Fast drei Jahre lebt die Familie Adt in Bangui, der Hauptstadt der Zentralafrikanischen Republik. Harro Adt ist dort Botschafter der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Die beiden heranwachsenden Kinder Katrin und Florian müssen ihren Weg in französisch-sprachigen Schulen finden. In langen Briefen berichtet die Autorin ihrer Mutter in Deutschland vom oft schwierigen, abenteuerlichen und ungewöhnlichen Leben als Frau des Botschafters in einem der ärmsten Länder der Welt. Sie hat wieder einmal ihren Beruf als Apothekerin aufgeben müssen; muss nun eine vernachlässigte Botschaftsresidenz wieder bewohnbar machen; Cocktails und Festessen für oft hunderte von Gästen unter einfachsten Bedingungen ausrichten; Hausdiener, Gärtner und Nachtwächter anleiten und betreuen – und auch vielseitige und ungewöhnliche Repräsentationspflichten erfüllen, die sie auch im Cocktailkleid in der Transall-Militärmaschine in den Busch führen können. Auf abenteuerlichen Fahrten im Geländewagen lernt die Familie afrikanische Dörfer ihres Gastlandes, Missionsstationen, Pygmäen, Urwald, Savanne und wilde Tiere kennen. Mit einem Schiffsverband voll afrikanischer Passagiere – Menschen, Tiere und Fische – fährt die Autorin mit ihrem Sohn Florian 1200 km auf den Flüssen Oubangui und Kongo von Bangui nach Brazzaville. Sie erleben als einzige weiße Passagiere afrikanisches Leben am Fluss und auf dem Schiff in seiner ganzen Lebendigkeit.

Hans Bossel, bei Kriegsbeginn junger Forstbeamter und Familienvater mit vier kleinen Kindern, erlebt den gesamten Zweiten Weltkrieg als Soldat der Wehrmacht, meist an der Front in Frankreich und Russland. Mehrfach verwundet, kehrt er erst 1947 aus der Kriegsgefangenschaft zurück. Zwischen 1931 und 1947 hält er seine Erlebnisse in täglichen Tagebucheinträgen fest, die in wesentli-chen Teilen in diesem Buch unverändert wiedergegeben sind, stellenweise ergänzt durch Tagebuchnotizen seiner Frau und andere Dokumente aus Kriegs- und Nachkriegszeit. Die Tagebücher haben die Entwicklungen jener Zeit aus der Sicht eines Augenzeugen festgehalten, der das täglich Erlebte knapp protokolliert, ohne zu wissen, was am nächsten Tag geschehen und wohin alles führen wird: die Verführung durch die NS-Ideologie, Siegestaumel am Kriegsbeginn, Tod und Zerstörung in erbitterten Kämpfen an der Front und im Bombenkrieg, Hunger und Verzweiflung nach dem ‚Zusammenbruch’. Die Tagebücher geben einen authentischen, oft erschütternden Einblick in Leben und Denken jener Zeit aus der Sicht eines unmittelbar Beteiligten. Sie sind aber auch anrührendes Dokument einer Liebe zweier Menschen, die sich trotz Krieg und jahrelanger Trennung ihren Traum von Familie und Frieden bewahrten.

Gertraude Bossel, 1900 in Dresden geboren und dort aufgewachsen, führte ihr Leben lang Tagebuch und schrieb in hohem Alter ihre Kindheits- und Jugenderinnerungen aus ihrer geliebten Heimatstadt auf. Die Arzttochter wächst mit den Privilegien "höherer Stände" in einem Stadthaushalt auf, wird auf einer Privatschule für "höhere Töchter" und später auf einer "Frauenschule" auf eine eher traditionelle Frauenrolle vorbereitet, entzieht sich dieser aber in den Nachkriegswirren des Ersten Weltkriegs, macht im Abendstudium ihr Abitur, studiert Kunstgewerbe, schlägt sich mit allerlei Jobs durch und promoviert später in Volkswirtschaft. Die scheinbar heile Welt ihrer Kindheit und Jugend zur Kaiserzeit im Königreich Sachsen ist geprägt von Standesunterschieden und den Vorstellungen des 19. Jahrhunderts, aber technische Neuerungen verändern bereits allmählich das tägliche Leben. Durch den Ersten Weltkrieg wird diese Welt völlig umgekrempelt. Nach Hungerjahren und Kriegselend geht es während der Inflationszeit nur noch ums Überleben. Der Text, sowie viele alte Fotografien und Tuschezeichnungen, die die Autorin als junge Kunststudentin im alten Dresden anfertigte, vermitteln ein authentisches Bild einer Epoche des Umbruchs in der im Zweiten Weltkrieg weitgehend zerstörten Stadt. Das Buch ist eine liebevolle Erinnerung an Menschen und Orte, Zeiten und Geschehnisse, die zwar längst vergangen sind, die aber unsere Geschichte bis heute prägen.

I'm Off Then has sold more than three million copies in Germany and has been translated into eleven languages. The number of pilgrims along the Camino has increased by 20 percent since the book was published. Hape Kerkeling's spiritual journey has struck a chord. Overweight, overworked, and disenchanted, Kerkeling was an unlikely candidate to make the arduous pilgrimage across the Pyrenees to the Spanish shrine of St. James, a 1,200-year-old journey undertaken by nearly 100,000 people every year. But he decided to get off the couch and do it anyway. Lonely and searching for meaning along the way, he began the journal that turned into this utterly frank, engaging book. Filled with unforgettable characters, historic landscapes, and Kerkeling's self-deprecating humor, I'm Off Then is an inspiring travelogue, a publishing phenomenon, and a spiritual journey unlike any other.

Included in the 2018 summer reading list by New York Times Books A modern-day glimpse into the surprising reality of life in Iran. Iran: A destination that is seldom seen by westerners yet often misunderstood. A country that simultaneously “enchants and enrages” those who visit it. A place where leading a double life has become the norm. In Couchsurfing in Iran, award-winning author Stephan Orth spends sixty-two days on the road in this mysterious Islamic republic to provide a revealing, behind-the-scenes look at life in one of the world’s most closed societies. Through the unsurpassed hospitality of twenty-two hosts, he skips the guidebooks and tourist attractions and travels from Persian carpet to bed to cot, covering more than 8,400 kilometers to recount “this world’s hidden doings.” Experiencing daily what he calls the “two Irans” that coexist side by side—the “theocracy, where people mourn their martyrs” in mausoleums, and the “hide-and-seek-ocracy, where people hold secret parties and seek worldly thrills instead of spiritual bliss”—he learns that Iranians have become experts in navigating around their country’s strict laws. Though couchsurfing is officially prohibited in Iran—the state fears spies would be able to travel undetected through the country—more than a hundred thousand Iranians are registered with online couchsurfing portals. And thanks to these hospitable, English-speaking strangers, Orth gets up close and personal with locals, peering behind closed doors and blank windows to uncover the inner workings of a country where public show and private reality are strikingly opposed.

Bertolt Brecht's extraordinary historical novel presents an aspiring scholar's efforts to write an idealized life of Julius Caesar twenty years after his death. But the historian abandons his planned biography, confronted by a baffling range of contradictory views. Was Caesar an opportunist, a permanently bankrupt businessman who became too big for the banks to allow him to fail – as his former banker claims? Did he stumble into power while trying to make money, as suggested by the diary of his former slave? Across these different versions of Caesar's career in the political and economic life of Rome, Brecht wryly contrasts the narratives of imperial progress with the reality of grasping self-interest, in a sly allegory that points to the Weimar Republic and perhaps even to our own times. Brecht reminds his readers of the need for constant vigilance and critical suspicion towards the great figures of the past. In an echo of his dramatic theories, the audience is confronted with its own task of active interpretation rather than passive acceptance -- we have to work out our own views about Mr Julius Caesar. This edition is translated by Charles Osborne and features an introduction and editorial notes by Anthony Phelan and Tom Kuhn.

In almost every area of production, German theatre of the past forty years has achieved a level of distinction unique in the international community. This flourishing theatrical culture has encouraged a large number of outstanding actors, directors, and designers as well as video and film artists. The dominant figure throughout these years, however, has remained the director. In this stimulating and informative book, noted theatre historian Marvin Carlson presents an in-depth study of the artistic careers, working methods, and most important productions of ten of the leading directors of this great period of German staging. Beginning with the leaders of the new generation that emerged in the turbulent late 1960s—Peter Stein, Peter Zadek, and Claus Peymann, all still major figures today—Carlson continues with the generation that appeared in the 1980s, particularly after reunification—Frank Castorf, Anna Viebrock, Andrea Breth, and Christoph Marthaler—and concludes with the leading directors to emerge after the turn of the century, Stefan Pucher, Thomas Ostermeier, and Michael Thalheimer. He also provides information not readily available elsewhere in English on many of the leading actors and dramatists as well as the designers whose work, much of it for productions of these directors, has made this last half century a golden age of German scenic design. During the late twentieth century, no country produced so many major theatre directors or placed them so high in national cultural esteem as Germany. Drawing on his years of regular visits to the Theatertreffen in Berlin and other German productions, Carlson will captivate students of theatre and modern German history and culture with his provocative, well-illustrated study of the most productive and innovative theatre tradition in Europe.
