hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Before World War I, the United States were home to a flourishing German culture. German-Americans were the biggest and most successful ethnic group all over the Midwest. But this culture was wiped out forever by a fury of an anti-German hysteria after America had entered the war. Overzealous American patriots renamed Sauerkraut 'Liberty Cabbage', slaughtered dachshunds, and eradicated the German language from American schools, churches, and newspapers. They changed the names of towns, burned books, destroyed libraries, threatened priests, forced German-Americans to buy war bonds and to kiss the star spangled banner. Vigilantes tarred and feathered and, in some cases hanged German-born immigrants falsely suspected of being spies. 'Burning Beethoven' shines a light on that dark chapter of American history.'It is amazing and fascinating to read how much energy and time is spent in times of war to declare everything bad and hostile coming from the enemy' side---be it music, language or culture ; fortunately in most cases only with a temporary effect as we know today. Beethoven would indeed roll over in his grave.A very riveting and well-written book with the timeless message that culture is not the culprit.'Rainer Hasters, executive director of RIAS Berlin Commission'A powerful retelling of an often forgotten piece of American history that remains as relevant today as it did a century ago'Stephen Fuchs, Founder of German Pulse'A fascinating account of a forgotten witch-hunt that damaged America in that it ran counter to its values and also deprived it of its rich German heritage.'- David Crossland, author of the best-selling novel 'The Jewish Candidate' Burning Beethoven is an incredible story most people have never heard of. It's interresting to read how Americans went all out against the powerful German ethnic community during World War I and sheds a light on why Americans of German descent were forced to sever their ties to Germany.'- Cherno Jobatey, Editorial Director Huffington Post Germany and author of 'Fit wie ein Turnschuh'.

'Burning Beethoven' shines a light on that dark chapter of American history.Cover Copy, deutsch:Burning Beethoven explores how a flourishing culture in America was wiped out by an eruption of anti-German hysteria during World War I, when excessively patriotic Americans eradicated the German language from schools, churches, libraries, and newspapers. Germans made up the biggest, proudest, and most successful ethnic group but became targets of hate, and sometimes victims of tarring and feathering-even vigilante hangings. Zealous Americans slaughtered dachshunds and renamed sauerkraut 'liberty cabbage'-the 'freedom fries' of that era. This book sheds light on a dark chapter of American history.Berlinica Publishing UG, Gaudystr. 7, 10437 Berlin 176 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Rocking the Wall explores the epic Bruce Springsteen concert in East Berlin on July 19, 1988, and how it changed the world. Erik Kirschbaum spoke to scores of fans and concert organizers on both sides of the Berlin Wall, including Jon Landau, Springsteen's long-time friend and manager, to unearth this fascinating story. With lively behind-the-scenes details from eyewitness accounts, magazine and newspaper clippings, TV recordings, and even Stasi files, as well as photos and memorabilia, this gripping book transports you back in the middle of those heady times shortly before the Berlin Wall fell and gives you a front-row spot at one of the biggest and most exciting rock concerts ever, anywhere. It takes you to an unforgettable journey with Springsteen through the divided city, to his hotel, and his dressing room at the open air concert grounds in Weissensee, where The Boss, live on stage, delivered a courageous speech against the Wall to a record-breaking crowd of more than 300,000 delirious young East Germans full of joy and hope. Their thunderous reaction to his speech was so intense that it even briefly brought tears to Springsteen's eyes. And their tremendous, powerful cry for freedom became the 'final nail in the coffin' of the Communist regime and subsequently helped fuel the uprising that brought down the Wall.Inside this book is as clear a statement of the power of this music as anyone, ever, has come up with.'Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone music critic'An illuminating and impressively detailed examination of a frequently overlooked moment in the nexus of rock music and political liberation. I learned a great deal and enjoyed doing so.'Eric Alterman, author of It Ain't No Sin to Be Glad You're Alive: The Promise of Bruce SpringsteenBerlinica Publishing LLC offers English-language books from Berlin, German; fiction, non-fiction, travel guides, history about the Wall and the Third Reich, Jewish life, art, architecture and photography, as well as travel guides and cookbook.

Das Buch begleitet den Leser auf eine unvergessliche Reise mit Springsteen durch die geteilte Stadt bis zum dem Open-Air-Gelände in Berlin-Weißensee, wo der Boss, auf der Bühne, eine mutige Rede gegen die Mauer hielt, während ihm eine alle Rekorde brechende Zuschauermenge von mehr als 300.000 begeisterten jungen Ostdeutschen zujubelte.Inside this book is as clear a statement of the power of this music as anyone, ever, has come up with.' -Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone music critic 'An illuminating and impressively detailed examination of a frequently overlooked moment in the nexus of rock music and political liberation.

Young East Germans wanted their rock and roll;-Tris McCall, The Star Ledger, New Jersey'.a glorious example of the influence that rock 'n' roll can have on people who are hungry and ready for change.'-Michelle Martin for The Washington PostKirschbaum is convinced it was the most politically important rock concert ever held.

The regime of the German Democratic Republic is not.Stephen Evans, the BBCIn telling the back story of how the concert came to be, 'Rocking the Wall' also offers a fascinating historical snapshot of East German Communist cultural officials scrambling to contain the brewing political restlessness all around them. Vanessa Fuhrmanns, The Wall Street Journal 'Once in a while you play a place, you play a show that ends up staying inside of you, living with you for the rest of your life,' he said. 'East Berlin in 1988 was certainly one of them.'Kate Connolly, The Guardian'What was intended by East Berlin's hard-line leadership as a pacifier for their people, Kirschbaum argues, had the opposite effect and turned into a powerful agent for change.'Derek Scally, The Irish Times'It was like a brief embrace with the Statue of Liberty.''Global Post.
