Die Familie siedelte 1929 nach Berlin um. Dort besuchte er das Gymnasium. Im Herbst 1938, kurz nach dem Abitur, wurde er verhaftet und nach Polen deportiert, wo er ab 1940 im Warschauer Getto leben musste. Anfang 1943 gelang ihm zusammen mit seiner Frau Teofila die Flucht aus dem Getto in den Warschauer Untergrund. Seine Eltern und sein Bruder wurden von den Nationalsozialisten ermordet. Zunächst im Polnischen Diplomatischen Dienst tätig, fand er seine Berufung schließlich in der Literatur. Er arbeitete für Zeitungen, im Rundfunk und als Übersetzer. 1958 siedelte Reich-Ranicki in die Bundesrepublik Deutschland über. Er lebte von 1959 bis 1973 in Hamburg, dann zog er nach Frankfurt am Main. Er war für die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ), Die Welt und die Wochenzeitung Die Zeit als Literaturkritiker tätig und gehörte von 1958 bis 1967 als solcher der Gruppe 47 an. 1968 war er Gastprofessor für deutsche Literatur des 20. Jahrhunderts an der Washington University in St. Louis (USA) und 1969 am Middlebury College (USA). Von 1971 bis 1975 lehrte er als ständiger Gastprofessor für Neue Deutsche Literatur an den Universitäten Stockholm und Uppsala. Ab 1974 war er Honorarprofessor an der Universität Tübingen, in den Jahren 1991/92 bekleidete er die Heinrich Heine-Gastprofessur an der Universität Düsseldorf. Marcel Reich-Ranicki war Ehrendoktor der Universitäten Uppsala (1972), Augsburg (1992), Bamberg (1992), Düsseldorf (1997), Utrecht (2001) und München (2002).

July 2024Darwyne
Thriller
by Colin Niel, Thomas Wörtche, Anne Thomas
In Bois Sec, einem kleinen, elenden Slum im Amazonasgebiet von Französisch-Guayana, lebt der zehnjährige Darwyne mit seiner Mutter Yolanda. Yolanda ist schön, stark und klug. Darwyne ist klein, ein wenig körperlich beeinträchtigt und meistens schmutzig. Er möchte so sehr von seiner Mutter geliebt werden, sie aber hält ihn für ein Monster. Sieben ihrer Liebhaber sind bis jetzt spurlos im Dschungel verschwunden. Ein achter, Jhonson, taucht gerade auf. Auch er bekommt keinen Draht zu Darwyne. Im Gegensatz zu Mathurine, einer Sozialarbeiterin, die versteht, dass Darwyne eine besondere Beziehung zur Natur hat, anscheinend mit den Tieren und den Pflanzen kommunizieren kann und dass er in der Tat »anders« ist, irgendetwas zwischen den Spezies. Und ihr drängt sich mit der Zeit der Verdacht auf, dass Darwyne womöglich mit dem Verschwinden der ersten sieben Lover etwas zu tun hat. Nach einem dramatischen Erdrutsch, der den Slum vernichtet, fliehen Yolanda und Jhonson ‒ ausgerechnet in den Dschungel ...

De val van het communisme in het Oostblok
by Jule Hinrichs
November 2014 saw the quarter-century anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, one of the most poignant events in the past century. The inhabitants of Berlin broke the graffiti-covered concrete down with hammers or pickaxes and climbed over the wall. The historic milestone was followed on televisions around the world. After forty years of separation between communism and capitalism, the Iron Curtain opened on November 9th 1989. Which economic and political developments preceded this event? The arrival of Gorbachev in 1985 ushered in the Glasnost period. With this, hope for more liberty of action in Eastern Europe grew in satellite states such as Poland and Hungary. In 1989, the Communists in Hungary decided to hold free elections. In the summer of that year, the same happened in Poland. That same summer, the Hungarians began to remove the barbed wire at the Hungarian-Austrian border. Through this gap, East Germans fled en masse from Hungarian campsites to the West. It was the prelude to the dramatic decision of the GDP to open the border on November 9th 1989.

HistoryJune 2014Seks, drugs en rock en roll in de gouden eeuw
by Benjamin Roberts
In Seks, Drugs en Rock 'n' Roll in de Gouden Eeuw (‘Sex, Drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll in the Golden Age’), historian Benjamin B. Roberts paints a fascinating portrait of the lives of young men int he first half of the seventeenth century. He describes the riotous behaviour of prominent figures such as Rembrandt – born in 1606 – and brings the values of his rebellious peers to life. Roberts convincingly demonstrates that young men rebelled then as they do now, and moved against previous generations. They grew out their hair, wore outrageous clothes, smoked, drank too much, got into fights with the city guards, cheated, and sang bawdy songs. This accessibly written book paints a vivid portrait of youth culture in the Golden Age; a time when the advent of printing allowed for a rapid spread of a culture of permissiveness. The spread of liberal ideas, together with the rising incomes, created a new generation of ‘bad boys’. Using hilarious examples, Roberts shows that deviant behaviour is timeless.

Antisemitisme - een 21e eeuwse geschiedenis
by Remco Ensel
Where does freedom of speech end and do insults, threats, and hate speech begin? Why does a rapper sing that more Muslims than Jews were killed during the Holocaust? This book addresses the 21st century wave of anti-Semitic incidents in the streets and on the internet, the distortions of historic commemoration in our country and the problems with education about the Holocaust. It is an incisive analysis of a multicultural drama in which anti-Jewish statements play a crucial role. By going back in time, Remco Ensel puts the new anti-Semitism in the context of post-war history of protest and provocation. From the student protests in the sixties to the Second Intifada, from ‘zionazi’ to ‘Adolf Sharon’, the Rushdie affair to Mohammed B. The book is based on extensive archival research in Morocco and the Netherlands and on conversations with journalists and politicians, such as Bertus Hendriks, Job Cohen, Elatik Fatima Ahmed Marcouch, Ronny Naftaniel and many others.

Science: general issuesSeptember 2007De sublieme eenvoud van relativiteit
Een visuele inleiding
by Sander Bais
Bais wrote a cute pictorial monograph that smoothly takes you to the very heart of the theory that shook the foundations of science a century ago. Einstein’s 1905 papers on special relativity marked a turning point in our understanding of such fundamental notions a space, time, mass and energy. In an elegant sequence of easy to follow steps through a splendid series of spacetime diagrams Sander Bais gives you the thrill of discovering Einstein’s sublime but extremely counter intuitive reality yourself. The chapters cover subjects like , the postulates, simultaneity, causality, contractions and dilations, and energy and momentum. Discover in a pictorial way why moving clocks run slow, why things cannot move faster then the speed of light, or why mass and energy are equivalent… A delightful journey for the curious mind, the critical student, and the teacher who wants to inspire, but also for all those who want to recapture this beautiful body of knowledge. This book is not as much a philosophical or historical reflection on special relativity, as a manual that with a few words brings you the essential contents of this unique theory. A guided tour full of thought provoking riddles, paradoxes and brainteasers that might keep you awake, fortunately their many back-of- the-envelope resolutions are also included. This book is as close to a do-it-yourself relativity kit as you can get. The author nicely exploits the fact that one image can say a lot more than a full page of algebra, and where algebra is hard to remember some of Bais’ diagrams are hard to forget.

The Chagall Atlas
by NIENKE DENEKAMP
The Chagall Atlas follows Jewish artist Marc Chagall, whose personal and artistic life collided with world history more than once. Born in the 19th Century in anti-Semitist Czarist Russia, Chagall travelled to 20th Century Paris, where Cubism and Fauvism were about to change art forever. During World War I, he was ‘stuck’ in his hometown Vitebsk, right at the Eastern Front of a war that seamlessly merged into the Russian Revolution. Chagall could literally see the Revolution unfold from the window of his office in St. Petersburg. Chagall spent the twenties and thirties in Berlin and Paris, trying not to think about World War II that loomed over Europe. His spectacular escape from Vichy France to the US, where Chagall and his family spent the war along with other exiled artists, is a fantastic story in its own right. After the War, Chagall settled in the South of France, where he lived next door to Picasso and Matisse. But it wasn’t until later in life, against the backdrop of the Cold War and the foundation of the State of Israel, that he fully came into his own as an artist.
