Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, einseitig bedruckt, Note: 2,0, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (Institut für Germanistik), Veranstaltung: Neue Sachlichkeit am Beispiel der Frontromane über den 1. Weltkrieg, 13 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bei diesem Roman handelt es sich um eine Gruppe von acht Soldaten, die während des ersten Weltkrieges in den Krieg ziehen. Der Protagonist "Paul Bäumer" schildert der ganzen Welt, was Krieg aus menschlicher Perspektive bedeutet. Er beschreibt die Grausamkeiten dieses zerstörerischen Phänomens aus dem Blickwinkel dieser jungen Soldaten, die im Alltag des Krieges mit harter Arbeit, Schmutz, Kälte, Hungernot und ständiger Angst vor dem Sterben konfrontiert sind. Man erfährt von ihren einfachen menschlichen Bedürfnissen, z. B. ihrer Sehnsucht nach einem Stück echten Brot. Man liest über einen sehr jungen sterbenden Soldaten namens "Kemmerich" mit schmalen Schultern und weichen schönen Haare, dessen Bein amputiert wurde und der kurz vorher voller Lebenskraft der beste Schüler seines Klassenzimmers war und der sehr gute Aufsätze schreiben konnte. Man erfährt von dem sachlichen Soldaten "Müller", der die Stiefel eines sterbenden Kameraden haben will, bevor es so spät ist, weil er mehr Anrecht darauf habe als ein Sanitäter, oder von dem älteren Soldaten "Katczinsky" mit dem sechsten Sinn, der sich mit seiner Führungskraft um seine jüngeren Kameraden kümmert und ihnen einigermaßen Geborgenheit gibt, "Tjaden", ein Bettnässer, mit großem Appetit, der auch geizig ist und trotzdem schenkt er ab und zu einem Kameraden eine Zigarette. So beweist er seinen Sinn für Kameradschaft, die ein wichtiger Faktor zum Überleben ist.Der Leser liest über den Urlaub und den Heimatbesuch des Protagonisten "Paul Bäumer" und sein Wiedersehen mit seinem vertrauten Zuhause, mit seiner Mutter, seinen Schwestern, seinen persönlichen Sachen und die stille Schwermut, die in dieser Atmosphäre herrscht, als ob es sein Abschiedsbesuch für immer wäre.Der Roman schildert den spannenden Kampf der Soldaten um das Überleben in jenem monströsen Krieg, einen Kampf, der zum Scheitern verurteilt ist.Remarques sensationeller Antikriegsroman "Im Westen nichts Neues" wird am 31 Januar 1929 von Ullstein-Verlag veröffentlicht. Der Roman macht ihn über Nacht zu einem weltberühmten Schriftsteller und einem reichen Mann. Das Buch ist ein internationaler Bestseller. Während der schlechten wirtschaftlichen Nachkriegszeit haben die Buchhändler nach der Veröffentlichung dieser Kriegsliteratur alltäglich Hochbetrieb. Sie lässt sich millionenfach verkaufen.Die Frage ist, woran liegt die Attraktivität dieser Kriegsliteratur, von der sich die ganze Welt angezogen fühlte und immer noch fühlt?

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Germanistik - Neuere Deutsche Literatur, Note: 2,3, Universität Bremen, Veranstaltung: Der erste Weltkrieg im modernen Roman, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Roman „Im Westen nichts Neues“ von Erich Maria Remarque ist 1929 in Buchform erschienen. Es handelt sich um einen Kriegsroman, der das Leben und Überleben des jungen Kriegsfreiwilligen Paul Bäumer im 1. Weltkrieg erzählt. Beschrieben werden hauptsächlich die Schrecken des Krieges in allen Formen und Ausführungen. Der Roman ist nicht autobiographisch zu lesen – auch wenn dies durchaus möglich wäre. Paul Bäumer und seine Klassenkameraden ziehen freiwillig in den Krieg, weil ihnen von Autoritäten wie ihrem Lehrer aber auch von ihren Eltern die Illusion vermittelt wurde, dass der Krieg etwas Großartiges sei. Sie können dort zu Helden und zu „echten Männern“ werden – und das wollen die Jungen. Wer nicht mitzieht, gilt leicht als feige, was besonders unmännlich ist. In dieser Arbeit soll untersucht werden, inwiefern die jungen Soldaten auf ihrem Weg durch den Krieg tatsächlich zu Männern und Helden werden und wie man es ihnen anrechnet. Gleichzeitig soll aber auch herausgearbeitet werden, wie die Realität des Krieges die Illusionen der Soldaten und damit auch ihre Werte, ihre Vergangenheit und ihre Zukunft zerstört.

Book excerpt: Der bedeutendste deutsche Roman zum Ersten Weltkrieg in einer Neuausgabe mit einem umfassenden Nachwort zur Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte in der textkritisch durchgesehenen Fassung der Erstausgabe. Das Buch zum Oscar-prämierten Netflix-Film. Mit diesem Roman begründete Erich Maria Remarque seinen Weltruhm und schuf ein zeitlos gültiges Bild der Schrecken des modernen Krieges. Zum hundertsten Jahrestag des Kriegsbeginns 1914 erscheint eine besonders ausgestattete, mit einem Nachwort von Thomas F. Schneider, Leiter des Remarque-Friedenszentrums der Universität Osnabrück, zur Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte versehene Sonderausgabe. Die Geschichte des neunzehnjährigen Paul Bäumer, der als ahnungsloser Kriegsfreiwilliger von der Schulbank an die Front kommt, ist inzwischen Allgemeingut. Auch bei der erneuten Lektüre ist der Eindruck jedoch wieder erschütternd: Wie Bäumer statt der erhofften Kriegsbegeisterung und eines kurzen Abenteuers die ganze Brutalität des Gemetzels und das sinnlose Sterben seiner Kameraden erlebt, ist anrührend und empörend. »Ein vollkommenes Kunstwerk und unzweifelhafte Wahrheit« Stefan Zweig

Book excerpt: A closer look at genealogy, incorporating how biological, anthropological, and technical factors can influence human lives We are at a pivotal moment in understanding our remote ancestry and its implications for how we live today. The barriers to what we can know about our distant relatives have been falling as a result of scientific advance, such as decoding the genomes of humans and Neanderthals, and bringing together different perspectives to answer common questions. These collaborations have brought new knowledge and suggested fresh concepts to examine. The results have shaken the old certainties. The results are profound; not just for the study of the past but for appreciating why we conduct our social lives in ways, and at scales, that are familiar to all of us. But such basic familiarity raises a dilemma. When surrounded by the myriad technical and cultural innovations that support our global, urbanized lifestyles we can lose sight of the small social worlds we actually inhabit and that can be traced deep into our ancestry. So why do we need art, religion, music, kinship, myths, and all the other facets of our over-active imaginations if the reality of our effective social worlds is set by a limit of some one hundred and fifty partners (Dunbar’s number) made of family, friends, and useful acquaintances? How could such a social community lead to a city the size of London or a country as large as China? Do we really carry our hominin past into our human present? It is these small worlds, and the link they allow to the study of the past that forms the central point in this book.

Book excerpt: For more than seventy years Erich Maria Remarque's startlingly realistic and intensely moving anti-war novel All Quiet on the Western Front has remained a worldwide best seller. A political and literary sensation when it was first published, Remarque's masterpiece was banned and burned in the 1930s by the Nazis. Remarque was forced to flee Germany, and eventually, in 1939, he immigrated to America. Haunted by the horrors of Nazi Germany and embittered by his exile from the country he loved, Remarque strove to protect his privacy. In Hollywood glamour, in wealth, in the fame gained by successive hits like Arch of Triumph, Remarque hid his torment and buried his fears. Love, too, held its woes for Remarque. He was tortured by the infidelities of his first wife, whom he divorced and then remarried to save her from the Nazis. A turbulent, long-running affair with Marlene Dietrich, who helped him escape war-torn Europe, was followed by romantic liaisons with some of the film world's most seductive stars like Greta Garbo, Dolores de Rio, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Paulette Goddard, who became his second wife. The portrait that emerges is as extravagantly lit by romance as it is shadowed by anguish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating look at history's losers-the myths they create to cope with defeat and the steps they take never to be vanquished again History may be written by the victors, Wolfgang Schivelbusch argues in his brilliant and provocative book, but the losers often have the final word. Focusing on three seminal cases of modern warfare-the South after the Civil War, France in the wake of the Franco-Prussian War, and Germany following World War I-Schivelbusch reveals the complex psychological and cultural reactions of vanquished nations to the experience of military defeat. Drawing on responses from every level of society, Schivelbusch shows how conquered societies question the foundations of their identities and strive to emulate the victors: the South to become a "better North," the French to militarize their schools on the Prussian model, the Germans to adopt all things American. He charts the losers' paradoxical equation of military failure with cultural superiority as they generate myths to glorify their pasts and explain their losses: the nostalgic "plantation legend" after the fall of the Confederacy; the cult of Joan of Arc in vanquished France; the fiction of the stab in the back by "foreign" elements in postwar Germany. From cathartic epidemics of "dance madness" to the revolutions that so often follow battlefield humiliation, Schivelbusch finds remarkable similarities across cultures. Eloquently and vibrantly told, The Culture of Defeat is a tour de force that opens new territory for historical inquiry.

Book excerpt: This book examines the presentation of, and attitudes to, the Second World War in post-war West German prose fiction. The fierce public reactions which some of these works provoked at the time of their publication are taken into account in this study since their reception provides a picture of the psychological relationship West Germany had with its wartime past in the immediate post-war period and beyond. Writers of Unterhaltungsliteratur and Trivialliteratur are often studied within their own genre, but, this book sets such writers alongside their canonical colleagues. This approach opens up the possibility of considering whether the strategies adopted to influence contemporary society, to reflect that society and to come to terms with the Second World War are determined by the classification of these works as Kitsch or Kunst. The authors included are Alfred Andersch, Heinrich Böll, Hans Hellmut Kirst, Heinz G. Konsalik, Theodor Plievier and Erich Maria Remarque. The selected works deal specifically with the German soldier and officer, the fighting fronts, the home front and the connections between the German army and the National Socialist regime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to provide a history of Jewish writing and thought in the German-speaking world. Written by 119 of the most distinguished scholars in the field, the book is arranged chronologically, moving from the eleventh century to the present. Throughout, it depicts the unique contribution that Jewish writers have made to German culture and at the same time explores what it means to be the "other" within that mainstream culture. The contributors view German-Jewish literature as a historical and cultural phenomenon, from a wide array of critical perspectives. Many essays focus on significant social and political events that affected the relationship between Germans and Jews; others concentrate on a particular genre, author, group of writers, cultural debate, or literary movement. Entries include an account of the crusades in 1096, a treatment of Jewish mysticism in the Renaissance, a unique seventeenth-century memoir by a woman, the description of a meeting between Heinrich Heine and Karl Marx in 1843 and discussions of works by such twentieth-century luminaries as Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schnitzler, Joseph Roth, Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, Elias Canetti, Hermann Broch, Hannah Arendt, Theodor Adorno, and Peter Weiss. By analyzing how individuals and groups defined and expressed themselves as Jewish against the background of a dominant German culture, the contributors bring out the vital currents and crucial moments in two interlocking yet contradictory cultural histories in Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Published in 1929, Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on The Western Front stands as the very epitome of a timeless antiwar novel. Grounded in the writer's own experiences serving in the German army during World War I, the novel gives voice to Remarque's pacifist sentiments through its deeply affecting portrayal of footsoldier Paul Baumer, the book's sensitive yet disillusioned antihero. All Quiet, which on publication achieved resounding artistic and popular success in Germany, France, and the United States, remains a classic rendition of the tragedy of war, a stunning commentary on the importance of human life over the political and military squabblings of nations." "With this first book-length study of All Quiet on the Western Front, scholar Richard Arthur Firda offers readers an expertly crafted, supremely accessible guide to exploring and interpreting Remarque's masterpiece. Commencing with a section that places the novel in its historical and literary context, the study furnishes useful background information on the writer's life and career. "A Reading" then presents a careful analysis of All Quiet - its autobiographical elements, its style and characterization, and its two sequels. Of special note is the book's astutely drawn concluding section, "A Wider Context," which looks at Remarque's works following his exile from Nazi Germany and his subsequent residency in Switzerland and the United States; considers the widely heralded 1930 American film adaptation of All Quiet; and assesses the novel in relation to other German war fiction of the period. An engrossing, long-needed examination of a masterwork of world literature, All Quiet on the Western Front: Literary Analysis and Cultural Context represents a singular resource for students, scholars, and general readers."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
