Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After the First World War, the Berlin theater critic Alfred Kerr travels to America and Great Britain. Kerr, who calls New York the 'greatest city in the world', visits the Broadway theaters and Wall Street, marvels at the subway, Times Square and Grand Central Station. He writes about Eugene O'Neill's The Hairy Ape, talks to the satirist Henry Louis Mencken, the railroad magnate W. Averell Harriman - banking partner of the Bush family - and Adolph Ochs, the publisher of the New York Times. In London, he meets the poet George Bernard Shaw. But the book, written concisely and wittily, is much more than just a travelogue. After the war, when the mood in America and England became extremely hostile towards Germany, when German professors were dismissed and propaganda films agitated against Germany, Kerr is on a mission to explore the situation and ask for understanding and help for the fragile Weimar democracy.…

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'.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rocking the Wall explores how the epic Bruce Springsteen concert in East Berlin on July 19, 1988, changed the world. Erik Kirschbaum spoke to scores of fans and concert organizers including Jon Landau, Springsteen's long-time manager. With lively behind-the-scenes details from eyewitness accounts, newspaper clippings, and even Stasi files, this book takes you to an unforgettable journey with Springsteen through the divided city, to 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. Rocking the Wall ist dem legendären Bruce-Springsteen-Konzert in Ost-Berlin am 19. Juli 1988 gewidmet, das die Mauer erschütterte und die Welt veränderte. Erik Kirschbaum sprach mit Dutzenden von Fans und mit Veranstaltern in Ost und West, darunter Jon Landau, Springsteens Manager und Freund. Er schildert Szenen hinter den Kulissen und Erinnerungen von Leuten, die dabei waren, er hat Presse und Fernseh-Aufzeichnungen ausgewertet und sogar die Berichte der Stasi, die das Konzert im Auge hatte. 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. 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 Springsteen'It was cultural forces, not merely political or military ones, that won the Cold War for the West, and which may yet spring more oppressive regimes from the tyranny of the old and joyless. 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. His book makes a strong case that historians should explore Springsteen's impact in fuelling the revolution.David Crossland, Der SPIEGEL, GermanySpringsteen is still with us. 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.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Our West Berlin! The beloved urban island where bars and pubs were open all night so the locals could plot the revolution! Where beer was cheap and sausage on a roll was considered dinner. Where the tenements still bore bullet holes from World War II, and the draft did not exist. Where the city government regularly stumbled over some real estate scandal and where the Communist-controlled S-Bahn train did not run (mostly). Where old-timers, Turkish immigrants, and students from West Germany lived side by side without much talking to each other, where winter smelled like coal, and summer smelled like weed. This book is devoted to this half-city, surrounded by the Wall, which ceased to exist in 1989. Two dozen authors who are, or were living in Berlin have contributed stories, from JFK touring Checkpoint Charlie to squatters at the Wall. It is a book for those who remember, and for those who wish they did.…
