This volume is dedicated to the complex "Love for Europe" and consists largely of previously unpublished essays and reports. The journalist reports on social and political experiments in Russia and Sweden, describes everyday life in Nazi Germany and the Baltic states. She comments on focal points of political events such as the German invasion of Austria and evokes culture and landscape in France and Portugal as a symbiosis threatened by the circumstances of the time. Annemarie Schwarzenbach can also be discovered as a film and literature critic. Whether it is an atmospherically dense travel essay or a documentary and politically astute report: both bear the unmistakable signature of this engaged cosmopolitan.
