Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five plays collected in this volume provide a representative sampling of the Austrian contemporary Volksstuck (folk play). The Volksstuck which has its origins in the eighteenth century has become a favorite genre of modern Austrian playwrights because of its tradition of treating basic social problems critically and realistically. The timeless universal drives of greed, power, and inhumanity remain the dominant themes of the modern Volksstuck as they were of the older version. These Selections -- Veza Canetti, The Ogre; Peter Preses/Ulrich Becher, Our Mr. Bockerer; Peter Turrini, Swine; Felix Mitterer, No Place for Idiots; Gerald Szyszkowitz, Friedemann Puntigam -- are available in English for the first time.

Book excerpt: Zauner's A Handful of Earth describes an ambitious domineering woman who gains her financial goals but, like Brecht's Mother Courage, at the cost of her entire family; Elfriede Jelinek's President Evening Breeze, based loosely on a folk play by Johann Nestroy, the acknowledged nineteenth-century master of the form, is a political satire on the career of Kurt Waldheim, the former president of Austria; Peter Rosei's Blameless presents ordinary people as the subject of history; it shows how the media as representatives of commercial culture, popularize and often trivialize serious current issues.

Book excerpt: This second volume of Austrian Folk Plays gives further evidence of the popularity of this form among contemporary writers.

Twenty-one essays consider the national image of Austria, both historically and in the current period. They examine the view of Austria projected in the writings of American, Austrian, and German authors, ranging from the late 19th century to the present. Attention is given to factors such as the country's natural beauty, the tradition of the monarchy, and pressing political and social problems. Name index only.

Book excerpt: This second volume of Felix Mitterer's plays in English trans-lation offers further evidence of this dramatist's powerful artistry. A mythological Wild Woman changes the lives of five wood-cutters, exposing their loneliness and desperation. Home reiterates the dictum that "you can't go home again", especially where prej-udice, brutality, and hatred reside. An historical drama based on actual court records, Children of the Devil depicts institutional superstition and cruelty as perpetuated upon the most vulnerable members of society, its children. One Everyman is a modern ver-sion of the traditional medieval morality play, complete with a Devil from Wall Street, while the Biblical analogy, Abraham, concerns the scourge of AIDS -- but even more, the love between a father and his son. The Austrian playwright Felix Mitterer, born in 1948 in the Tyrol, is one of today's leading European dramatists. His two four-part television series, "Piefke-Saga" and "Verkaufte Heimat" were seen by millions of viewers in the German-speaking coun-tries.

Book excerpt: Kolleritsch transforms what might appear to be a timeworn "historical" theme into a semi-autobiographical statement about the present as the evil from the past latently and semiconsciously pervades the present. The scars on Joseph's body from his past are rediscovered in the virtually unreformed lives of his fellow countrymen."--Jacket.

Book excerpt: For centuries, Vienna had been the imperial residence and capital of the great multi-lingual, multi-national Habsburg Empire, and thus a magnet for the accumulation of power, prestige, wealth, and beauty. However, it is self-evident that not everyone could or should reside in the capital, that many talented authors, whether by choice or by chance, lived outside that glamorous city, in Kafka's words, far from the Imperial sun. At the outset of the twenty-first century, with technological advancements in transportation and communication with international publishing houses and chain bookstores, with e-mail and the Internet, for example is there any social, political, economic, or professional advantage to residing in Vienna, or has it become irrelevant today where artists live? Are their life experiences notably different, whether they reside in the capital or in any other city, large or small? Are authors choices of language or themes influenced by their provincial backgrounds? Thus the idea of "Beyond Vienna" is a compelling and timely topic. This volume will attempt to address these questions, while serving as an introduction to nine authors poets, novelists, and dramatists and their relationships to the capital: Xaver Bayer, Alois Brandstetter, Gloria Kaiser, Christine Lavant, Anna Mitgutsch, Felix Mitterer, Elisabeth Reichart, Vladimir Vertlib, and Friedrich Ch. Zauner. The contributors are respected scholars who were personally invited to join this project and who ultimately determined which authors would be included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of a film culture originally starved of funds have emerged rich and eclectic works by film-makers that are now achieving the international recognition that they deserve: Barbara Albert, Michael Haneke, Ulrich Seidl, and Stefan Ruzowitzky, to give four examples. This comprehensive critical anthology, by leading scholars of Austrian film, is intended to introduce and make accessible this much under-represented phenomenon. Although the book covers the full development of the Austrian new wave it focuses on the period that has brought it global attention: 1998 to the present. New Austrian Film is the only book currently available on this topic and will be an essential reference work for academics, students and filmmakers, interested in modern Austrian film.

Book excerpt: The essays collected here demonstrate the range and significance of this major literary voice, addressing Jelinek as a master of modernist prose, of postmodern critiques of literary genres, of stage and screen, and of feminist and antifascist criticism. Jelinek's oeuvre encompasses reworkings of older literary genres (reminiscent of Joyce Carol Oates), refashioned as contemporary criticism of domestic violence, pornography, oppression of women, or the continuance of the fascist legacy in the everyday world of contemporary Austria and Germany. Her experiments on the stage and screen are as eerily evocative as the works of Robert Wilson, yet deliver trenchant political and social critiques, as their shared modernist and postmodern agendas would require.

Book excerpt: It is this case that he has been called upon to investigate and report upon in detail to the Abbot, but his work as a detective, while in its own right interesting and remarkable, is only the pretext for a wide-ranging psychological and spiritual investigation of the condition of postwar Austria: its consumer society, its transformation of religion and history into tourism, and, most important, its failure to look itself squarely in the eye."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Austria's government, her writers, and, most disappointingly, her universities were without effect in bracing Austria's people against the Anschluss, and indeed may have hastened it. Once the Anschluss was a fait accompli most Austrians accommodated as German citizens, but some resisted, either in civil disobedience or in active opposition, especially late in the war.

Book excerpt: "Fritz Hochwalder's Holocaust: Court for the Dead features a clandestine court, inquiring into the guilt or innocence of Jewish leaders involuntarily enmeshed in the deportation of fellow Jews to the death factories of the Third Reich. It is perhaps the drama closest to Hochwalder's central concern as an author, the ethical conduct of human beings. The play is based on historical events in Budapest in 1944-45 in which the SS offered to barter the lives of a million Jews for the delivery of 10,000 trucks. Selective use of background facts along with the construction of a dramatically effective plot put Hochwalder's drama into the "must read" category. It is the only play about the Holocaust in which Jews do not fight the oppressor but hold court for one of their own, who in spite of good intentions may have gone too far."--BOOK JACKET.
