The fall of the Berlin Wall causes Katharina Elbracht’s life to unravel. The 44-year old woman from Hamburg receives a bundle of letters from East Berlin, which reveal that the woman she has called ‘mother’ all her life is actually her aunt. Deeply shocked, Katharina begins to delve into her family history. She comes across a young love that began with Swing music only to be destroyed by the war, two sisters separated by the wall who formed a lifelong secret pact, and traces of her father, who was considered missing in action since 1945. Her research leads Katharina through half of Germany and to Ireland, where her father is supposed to be living a secluded and lonely life. One day she stands outside an old house and places her hand on the doorbell … The author: Renate Ahrens, who lives in Hamburg and Ireland, narrates this impressive German-German family history in an unadorned and empathetic manner. The magazine FREUNDIN said of the author’s novels: ‘Renate Ahrens tells moving stories in a perceptive manner.’ FICTION Dieter Bednarz Schwer erleuchtet Massively Enlightened Knaur, June 2017, 352 pages Film rights already sold for cinema production! ‘Should you ever be in Hamburg, please do get in touch!’ This is the sort of thing you might say when you’re relaxed under tropical sunshine and having the final Ayurveda treatment of your holiday. But who would actually think that a couple of months later the doorbell might ring and an orange clad monk would be stood outside the door with a beaming smile, not intending to leave anytime soon? Dieter Bednarz’ heroes Maya and Daniel are flabbergasted by the easy-going calmness with which the monk Siri turns their lives upside down within a short space of time. As well as that of their neighbours. Before they know it, their flat turns into a meditation room, yoga is part of their daily routine and they soon question their work-life-balance, their core values and not long after, their marriage. No stone is left standing in their lives. But how on earth do you disinvite a monk? And isn’t that bad for the karma? The author: The film rights for ‘Massively Enlightened’ have already been sold for cinema production. Dieter Bednarz, born in 1956, was political editor of the news magazine DER SPIEGEL for more than half his life and lives in Hamburg with his wife and three daughters, so far without any moments of enlightenment. His earlier books were successful as films and also as television productions under the same title. FICTION Luisa Binder Darf ich dir das Sie anbieten? Let’s be formal Knaur, June 2017, 304pages A novel about an unexpected friendship, a Scandinavian holiday with obstacles and the normal chaos that we call life, full of humour and charm! Ellen is fed up. Her husband Hans has dumped her at the North Cape in the middle of their Scandinavian holiday, to top it all in the camper van that she hates with a passion. As Ellen hasn’t driven a car in years and doesn’t fancy a solo road trip, she wants to wait for her daughter to come and pick her up. But fiddlesticks! Marion doesn’t turn up, but instead sends someone from the German Automobile Club to the North Cape. Ronny of all people, a washed up musical performer who cannot get his life in order and is fighting adulthood with tooth and nail. Reluctantly the two very different companions set off on the journey from Norway to Germany. They experience a road trip of a particular kind as they travel through the infinite Scandinavian forests, past fjords and archipelagos. They not only have to grapple with camper van breakdowns, gigantic Swedes and dead elks, but also have to recognise that neither one of them will reach their goal without the other … The author: Luisa Binder has studied all sorts of art related things in her life that have not really helped her. Nevertheless, she did get a job with an advertising agency. In her free time she likes to visit her parents, who luckily she no longer lives with. Luisa Binder is married and lives in a tranquil small town in the Rhein-Neckar region. She loves raison-free cheesecake and is learning Swedish in her spare time. FICTION Franziska Fischer Das warme Licht des Morgens The Warm Light of Dawn Droemer, April 2017, 384 pages Following ‘The Night of the Migrating Birds’, the Berlin-based author Franziska Fischer presents another poignant and deeply poetic novel in ‘The Warm Light of Dawn’, in which, with great sensitivity and psychological tact, she writes about life after a blow of fate and about the healing power of love. The light, the colours and the expression in a stranger’s eyes – these are the ingredients that Levi needs for his poems and stories. But when he loses his sight while saving a little girl from a fire, his world collapses around him. Never being able to see again also means never being able to find the right words again. In desperation he withdraws more and more from life. Until one day he meets Rea, the waitress in the café where he always goes to eat. She becomes his confidante; he learns to see again through her eyes and to write through her hands. She has also had to deal with a great loss that weighs far heavier than Levi’s blindness, but this is something she wants to keep from him at all costs. The author: Franziska Fischer was born in 1983 in Berlin and continues to live there after her studies in German and Spanish Philology at the University of Potsdam. She works as a freelance author and editor. FICTION Julia Fischer Die Galerie der Düfte The Gallery of Scents Knaur, May 2017, 368 pages A summer novel with a high feel-good factor – to taste, smell and relish reading, and a love story not just for lovers of Florence! Written by the renowned narrator and actress Julia Fischer. It is much more than just a pharmacy: The venerable Officina Profumo di Santa Maria Novella, in the midst of the vibrant side streets and squares of Florence, is famous for its enchanting scents.

    Weaponized Humor: the Cultural Politics Of

    WEAPONIZED HUMOR: THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF TURKISH-GERMAN ETHNO-COMEDY by TIM HÖLLERING B.A. Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2008 M.Ed., Georg-August Universität Göttingen, 2010 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Germanic Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2016 © Tim Höllering, 2016 Abstract My thesis aims to show how the humor of Turkish-German ethno-comedians fulfills a double purpose of entertaining its audience while advancing a cultural political agenda that Kathrin Bower called “transnational humanism.” It includes notions of human rights consensus, critical self-reflection, respect, tolerance, and openness to cultural diversity. Promoting these values through comedy, the artists hope to contribute to abating prejudice and discrimination in Germany’s multi-ethnic society. Fusing the traditional theatrical principle of “prodesse et delectare” with contemporary cultural politics, these comedians produce something of political relevance: making their audience aware of its conceptions of “self” and “other” and fostering a sense of community across diverse cultural identifications. My thesis builds mainly on the works of Kathrin Bower, Maha El Hissy, Erol Boran, Deniz Göktürk, and Christie Davies. Whereas Davies denies humor’s potential for cultural impact, Göktürk elucidates its destabilizing power in immigrant films. Boran elaborates this function for Turkish-German Kabarett. El Hissy connects Kabarett, film, and theater of polycultural artists and ties them to Bakhtin’s concept of the carnivalesque and the medieval jester. Bower published several essays on the works of ethno-comedians as humorous catalysts for advancing a multiethnic Germany.

    Introduction Making, Experiencing and Managing Difference in a Changing Germany

    Introduction Making, Experiencing and Managing Difference in a Changing Germany Jan-Jonathan Bock and Sharon Macdonald In late August and early September 2015, thousands of asylum seekers from the Middle East were stranded in Hungary’s capital, Budapest. Many complained about heavy-handed mistreatment by the authorities, who also set up new ‘detention centres’ at the country’s southeastern border (Haraszti 2015; Kallius et al. 2016). When thousands of migrants left Budapest to march on a motorway towards Austria – and Germany – the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and her Austrian counterpart, Werner Faymann, took a far-reaching decision. Bypassing the ordinary rules of the EU’s shared asylum system, both leaders agreed to permit asylum seekers entry into their countries to process applications for pro- tection and combat human trafficking. Only two weeks previously, the discovery of seventy-one dead bodies in a locked van on the A4 motorway in Austria – the victims of trafficking – had illustrated the fatal conse- quences of Europe’s insufficient protection schemes for those fleeing con- flict elsewhere (den Heijer et al. 2016). The pressure on European leaders to act further increased after the highly publicized death of a young boy, Alan Kurdi, who drowned on his way to Europe. Images of his lifeless body, washed up on a Turkish beach, shocked the world.1 According to the EU’s Dublin Regulation, asylum seekers ought to apply for protection in the first EU country they reach. In most cases, these are Greece or Italy – two countries that, in the mid 2010s, struggled with unemployment and austerity, and from which asylum seekers sought to continue northwards (Lucht 2012; Redattore Sociale 2015; Trauner 2016).

    The Importance of Osthandel: West German-Soviet Trade and the End of the Cold War, 1969-1991

    The Importance of Osthandel: West German-Soviet Trade and the End of the Cold War, 1969-1991 Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Charles William Carter, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Professor Carole Fink, Advisor Professor Mansel Blackford Professor Peter Hahn Copyright by Charles William Carter 2012 Abstract Although the 1970s was the era of U.S.-Soviet détente, the decade also saw West Germany implement its own form of détente: Ostpolitik. Trade with the Soviet Union (Osthandel) was a major feature of Ostpolitik. Osthandel, whose main feature was the development of the Soviet energy-export infrastructure, was part of a broader West German effort aimed at promoting intimate interaction with the Soviets in order to reduce tension and resolve outstanding Cold War issues. Thanks to Osthandel, West Germany became the USSR’s most important capitalist trading partner, and several oil and natural gas pipelines came into existence because of the work of such firms as Mannesmann and Thyssen. At the same time, Moscow’s growing emphasis on developing energy for exports was not a prudent move. A lack of economic diversification resulted, a development that helped devastate the USSR’s economy after the oil price collapse of 1986 and, in the process, destabilize the communist bloc. Against this backdrop, the goals of some West German Ostpolitik advocates—especially German reunification and a peaceful resolution to the Cold War—occurred. ii Dedication Dedicated to my father, Charles William Carter iii Acknowledgements This project has been several years in the making, and many individuals have contributed to its completion.

    Nora Roberts

    ST. MARTIN’S PRESS ACQUIRES #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR NORA ROBERTS New York, NY, March 10, 2016 — #1 New York Times international bestselling author Nora Roberts has signed a six-book deal with St. Martin’s Press. Brokered by Amy Berkower, Chairman of Writers House, the deal places North American rights to one stand-alone novel, one trilogy, and two J.D. Robb books with Jennifer Enderlin, Senior Vice President and Publisher, and Sally Richardson, President and Publisher of St. Martin’s Press. “I’ve been reading Nora Roberts’s novels since getting hooked on Public Secrets twenty years ago, and I always race to get her books the minute they go on sale,” says Jennifer Enderlin. “I’ve known Nora since 1992, when I attended a writers’ retreat in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, and we stayed up until the wee hours with dozens of book-loving women. It’s such a privilege and a dream come true to work with an author who means so much to me both personally and professionally.” Nora Roberts, whom The New Yorker has called “America’s most popular novelist,” is the global bestselling author of more than 217 novels, including the "In Death" series, written under the pseudonym J.D. Robb. More than 500 million copies of her novels are in print today, and since her first bestseller in 1991, Nora’s books have spent a total of 1,052 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list—that’s equivalent to 20 consecutive years of weekly bestsellers. Her books have also spent a combined 202 weeks at the number one spot on the Times list, and have won numerous awards.
