Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diese Ausgabe von "Der Wilde Freiger" wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert. Aus dem Buch: "Der deutsche Michel hatte im Völkermorden des Weltkrieges das Träumen verlernt. Er stand da, einsam und stark. Trotzig, mit gespreizten Beinen trat er in den Kampf und Wettbewerb des Friedens. Er mußte zurückerobern, was er durch jahrelange, stahlharte Friedensarbeit erreicht und was der Krieg ihm zerstört hatte, wie ein rauher Holzfällerstiefel, der in einen Ameisenhaufen tritt. Kopf hoch und die Hemdärmel geschürzt! In die schwieligen Hände gespuckt! Hei! wie die Funken stoben! Ein ungeahnter internationaler Wettbewerb setzte in der Flugzeugindustrie ein. Ein atemraubendes Rennen und Tasten nach Erfolgen, die sich täglich, ja stündlich überboten. Es war nicht zu leugnen, daß Deutschland hier ins Hintertreffen geraten war. Schon im letzten Drittel des Weltkriegs, vor dem Zusammenbruch, konnte sich die deutsche Militärverwaltung nicht verhehlen, daß die feindliche Fliegerwaffe sowohl an Zahl als auch an Güte der einzelnen Typen der deutschen zeitweise überlegen war. Der Deutsche bei seiner Gründlichkeit und fachwissenschaftlichen Präzision bedurfte einer längeren Zeit der einzelnen Fortentwickelungen, und dazu traten die ungeheuren Schwierigkeiten der Materialbeschaffung, 13 die namentlich für die Motorenlieferung sehr oft unangenehme Ueberraschungen brachten. Nur die erstaunliche Organisation der deutschen Fliegerwaffe, die Tüchtigkeit der Flugzeugbesatzungen und die unglaublichsten Anstrengungen der Industrie vermochten es, im Wettbewerb kraftvoll hervorzutreten. Der Deutsche vollbrachte es, denn er wollte es vollbringen." Roland Betsch (1888-1945) war ein deutscher Ingenieur, Schriftsteller, Erzähler und Dramatiker.
Download or read book The German Historical Novel since the Eighteenth Century written by Daniela Richter and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The historical novel is a genre which has enjoyed widespread popularity in Germany from its beginnings in the eighteenth century. At that time, increased literacy among the middle and lower classes had resulted in a greater demand for reading material aimed at a general audience. Because of its educational and entertaining characteristics, the historical novel quickly became a dominant genre among other forms of popular literature. To this day, it constitutes a major sector on the German book market and is, together with popular TV series, documentaries, and museum exhibits, an important part of German Geschichtskultur. This collection of essays looks at aesthetic and thematic continuities, as well as changes in the development of the genre in Germany from the late eighteenth century to the present, and gives insights into the novels’ political and socio-cultural implications. The articles investigate historical novels from writers such as Benedikte Naubert, the ‘mother’ of German historical fiction, nineteenth-century popular writers Georg Ebers and Hermann Sudermann, modern writers such as Alfred Döblin, Hermann Hesse, and Hermann Broch, post-Wende works such as those by Thomas Brussig, Christa Wolf, and Ingo Schulze, and contemporary historical fiction by Sabine Weigand, Eveline Hasler and Petra Durst-Benning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises the revised versions of selected papers read at the International Conference on the Ancient Novel (Groningen, July 2000). The papers cover a wide range of scholarly issues that were prominent in the programme of the conference, and feature the most recent approaches to research on the ancient novel. The essays combine judicious use of literary theory with traditional scholarship, and examine the ancient novels and related texts, such as Oriental tales and Christian narrative, both in their larger, literary, cultural and social context, and as sources of inspiration for Byzantine and modern fiction. This book is important not only for classicists and literary historians, but also for a general public of those interested in narrative fiction.

Download or read book History Fiction and Germany written by Brent Orlyn Peterson and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the content, development, and transmission of German identity during the nineteenth century as Germany's national narrative took shape in historical fiction and in both popular and academic history. The German-speaking inhabitants of central Europe did not automatically think of themselves as "Germans"--not before 1871 and not always after unification. In fact, they spoke mutually incomprehensible dialects, owed allegiance to different leaders, worshiped in different churches, and would not have recognized each other's customs. If asked about their identity, these prospective Germans might have answered Austrian, Bavarian, or Prussian, and they could as easily have used more local labels or resorted to occupational markers. For this disparate population to think of itself as "German," that word had to acquire content--people had to learn a whole set of stories they could tell themselves and to others in answer to the question of identity. History, Fiction, and Germany chronicles how German nationalism developed simultaneously with the historical novel and the field of history, both at universities and in middlebrow reading material. The book examines Germany's emerging national narrative as nineteenth-century writers adapted it to their own visions and to changing circumstances. These writers found and popularized the nation's heroes and heroines, demonized its villains and enemies, and projected the nation's hopes and dreams for the future. Author Brent O. Peterson argues that it was the production and consumption of national history--the writing and reading of the nation--that filled Germany with Germans. Although the task of national narration was never complete and never produced a single, universally accepted version of German national identity, tales from Germans' gradually shared history did more to create Germany than any statesman, general, or philosopher. History, Fiction, and Germany provides a valuable resource for scholars and students of German studies, as well as anyone interested in history and the articulation of national identity.

Download or read book Roman in Englisch deutscher Perspektiven written by Susanne Stark and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2000 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Novel in Anglo-German Context focuses on cross-currents and affinities between fiction written in English and fiction written in German, and the thirty-one contributors to this volume cover authors from the eighteenth century to the present day. The essays collected in this book approach the theme of Anglo-German cultural cross-fertilisation from a number of different angles. These include the reception and translation of foreign authors, the examination of exile writers, the comparative exploration of aspects which are crucial to both German, Austrian or Swiss and British or Irish novelists at a given point in time, the fictional depiction of the respective other culture, Anglo-German images in the novel, as well as the role of the novel in the curricula of German and British secondary education. The topics chosen by the contributors offer stimulating views on a wide range of subject areas, and the volume is essential reading for anyone with a broad interest in Anglo-Irish, German, Austrian and Swiss literature, the development of fiction as well as Anglo-German literary and cultural relations.

Download or read book Writing History as a Prophet written by Elisabeth Wesseling and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1991-01-01 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a postmodernist history of the historical novel with special attention to the political implications of the postmodernist attitude toward the past. Beginning with the poetics of Sir Walter Scott, Wesseling moves via a global survey of 19th century historical fiction to modernist innovations in the genre. Noting how the self-reflexive strategy enables a novelist to represent an episode from the past alongside the process of gathering and formulating historical knowledge, the author discusses the elaboration of this strategy, introduced by novelists such as Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner, in the work of, among others, Julian Barnes, Jay Cantor, Robert Coover and Graham Swift.Wesseling also shows how postmodernist writers attempt to envisage alternative sequences for historical events. Deliberately distorting historical facts, authors of such uchronian fiction, like Thomas Pynchon, Ishmael R. Read, Salman Rushdie and Gunter Grass, imagine what history looks like from the perspective of the losers, rather than the winners.
