Vom Bergmann, Beamten, Lehrer, Journalisten bis hin zum Gastprofessor - dies und mehr sind Marksteine im beruflichen Leben eines 'Dresdners mit Herz und Grips'. Er überlebte das Dresden-Inferno 1945, während ein Grossteil seiner Verwandtschaft dabei den Tod fand. Und im sogenannten Goldenen Westen musste er mit fast allen nur denkbaren Höhen und Tiefen fertig werden, doch dank seiner 'Steinbock-Mentalität' konnte er dem Schicksal trotzen. Dabei stand ihm stets seine 'Waage-Frau' zur Seite - seit nunmehr fünfzig Jahren. Als 'Abenteurer mit Verstand' gelangte er in fast jeden Winkel der Welt, worüber er ebenso berichtet wie über seine namhaft gewordenen Bücher. Trotz seines bizarren Lebensweges war ihm jedoch nie seine geliebte Geburtsstadt aus dem Sinn gegangen - Dresden, wo er 1936 das Licht der Welt erblickte.

For the past 140 years, Germany has been the central power in continental europe. Twenty-five years ago a new German state came into being. How much do we really understand this new Germany, and how do its people understand themselves? Neil MacGregor argues that, uniquely for any European country, no coherent, overarching narrative of Germany's history can be constructed, for in Germany both geography and history have always been unstable. Its frontiers have constantly shifted. Königsberg, home to the greatest German philosopher, Immanuel Kant, is now Kaliningrad, Russia; Strasbourg, in whose cathedral Wolfgang von Geothe, Germany's greatest writer, discovered the distinctiveness of his country's art and history, now lies within the borders of France. For most of the five hundred years covered by this book Germany has been composed of many separate political units, each with a distinct history. And any comfortable national story Germans might have told themselves before 1914 was destroyed by the events of the following thirty years. German history may be inherently fragmented, but it contains a large number of widely shared memories, awarenesses, and experiences; examining some of these is the purpose of this book. MacGregor chooses objects and ideas, people and places that still resonate in the new Germany—porcelain from Dresden and rubble from its ruins, Bauhaus design and the German sausage, the crown of Charlemagne and the gates of Buchenwald—to show us something of its collective imagination. There has never been a book about Germany quite like it.

At the beginning of Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke's novel A Moment of True Feeling, Gregor Keuschnig awakens from a nightmare in which he has committed murder, and announces, "From today on, I shall be leading a double life." The duplicity, however, lies only in Keuschnig's mind; his everyday life as the press atache for the Austrian Embassy in Paris continues much as before: routine paperwork, walks in the city, futile intimacies with his family and his mistress. But Keuschnig is oblivious to it all, merely simulating his previous identity while he searches for a higher significance, a mystical moment of true sensation which can free him from what the novel calls life's "dreadful normalcy." Convinced that, if he fails, life's meaning will be revealed to him only when it is too late, he looks for portents everywhere. Keuschnig's search takes him through all of Paris. At every step, his feelings are interwoven with acute observation of its streets, buildings, cafes, parks, sky. It is an intimate and evocative journey, in a city that is at once supportive and familiar, strange and provocative.

Going to the Dogs is set in Berlin after the crash of 1929 and before the Nazi takeover, years of rising unemployment and financial collapse. The moralist in question is Jakob Fabian, “aged thirty-two, profession variable, at present advertising copywriter . . . weak heart, brown hair,” a young man with an excellent education but permanently condemned to a low-paid job without security in the short or the long run. What’s to be done? Fabian and friends make the best of it—they go to work though they may be laid off at any time, and in the evenings they go to the cabarets and try to make it with girls on the make, all the while making a lot of sharp-sighted and sharp-witted observations about politics, life, and love, or what may be. Not that it makes a difference. Workers keep losing work to new technologies while businessmen keep busy making money, and everyone who can goes out to dance clubs and sex clubs or engages in marathon bicycle events, since so long as there’s hope of running into the right person or (even) doing the right thing, well—why stop? Going to the Dogs, in the words of introducer Rodney Livingstone, “brilliantly renders with tangible immediacy the last frenetic years [in Germany] before 1933.” It is a book for our time too.

The definitive story of the shocking and controversial Allied bombing of Dresden 'In narrative power and persuasion, he has paralleled in Dresden what Antony Beevor achieved in Stalingrad' Independent on Sunday 'Well-researched and unpretentious ... fascinating ... Taylor skilfully interweaves various personal accounts of the impact of the raids' Guardian At 9.51 p.m. on Tuesday 13 February 1945, Dresden's air-raid sirens sounded as they had done many times during the Second World War. But this time was different. By the next morning, more than 4,500 tons of high explosives and incendiary devices had been dropped on the unprotected city. At least 25,000 inhabitants died in the terrifying firestorm and thirteen square miles of the city's historic centre, including incalculable quantities of treasure and works of art, lay in ruins. In this portrait of the city, its people, and its still-controversial destruction, Frederick Taylor has drawn on archives and sources only accessible since the fall of the East German regime, and talked to Allied aircrew and survivors, from members of the German armed services and refugees fleeing the Russian advance to ordinary citizens of Dresden.

Originally published in German in 1931 and in an expurgated English translation in 1932, this novel is the tale of Jacob Fabian, a Berlin advertising copywriter doomed in the context of economic, ethical, and political collapse by his characteristic mixture of detachment and decency. Fabian is a middle-of-the-road liberal, an Enlightenment rationalist, a believer that the public condition reflects prevailing private moralities, and a skeptic toward all ideological nostrums. Richly detailed and vividly plotted, Fabian remains an unparalleled personalization of the collapse of the Weimar Republic. This new edition restores the deleted sections considered too explicit for the original publication. It also includes Kastner's epilogue, which had been rejected by the original publisher, the preface added by the author to the 1952 German reissue, and an informative foreword by the scholar Rodney Livingstone.

Die Deutsche Biographische Enzyklopädie (DBE) liegt jetzt in einer vollständigen Neuausgabe vor und gibt Auskunft über rund 63.000 Personen, die durch ihren Lebensweg, ihr Wirken, ihre Leistungen, ihre Taten und Untaten bis heute bemerkenswert erscheinen und zur kulturellen Erinnerung der Deutschen gehören. Dazu zählen Personen aus allen Bereichen des öffentlichen Lebens. In die bis ins frühe Mittelalter zurückreichende Enzyklopädie sind auch Österreicher und deutschsprachige Schweizer sowie Ausländer aufgenommen, deren Lebensweg sie in deutsche Länder geführt hat und deren Wirken sich in ihnen entfaltet hat. Die Artikel der ersten Ausgabe inklusive der Nachträge wurden grundlegend überarbeitet und aktualisiert und rund 7.500 Artikel neu aufgenommen. Sie enthalten alles Wesentliche zu den Personen, in übersichtlicher Form: Herkunft, Bildungsweg, prägende Begegnungen, berufliche Entwicklung, Wirkungsstätten, bezeichnende Werke und Leistungen, Freundschaften und Beziehungen, Zugehörigkeit zu Gruppen und Vereinigungen, Rezeption sowie in besonderen Fällen Preise und Ehrungen. Zusammenhänge und Beziehungen zwischen Personen, Familien und sozialen Gruppen sowie Traditionen und Denkschulen werden durch das weiter verfeinerte System von Querverweisungen zwischen den Artikeln veranschaulicht. Am Ende des Artikels wird in der Regel eine weiterführende lexikalische Literaturangabe genannt. 1.300 Artikel sind von anerkannten Fachleuten verfasst und namentlich gekennzeichnet. Sie würdigen ausführlich Leben und Wirken herausragender Persönlichkeiten und werden in der Regel durch Abbildungen der porträtierten Personen hervorgehoben. Die Angaben zu den Personen und die Hinweise auf weiterführende Literatur sind auf dem aktuellen Stand der biographischen Forschung, so dass ein unverzichtbares Personenlexikon entstanden ist, das in keiner Bibliothek fehlen sollte. Zur optimalen Erschließung der alphabetisch sortierten Bände bietet das Personenregister in Band 11 alle Namen von historisch fassbaren Personen, die in den Bänden 1-10 einen eigenen Artikel haben oder im Text genannt sind. Die Namensvarianten, Geburtsnamen, Pseudonyme etc. werden durch ein Verweissystem aufgeschlüsselt. Das Ortsregister in Band 12 führt die in den Artikeln erwähnten Orte alphabetisch auf, mit Hinweisen auf Geburts-, Wirkungs- und Sterbeort. Orte gleichen Namens werden durch Zusätze wie die Kreiszugehörigkeit gekennzeichnet. Bei Orten in ehemals deutschen oder österreichischen Gebieten wird der Name in der jetzigen Landessprache hinzugefügt.
