Download or read book Herta Müller written by Bettina Brandt and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two languages--German and Romanian--inform the novels, essays, and collage poetry of Nobel laureate Herta Müller. Describing her writing as "autofictional," Müller depicts the effects of violence, cruelty, and terror on her characters based on her own experiences in Communist Romania under the repressive Nicolae Ceau?escu regime. Herta Müller: Politics and Aesthetics explores Müller's writings from different literary, cultural, and historical perspectives. Part 1 features Müller's Nobel lecture, five new collage poems, and an interview with Ernest Wichner, a German-Romanian author who has traveled with her and sheds light on her writing. Parts 2 and 3, featuring essays by scholars from across Europe and the United States, address the political and poetical aspects of Müller's texts. Contributors discuss life under the Romanian Communist dictatorship while also stressing key elements of Müller's poetics, which promises both self-conscious formal experimentation and political intervention. One of the first books in English to thoroughly examine Müller's writing, this volume addresses audiences with an interest in dissident, exile, migration, experimental, and transnational literature.

Book excerpt: "This piece is part of a series of attempts to make sense of a place, of a culture, of a system. How can something so small as a passport be so defining of someone’s life experience? Is the commodification of nature still a symptom of a colonialist process? Using the format of a passport, I collected stickers from fruits and vegetables that I consumed in my first months in the US; I had recently gone through the process of having to apply for a visa. The stamp I got in my passport is the reason I can be here now. Eating and sleeping in a different land than the one where I was born and grew up in. Eating the fruits grown in a land much more like my own. We both -- me and the fruits -- traveled and crossed borders. I designed pages with mountains and palm trees, reflecting the landscape I now see every day. I bound these pages together. On the [first page], one sentence from Frantz Fanon is split in two: “the settler’s town is a well-fed town / its belly is always full of good things.”"--from publisher
Book Synopsis The Fox Was Ever the Hunter by : Herta Müller
Download or read book The Fox Was Ever the Hunter written by Herta Müller and published by Metropolitan Books. This book was released on 2016-05-10 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An early masterpiece from the winner of the Nobel Prize hailed as the laureate of life under totalitarianism Romania-the last months of the Ceausescu regime. Adina is a young schoolteacher. Paul is a musician. Clara works in a wire factory. Pavel is Clara's lover. But one of them works for the secret police and is reporting on all of the group. One day Adina returns home to discover that her fox fur rug has had its tail cut off. On another occasion it's the hindleg. Then a foreleg. The mutilated fur is a sign that she is being tracked by the secret police-the fox was ever the hunter. Images of photographic precision combine into a kaleidoscope of terror as Adina and her friends struggle to keep mind and body intact in a world pervaded by complicity and permeated with fear, where it's hard to tell victim from perpetrator. In The Fox Was Always a Hunter, Herta Müller once again uses language that displays the "concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose"-as the Swedish Academy noted upon awarding her the Nobel Prize-to create a hauntingly cinematic portrayal of the corruption of the soul under totalitarianism.
Book Synopsis Traveling on One Leg by : Herta Müller
Download or read book Traveling on One Leg written by Herta Müller and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1998-11-11 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protagonist of Herta Muller's Traveling on One Leg is Irene, a fragile woman born to a German family in Romania, who has recently emigrated from Romania to Germany. The novel focuses on Irene's relationship with three men: Franz, whom she met in Romania and who was unwilling to respond to her love for him; Stefan, a friend of Franz's; and Thomas, a bisexual bookseller in perpetual crisis. Despite being born to a German family, Irene's place in Germany is as a recent emigre and an unassimilated Romanian German. She feels neither longing for Romania nor any comfort in her newly adopted Germany. Politically and socially isolated, Irene moves within the emotional orbit of these three men, while at the same time moving between West Berlin, Marburg, and Frankfurt, taking a dissonant journey within strange yet familiar territory. Characterized by the same sense of profound isolation found in Muller's The Land of Green Plums (see page 20), Traveling on One Leg is a poignant exploration of exile, homeland, and identity.

Book Synopsis Father's on the Phone with the Flies by : Herta Müller
Download or read book Father's on the Phone with the Flies written by Herta Müller and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To create the poems in this collection, Nobel Prize-winner Herta M ller cut up countless newspapers and magazines in search of striking phrases, words, or even fragments of words, which she then arranged in a the form of a collage. Father's on the Phone with the Flies presents seventy-three of M ller's collage poems for the first time in English translation, alongside full-color reproductions of the originals. M ller takes full advantage of the collage form, generating poems rich in wordplay, ambiguity, and startling, surreal metaphors--the disruption and dislocation at their core rendered visible through stark contrasts in color, font, and type size. Liberating words from conformity and coercion, M ller renders them fresh and invests them forcefully with personal experience. Sure to thrill any fan of contemporary literature, Father's on the Phone with the Flies is an unexpected, exciting work from one of the most protean writers ever to win the Nobel.
Download or read book Herta Müller written by Brigid Haines and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a critical companion to the works of Herta Müller, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2009. Müller (1953-) is a Romanian-German novelist, essayist and producer of collages whose work has been compared with that of W.G. Sebald and Franz Kafka. The Nobel Committee described her as a writer 'who, with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose, depicts the landscape of the dispossessed'. In works such as Niederungen (Nadirs), Herztier (The Land of Green Plums), Reisende auf einem Bein (Traveling on One Leg), and Atemschaukel (The Hunger Angel), all written in German but translated worldwide, Müller addresses vital contemporary issues such as dictatorship, migration, memory, and the ongoing legacy of fascist and communist rule in Europe. Her works are written in a rich, poetic language which imbues them with great power and depth. They exceed national boundaries and have universal appeal; they speak to a global audience attuned to political oppression and its lasting effects. This volume, containing contributions by an international team of scholars, introduces the work of one of Europe's foremost contemporary writers to a world audience. Individual chapters deal with Müller's major works and her volumes of collages. Other chapters explore her poetics and the Romanian background as well as themes, such as gender and life writing, running throughout her work, and her worldwide reception through the media and the medium of translation.

Book excerpt: If the supposed origin of our Species Sapiens, is to be found out into the triad of under pressing of surviving, as Hunter – Fisher – Gatherer (including those of Scavenger), then, the triad of creator of tools, as Tool – maker, as Tool – user and Tool – improver, must be unconditioned put together… …Also, dynamic activity of our ancestors in struggle for existence, in surviving of the best, in increasing reproduction, in learning and relearning of the instinct and intuition in living in groups, in clans, and in tribes, put them into environment (physical and abstract alike), in using and reusing a language of cooperation and understanding, in fact a proto-language of those harsh conditions in surviving through many, many adversities… …Millions years later, in our developing of industrial environment, through villages, through stronghold cities, through streets of communications and transportation, through the protection of the state, or state empire or state of superpower, extending the human culture and civilization overall upon the world and also in our outer-space of Mother Earth, the Species of our SAPIENTOHUMAN, has reached out the level of self–overcoming in all areas of modern creativity, whatever in industry, in agriculture, in art, or philosophy, in theology or psychology, in education and learning processes… Our book, REPLICATION HERTA MÜLLER, is trying to make and remake a smallest copy of all of it, by playing and replaying the individual history and biography of a child within a small village somewhere in Eastern Europe, then in a big metropolis in Western Europe, till de laurels of highest prize in literature… Rewriter of History

Book excerpt: Could be translated the quasi-untranslatable form of human creation, namely those in art of poetry, which is the deepest pulses and impulses of our inwards origins, those deeper which can not be known, which are beyond of our area of investigating, of analyzing, even through the addition of psychoanalysis?... Could be rewritten through an individuality, something which is primarily pre-written or proto-written, through the powerful tools of the Species Sapiens itself, in its triad of abstract development, those of articulated language, of symbol alphabet and of abstract thinking, creator of the greatest jump from nature to culture?... Could be reset the whole of triad of Sapiens evolution, Archaic Sapiens – Premodern Sapiens – Modern Sapiens, assuming about 500.000 years long of evolution, co- evolution, synergetic evolution and revolution, through a life of creativity asserted somewhere around the 50 years of real creativity?... With other words, could be done within 50 years of powerful creativity in modern human or SAPIENTOHUMAN, a correlation with the age of whole Sapiens (biologic + ontologic), assumed at the age of 500.000 years long, i.e., with 10.000 times bigger, of general over individual?... Our combination book of philosophy, of anthropology, of sapientology and poetry, is making or remaking a such endeavour, a such daring, through the sensing and re-sensing of SAPIENTOHUMAN, or better says of ANTHROPOSAPIENTOHUMAN, in dreaming of oneself towards of another level of fulfilment and overcoming… Script of Anthroposapientohuman
Book Synopsis The Secret Police Dossier of Herta Müller by : Valentina N. Glajar
Download or read book The Secret Police Dossier of Herta Müller written by Valentina N. Glajar and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2023-02-21 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Herta Müller should share her Nobel with the Securitate." This comment by a former officer in the Romanian secret police, or Securitate, was in reaction to hearing that Müller, a German writer originally from Romania, had won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. Communist Romania's infamous secret police was indeed a protagonist in Müller's work, though an undesired and dreaded one: most of her writings are deeply and explicitly anchored in Ceaușescu's Romania and her own traumatic experiences with the Securitate. Müller's file traces her surveillance from 1983 until after she emigrated to West Germany in 1987. She has written extensively in reaction to reading her file, but primarily addresses its gaps, begging the question what information the file does in fact contain"--

Book excerpt: 'I know you'll return.' These are his grandmother's last words to him. Leo has them in his head as he boards the truck to Russia one freezing mid-January morning in 1945. They keep him alive - through hunger, pain, and despair - during his time in the Gulag. And, eventually, they will bring him back home. Mller has distilled Leo's struggle into words of breathtaking intensity that take us on a journey far beyond one man's physical travails and into the depths of the human soul.
