Aging and Old-Age Style in Günter Grass, Ruth Klüger, Christa Wolf, and Martin Walser: The Mannerism of a Late Period
ISBN: 9781571135780 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Demographers say that by the year 2060, every seventh person in Germany will be aged eighty or older, and every third person over sixty-five. The prediction for other Western countries is scarcely different. Indeed, the aging society is seen by some as a graver threat than even global warming, with potentially unmanageable tensions relating to intergenerational relationships, work and benefits, and flows of people. This book explores the representation and performance of aging in recent "late-style" German-language fiction. It situates the authors chosen as case studies -- Gunter Grass, Ruth...

Aphrodisiacs: The Science and the Myth
ISBN: 9781468467024 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The planning and writing of this book has taken rather longer than I had originally intended; what began as a modest literary project for two second-year medical students has expanded over eight years to become a complete book. The subject matter lent itself all too easily to a sen- sationalist approach yet, on the other hand, a strictly scientific approach would probably have resulted in a dull dry text of little interest to the general reader. I have therefore attempted to bridge the gap and make the book intelligible and entertaining to the non-special- ist, but at the same time ensuring...

The Novel in German since 1990
ISBN: 9780521192378 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Diversity is one of the defining characteristics of contemporary German-language literature, not just in terms of the variety of authors writing in German today, but also in relation to theme, form, technique and style. However, common themes emerge: the Nazi past, transnationalism, globalisation, migration, religion and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and identity. This book presents the novel in German since 1990 through a set of close readings both of international bestsellers (including Daniel Kehlmann's Measuring the World and W. G. Sebald's Austerlitz) and of less familiar, but...

Transnationalism and German-Language Literature in the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9783319504834 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 361 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book examines how German-language authors have intervened in contemporary debates on the obligation to extend hospitality to asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants; the terrorist threat post-9/11; globalisation and neo-liberalism; the opportunities and anxieties of intensified mobility across borders; and whether transnationalism necessarily implies the end of the nation state and the dawn of a new cosmopolitanism. The book proceeds through a series of close readings of key texts of the last twenty years, with an emphasis on the most recent works. Authors include Terezia Mora, Richard...

Germans as Victims in the Literary Fiction of the Berlin Republic
ISBN: 9781571135575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years it has become much more accepted in Germany to consider aspects of the Second World War in which Germans were not perpetrators, but victims: the Allied bombing campaign, expulsions of -ethnic- Germans, mass rapes of German women, and postwar internment and persecution. An explosion of literary fiction on these topics has accompanied this trend. Sebald's The Air War and Literature and Grass's Crabwalk are key texts, but there are many others; the great majority seek not to revise German responsibility for the Holocaust but to balance German victimhood and German perpetration....

Recasting German Identity: Culture, Politics, and Literature in the Berlin Republic
ISBN: 9781571132444 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This collection of fifteen essays by scholars from the UK, the US, Germany, and Scandinavia revisits the question of German identity. Unlike previous books on this topic, however, the focus is not exclusively on national identity in the aftermath of Hitler. Instead, the concentration is upon the plurality of ethnic, sexual, political, geographical, and cultural identities in modern Germany, and on their often fragmentary nature as the country struggles with the challenges of unification and international developments such as globalization, multiculturalism, and postmodernism. The multifaceted...
