A narrator, possibly a former monk, looks back on his life: there wasn’t any real space for childhood and youth in it, his father and mother did not play the role intended for them. His path led him from faith to doubt, from the village to the city. He escaped the city into the solitude of his hermitage, where he tries to put into words what leaves him bewildered, investigates the...

Ingeborg BachmannYear of Publication: 1953

For the young Ingeborg Bachmann and her generation, the great hope after the war soon proved deceptive. The themes in Bachmann's first volume of poetry, Deferred Time (1953), are representative of the experience that defines writing after 1945: Departure and farewell, guilt and memory. In the dramatic gestures and memorable images of her poetic language, this experience found a...

Due to the richness and novelty of the sources, this biography is the first to provide comprehensive information about Paul Celan’s entire life in text and image. It thus enters a field of tension and faces a twofold challenge: for Celan resolutely rejected the biographical, especially the biographical approach to his poetry, and was also decidedly sceptical about the medium of...

Hermeneutics and Critical Theory
Theories of understanding and critical theories are often understood as opposing positions. In his new book, Georg W. Bertram shows that this need not be so. As he conceives it, understanding is constitutively linked to processes of critique and self-critique – processes that are themselves rooted in conflict. For this reason, understanding, where it occurs, is not self-evident, but part of...
