Destructive Desires
Elements of Democratic Fascism
Before he was re-elected, Donald Trump promised to do away with the guardrails of liberal democracy. And he was not elected despite this promise, but because of it. In their bestseller Offended Freedom, Carolin Amlinger and Oliver Nachtwey showed how libertarianism and authoritarianism could meld together. Two years later, reality confirmed their sociological diagnosis in the most...

Angels and Demons of the Periphery
Essays
»A little bit Sisyphus, a little bit Sacher-Masoch« is how Ukraine’s best-known writer described himself in 2007. The »orange revolution« is a thing of the past, any hopes and dreams are pretty much dead and buried, »let’s start again from the beginning«: with reading Hesse, Benn and Lina Kostenko, early and formative experiences, with the...

Male Oscuro
From the Time of Illness
Ingeborg Bachmann’s dream notes, correspondence drafts and records from the time of her illness are of great literary interest as the primary elements of the subsequent Todesarten-texts. In addition, these writings are apt to further our knowledge about her illness and the phenomenon of illness itself. They are outrageous, courageous in their analytic approach, defeated...

Paul Celan
A Biography in Pictures
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...

What now?
Towards German Reunification
In March 1966, Egon Bahr finished a manuscript. Under the title »What now?«, he outlines a new East German and intra-German policy. Proudly, he hands it to his superior – and the text disappears into a filing cabinet. Willy Brandt feared that in view of the possibility of a grand coalition, the memorandum held too much explosive potential. But the two soon start implementing Bahr’s concept...

At the End of the Road
Afghanistan between Hope and Failure
The Afghan Ring Road. A road that exists in reality and is yet a mystery. The 3,200-kilometre circular highway connects the country’s most important cities. It promised unity and prosperity. It has been under construction for sixty years, but it is still not finished. Corruption and mismanagement have swallowed up huge sums of money. After the invasion of Western troops, the road became...
