GermanyDescription:
Berlin's hip present comes up against the city's dark past in these seven supernatural tales by the son of the great filmmaker who "shares his father's curious and mordant wit" (The Financial Times). In these hair-raising stories from the celebrated filmmaker and author Rudolph Herzog, millennial Berliners discover that the city is still the home of many unsettled—and deeply unsettling—ghosts.

Hauptsache nichts mit Menschen by Paul Bokowski DE
Description:
Es liegt nicht unbedingt an Berlin, dass Paul Bokowski von einer absurd-komischen Begegnung in die nächste schlittert. Es liegt vielmehr in der Natur der Menschen, dass man viel Eigenartiges mit ihnen erleben kann. Mit seinen Eltern beispielsweise, einer wildfremden Dame, die ihm völlig ungefragt Vorträge über Backrezepte hält, oder aber auch gerne mit sich selbst: Sei es, dass der passionierte Hypochonder angesichts einer drohenden Mandel-OP Dutzende von Abschiedsbriefen verfasst oder beim Möbelkauf in eine unvergessliche Weihnachtsfeier von IKEA gerät. Paul... continue

How German Is It by Walter Abish EN
AustriaDescription:
Ulrich Hargenau testifies against fellow members of a German terrorist group in order to save himself and his wife, Paula, and contemplates the nature of his German heritage. The question How German Is It underlies the conduct and actions of the characters in Walter Abish's novel, an icy panorama of contemporary Germany, in which the tradition of order and obedience, the patrimony of the saber and the castle on the Rhine, give way to the present, indiscriminate fascination with all things American. On his return from Paris to his home city of Würtenburg, Ulrich Hargenau, whose father was execu... continue
