies, the meaningless destruction of war and its aftermath, and the bitter moments of disillusionment that lead to intellectual maturity.

By Daniel KehlmannTranslated by Ross Benjamin “Nothing short of brilliant.” —The Wall Street Journal “A surpassingly gifted storyteller.” —The New York Times From “one of the brightest, most pleasure-giving writers at work today” (Jeffrey Eugenides, Pulitzer Prize–winning author), a visionary tale inspired by the life of film director G.W. Pabst, who fled to Hollywood to resist the Nazis only to be forced to return to his homeland and create propaganda films for the German Reich. An artist’s life, a pact with the devil, and the dangerous illusions of the silver screen. G.W. Pabst, one of cinema’s greatest directors of the 20th century, was filming in France when the Nazis seized power. To escape the horrors of the new and unrecognizable Germany, he fled to Hollywood. But now, under the blinding California sun, the world-famous director suddenly looks like a nobody. Not even Greta Garbo, the Hollywood actress whom he made famous, can help him. When he receives word that his elderly mother is ill, he finds himself back in his homeland of Austria, which is now called Ostmark. Pabst, his wife, and his young son are suddenly confronted with the barbaric nature of the regime. So, when Joseph Goebbels—the minister of propaganda in Berlin—sees the potential for using the European film icon for his directorial genius and makes big promises to Pabst and his family, Pabst must consider Goebbels’s thinly veiled order. While Pabst still believes that he will be able to resist these advances, that he will not submit to any dictatorship other than art, he has already taken the first steps into a hopeless entanglement. Kehlmann’s latest oeuvre explores the complicated relationships and distinctions between art and power, beauty and barbarism, cog and conspirator.

We’ve all been there: When a lonely hedgehog hosts a party for his friends, he’s suddenly wracked by social anxiety and self-doubt… The hedgehog is feeling rather lonely, so one day he decides to invite all the other animals for a party. But the hedgehog is also rather a shy, reserved animal, and is terribly worried about doing or saying something he shouldn't, and about all the things that could go wrong. What if nobody comes? What if too many of them come? What if the elephant shows up and breaks all the furniture? Will anyone be able to hear the hedgehog talk above the frog's croaking? Maybe inviting the others over wasn't such a good idea after all... An international bestseller, with more than 1 million copies sold in the Netherlands, The Hedgehog’s Dilemma is the perfect gift for the shy, retiring ‘hedgehog’ in your life.

By Padraig Rooney "At last a biography in English of one of the most interesting women of the twentieth century! Schwarzenbach was so far ahead of her time that we are only now beginning to catch up to her. Little happened in the early decades of the twentieth century to which she didn't have a connection. What a life! And what a great way Padraig Rooney has told it." —Carlos Dews, editor of The Collected Works of Carson McCullers “An empathetic portrait of an audacious woman.” —Kirkus Reviews Annemarie Schwarzenbach was one of the twentieth century’s most remarkable women, possibly the greatest sexual and political radical of the 1930s. But until now she’s been largely ignored. Born to a wealthy family in Switzerland, as a teenager she rebelled against her domineering pro-Nazi mother. She immersed herself in the antifascist, queer and artistic circles of the German diaspora of the 1930s. Her edgy glamour and androgynous beauty turned heads in the lesbian nightclubs of Weimar Berlin, on the ski slopes of St. Moritz, and in New York's luxury hotels and jazz bars. Constantly on the move, Annemarie chronicled the low and dishonest decade leading to war through her unique journalism, writing and photography. Her work was as adventurous and uncompromising as her personal life, and reveals a deep courage, intelligence, and ambition tragically curtailed by her untimely death.

Rebel Angel: The Life and Times of Annemarie Schwarzenbach

By Donna Rifkind “Rifkind sees the worldly yet unassuming Viertel as at once an extraordinary character and a telling representative of something larger than herself. She’s right to…A labor of love and careful research…startling and powerful…[Rifkind’s] generosity of spirit and attention to detail suit a book about this ‘mother of exiles,’ who was always welcoming outsiders in.” —New York Times Book Review “Among mid-twentieth-century America’s most influential women, Salka Viertel finally gets her due in Donna Rifkind’s marvelous, knowledgeable The Sun and Her Stars.” —Boston Herald “Rifkind regularly takes issue with previous cultural historians who have denigrated Salka’s importance as a screenwriter…Rifkind writes engagingly and often passionately…[Salka’s] had been a remarkable life and she had been blessed with extraordinary friends, as Donna Rifkind again shows us.” —Washington Post National Jewish Book Award Finalist The little-known story of screenwriter Salka Viertel, whose salons in 1930s and 40s Hollywood created a refuge for a multitude of famous figures who had escaped the horrors of World War ll. Hollywood was created by its “others”; that is, by women, Jews, and immigrants. Salka Viertel was all three and so much more. She was the screenwriter for five of Greta Garbo’s movies and also her most intimate friend. At one point during the Irving Thalberg years, Viertel was the highest-paid writer on the MGM lot. Meanwhile, at her house in Santa Monica she opened her door on Sunday afternoons to scores of European émigrés who had fled from Hitler—such as Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, and Arnold Schoenberg—along with every kind of Hollywood star, from Charlie Chaplin to Shelley Winters. In Viertel’s living room (the only one in town with comfortable armchairs, said one Hollywood insider), countless cinematic, theatrical, and musical partnerships were born. Viertel combined a modern-before-her-time sensibility with the Old-World advantages of a classical European education and fluency in eight languages. She combined great worldliness with great warmth. She was a true bohemian with a complicated erotic life, and at the same time a universal mother figure. A vital presence in the golden age of Hollywood, Salka Viertel is long overdue for her own moment in the spotlight.

Sergeant Dimplemoser hears Grandmother’s cries and comes to her aid, but Hotzenplotz has evaded the useless police for years. So Kasperl and Seppel vow to catch the robber themselves. But catching robbers is not as easy as all that… Kasperl and Seppel soon discover that even the best-laid plans can be foiled, especially when Hotzenplotz enlists the help of his wicked magician friend Petrosilius Zackleman, a gluttonous villain with a weakness for fried potatoes.

The Robber Hotzenplotz (Paperback)

By Milo Todd “REMINISCENT OF ANTHONY DOERR’S ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE . . . Its propulsive narrative, at times heart-stopping in its suspense and dramatic reveals, is interwoven with rich descriptions and historical passages that give context to a society held in the brutal grip of fascism.” —The Boston Globe A moving and deeply humane story about a trans man who must relinquish the freedoms of prewar Berlin to survive first the Nazis then the Allies while protecting the ones he loves “reclaims a powerful piece of trans history” —Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Orphan Train "In The Lilac People, Milo Todd brings to life the hope, joy, and complexities of trans identity and community in Weimar Berlin and beyond. At once a celebration of what becomes possible when humans truly accept one another and a stark reminder of the precipice between personal freedom and catastrophe, the story of Bertie Durchdenwald’s fight for autonomy, dignity, and love cuts through history to underline what’s at stake in our present moment." —Jason Lutes, creator of Berlin In 1932 Berlin, a trans man named Bertie and his friends spend carefree nights at the Eldorado Club, the epicenter of Berlin’s thriving queer community. An employee of the renowned Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld at the Institute of Sexual Science, Bertie works to improve queer rights in Germany and beyond. But everything changes when Hitler rises to power. The Institute is raided, the Eldorado is shuttered, and queer people are rounded up. Bertie barely escapes with his girlfriend, Sofie, to a nearby farm. There they take on the identities of an elderly couple and live for more than a decade in isolation. In the final days of the war, with their freedom in sight, Bertie and Sofie find a young trans man collapsed on their property, still dressed in Holocaust prison clothes. They vow to protect him—not from the Nazis, but from the Allied forces who are arresting queer prisoners while liberating the rest of the country. Ironically, as the Allies’ vise grip closes on Bertie and his family, their only salvation is to flee to the United States. Brimming with hope, resilience, and the enduring power of community, The Lilac People tells an extraordinary story inspired by real events and recovers an unknown moment of World War II and trans history.

The Lilac People

By Erich Maria RemarqueTranslated by Kurt Beals An immediate sensation when it was published in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front has sold more than twenty million copies worldwide since then, making it the best-selling German novel of all time. Its impact is indisputable: it has been adapted for film, television, and other media; has influenced all subsequent works of war literature; and has been taught in high school and college classes ever since. Until now, one translation--published in 1929, and very much a product of its time--has introduced most readers in English to Remarque's wrenching portrait of the horrors of trench warfare. Now, nearly a century later, renowned translator Kurt Beals recaptures the energy and descriptive force of the German original, rendering Remarque's distinctly terse, telegraphic prose into a contemporary idiom, conveying for a new generation the immediacy and intensity of this classic novel.

All Quiet on the Western Front

Edited by George T. M. Shackelford, Irina Hiebert Grun, and Joachim Jäger This catalogue accompanies an exhibition organized by the Neue Nationalgalerie, Berlin, in cooperation with the Kimbell Art Museum. The most important gathering of works from the distinguished modern art museum in Berlin ever presented in the United States, it features more than seventy paintings and sculptures by artists of international renown including Beckmann, Dix, Grosz, Kirchner, Nolde, Schad, and many others. The book's catalogue entries, accompanied by introductory essays for each section, explore the diverse avant-garde movements that emerged after the end of the Empire, from vividly colored Expressionist paintings to hyper-realistic works of the New Objectivity and to the international art, championed by certain art dealers, whose push toward abstraction had a strong influence on paintings and sculptors in Germany. The catalogue then delves more deeply into politics and war, studying, through the lens of masterworks, the course of events that led from Germany's defeat in 1918 to the rise of militant nationalism and a second defeat in World War II and the equivocal situation of the visual arts in Germany in the aftermath of the war.
