Deutschland 1934. Die Nationalsozialisten festigen ihren Einfluss, auch das Bergsteigen bleibt davon nicht unberührt. Der Kampf um die Achttausender hat begonnen, am Nanga Parbat bahnt sich eine der größten Katastrophen in der Alpingeschichte an. Unter diesen Vorzeichen begegnen sich zwei außergewöhnliche Persönlichkeiten: Käthe Tietz Schmid und Hermann Hoerlin. Hoerlin ist einer der besten Bergsteiger seiner Zeit, ein aufstrebender Physiker und hoher Funktionär im Deutschen Alpenverein, der sich mit aller Macht gegen die Nazifizierung von Wissenschaft und Vereinskultur stemmt. Käthe Tietz Schmid bildet zusammen mit ihrem Mann, dem renommierten Journalisten Willi Schmid, einen Fixstern der intellektuellen Münchner Bourgeoisie. Die beiden unterstützen die deutsche Nanga-Parbat-Expedition mit ihrer Pressearbeit, als zwei Tragödien ihren Lauf nehmen: Am 1. Juli wird Willi Schmid während des Röhm-Putschs von den Nationalsozialisten ermordet - als Opfer einer Namensverwechslung. Wenige Tage später beginnen die Nachrichten von den tragischen Ereignissen am Nanga Parbat einzutreffen, an deren Ende die Expedition mit insgesamt zehn Toten nahezu ausgelöscht und der Nanga Parbat als Schicksalsberg der Deutschen ins kollektive Gedächtnis eingebrannt ist. In dieser Situation wird Hermann Hoerlin zu Hilfe gerufen und kommt nach München. So lernen sich die beiden kennen. Eine hollywood-taugliche Liebesgeschichte beginnt, die vor dem realen geschichtlichen Hintergrund schnell an Kitsch verliert: Käthe Schmid ist jüdischer Herkunft, für eine gemeinsame Zukunft müssen sie Deutschland verlassen. Eine packende Lebens- und Liebesgeschichte, die den Terror des Nationalsozialismus, die Erfahrung der Emigration bis hin zu den Bedrohungen des Kalten Krieges unmittelbar miterleben und die heroische Zeit des Bergsteigens in neuem Licht erblicken lässt. Mit zahlreichen unveröffentlichten Abbildungen. Übersetzt und überarbeitet vom renommierten deutschen Alpinhistoriker Jochen Hemmleb.

Julius Payer gehört zu den größten und bedeutendsten Entdeckern Österreichs und zu den ganz wenigen österreichischen Polarfahrern von Weltrang. Sein bewegtes, spannendes und abenteuerliches Leben wird anlässlich seines 100. Todestages in dieser detailliert recherchierten und umfangreich bebilderten Biografie nachgezeichnet. Der im nordböhmischen Kurort Teplitz-Schönau geborene Payer war ein Mann mit vier Karrieren. Als Alpinist führte er innerhalb von fünf Jahren 21 Erstbesteigungen im Adamello-Presanella-Gebiet und 38 Erstbesteigungen im Ortler-Gebiet durch. Als Polarfahrer entdeckte er im Zuge einer spektakulären Expedition, die mehr als einmal auf des Messers Schneide stand, neue Gebiete in Nordostgrönland (1869/1870) und auf Franz-Josef-Land (1873/1874). Als Schriftsteller verfasste er die geografischen Grundlagenwerke zu fünf Gebieten der Ostalpen und landete mit seinem polaren Reisebericht einen österreichischen Bestseller des 19. Jahrhunderts. Als Historienmaler war er außerdem mit seinen Monumentalgemälden für kurze Zeit weltberühmt.

This riveting love story, revolving around two extraordinary individuals, plays out against some of the most profound markers of the 20th century: Hitlers Germany, the American immigrant experience and growing threats of the nuclear age. Hermann Hoerlin and Kate Tietz Schmid meet in 1934; he, a handsome world record-holding mountaineer and aspiring physicist, is a staunch anti-fascist and she, part of Munichs intellectual and musical elite, is a stunning widow whose husband was murdered by the Nazis. To have a future together, Hoerlin (as she called him) and Kate must flee Germany. Standing in their way is a major obstacle, the Nuremberg Laws, prohibiting relationships between Aryans and Jews. Against formidable odds and with the direct assistance of a few good Nazis, Kate and Hoerlin manage to marry and immigrate to the United States. However, as enemy aliens during World War II, they face new adversities. Life finally returns to normal with the help of influential friends, including a connection with Eleanor Roosevelt. And, in a strange twist, Hoerlin contributes to the war effort with his extensive European mountaineering maps that help guide Allied reconnaissance missions. In 1953, Hoerlin and Kate pull up stakes again, moving to the Atomic City of Los Alamos where Hoerlin works at the forefront of the first nuclear test ban treaty. Again, he is brought under scrutiny, this time because of McCarthyism and Hoerlins links with the American left-wing. The book spans an era from the rise of Nazism, when a diabolic dictator sets out to annihilate Jews, to the depths of the Cold War, when weapons of mass destruction threaten to annihilate humankind. In their remarkable odyssey, Kate and Hoerlin befriend cultural and scientific icons such as the philosopher Oswald Spengler, cellist Pablo Casals, conductor Wilhelm Furtwangeler, painter Georgia OKeefe and Nobel prize-winning physicist Hans Bethe. Their daughter, Bettina Hoerlin, draws on a treasure trove of over 500 love letters and previously untapped archival records to create a universal tale of courage.

In 1970 a German-Austrian-Italian (South Tyrolean) team succeeded in climbing the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, a climb which heralded a new era in mountaineering on the worlds highest peaks. But with success cam controversy as the first climbers to reach the summit, two young South Tyrolean brothers, did not return to the top face camp but descended the other side, the Diamir side, of the mountain. Only one brother survived the ordeal: he was Reinhold Messner who went on to become the greatest, and best known, high-altitude climber in the world. His brother Gunther was lost on the mountain. Before descending the Diamir side Reinhold Messner held a shouted conversation with the members of the second pair of climbers heading for the summit. That conversation, the decision to descend the Diamir side, and the circumstances of Gunther Messers death were to lead to controversy, claim and counter claim, and court cases. They were also to lead to bitterness between former team mates which continues to this day. This book explores the events of 1970, drawing on contemporary diaries and other records, on later interviews given by, and books written by, the team members, and on private conversations with some of the surviving team members. It draws heavily on the writings of Reinhold Messner who has published several accounts of the summit climb and the decisions which led to the descent of the Diamir side, accounts which have varied over the years, variations that suggest a story behind the story.

“Marvelously entertaining, exciting and informative.” —Guardian “An engaging and accessible history.” —New York Review of Books This group biography is “an exhilarating page-turner” and “outstanding critical introduction” to the work and legacy of the Frankfurt School, and the great 20th-century thinkers who created it (Washington Post). In 1923, a group of young radical German thinkers and intellectuals came together to at Victoria Alle 7, Frankfurt, determined to explain the workings of the modern world. Among the most prominent members of what became the Frankfurt School were the philosophers Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Marcuse. Not only would they change the way we think, but also the subjects we deem worthy of intellectual investigation. Their lives, like their ideas, profoundly, sometimes tragically, reflected and shaped the shattering events of the twentieth century. Grand Hotel Abyss combines biography, philosophy, and storytelling to reveal how the Frankfurt thinkers gathered in hopes of understanding the politics of culture during the rise of fascism. Some of them, forced to escape the horrors of Nazi Germany, later found exile in the United States. Benjamin, with his last great work—the incomplete Arcades Project—in his suitcase, was arrested in Spain and committed suicide when threatened with deportation to Nazi-occupied France. On the other side of the Atlantic, Adorno failed in his bid to become a Hollywood screenwriter, denounced jazz, and even met Charlie Chaplin in Malibu. After the war, there was a resurgence of interest in the School. From the relative comfort of sun-drenched California, Herbert Marcuse wrote the classic One Dimensional Man, which influenced the 1960s counterculture and thinkers such as Angela Davis; while in a tragic coda, Adorno died from a heart attack following confrontations with student radicals in Berlin. By taking popular culture seriously as an object of study—whether it was film, music, ideas, or consumerism—the Frankfurt School elaborated upon the nature and crisis of our mass-produced, mechanized society. Grand Hotel Abyss shows how much these ideas still tell us about our age of social media and runaway consumption.
