Product details

The first supplementary volume fills important gaps in the annotated collected works published in individual volumes, which were caused by the death of the editor Traugott Krischke. "Himmelwärts" contains prose from the estate of Ödön von Horváth that was originally intended for the planned but never published Volume 15 of the collected works. The content of the volume is divided into two main groups. First, the trio of "Himmelwärts," "Charlotte," and "Reise ins Paradies," in which a somewhat "different" Horváth is revealed: the three fragments depict grotesque, ultimately failed journeys to happiness. In "Himmelwärts," the main character Christian Schlamperl encounters the strangest figures on his world journey and ultimately finds himself before the Minister of War. The fragment "Reise ins Paradies" is a time travel story with an automobile; "Charlotte" is the novel of a waitress, in whose fate the historical events of the early 20th century are reflected. The Munich Oktoberfest takes on grotesque-anarchic features here: "The blood flowed together with the beer, and the bouncers carried corpses out of the hall. It was very cozy." The second main part summarizes newly discovered prose works by Horváth for film, radio, and stage.
