1. Rowohlt Berlin Deutschland à la française
Pascale Hugues is French and has lived in Berlin for many years. In "Deutschland à la française," she writes about everyday life, language, and the mentality in this country that feels both familiar and slightly foreign to her. She observes the small details and finds the larger significance within them. Curiously, she strolls through the streets and parks, listens to conversations, and explores the peculiarities on both sides of the Rhine. Everything is interesting, from the presidential palace to the garbage cellar, the strange word "Brustwarze," how people have dinner, how they answer the phone, how they strike, and at what point politicians are considered corrupt. She also examines clichés for their true essence. Are Germans really that orderly and the French so laid-back? Where does the German soul reveal itself? And when does the French esprit come to light? A clever, knowledgeable, and humorous book from the perspective of an author.
2. Rowohlt Berlin Die Schlange im Wolfspelz
What is the secret of good style, and how does language become literature? Michael Maar explores this question in his main and lifelong work, which he has been reading for forty years. What is mannerism, what is jargon, and what pitfalls do almost everyone fall into? How must the elementary particles interact for the perfect prose sentence? Maar reveals who can write dialogues and who cannot, why Hölderlin is overrated and Rahel Varnhagen is underrated, why a continent of style would collapse without the Austrian Jews, why Kafka is an alien, and why only Heimito von Doderer comes close to Thomas Mann. In fifty portraits, from Goethe to Gernhardt, from Kleist to Kronauer, he unfolds, in passing, a history of German literature.
3. Rowohlt Berlin Wenn Lehrer Grenzen überschreiten
When Britta Rotsch is in the 12th grade, a teacher begins writing her love letters. She is 18 at the time, he is in his late 50s and married. He sends Britta intimate emails. On one hand, she finds this repulsive, but on the other hand, she doesn't ask him to stop. Britta's relationship with her parents is strained, and she tells no one about the teacher's letters—she feels seen during a difficult phase of her coming of age, yet completely overwhelmed. Today, she wonders how abusive this relationship was and how much responsibility she bears. But above all, she wants to know: Who else does this happen to? Britta Rotsch is not alone with these experiences. After reporting on it in various media, countless women wrote to her, sharing similar experiences from their school days. In her book, Britta Rotsch examines boundary violations in schools from different perspectives. She speaks with those affected, with teachers, and with officials in the institutions, asking how to recognize and prevent this daily abuse of power.
