        Die Galeere

        Roman

        by Bruno E. Werner, Hellmut Freund

        1949, vier Jahre nach dem Zusammenbruch des »Dritten Reichs«, erschien im Suhrkamp Verlag, vorm. S. Fischer Verlag, ein Roman, der seiner Zeit so weit voraus war, dass des Abstands bedurfte für ein angemessenes Verständnis. Der Begleittext zur Erstausgabe verspricht zu recht einen Bericht, in dessen Mittelpunkt »ein Mann der deutschen Intelligenzschicht«, genauer: ein Zeitungsredakteur steht. Der dokumentiert, wie sich dieses Milieu – dazu zählen Akademiker wie Künstler, Romanciers und Chefredakteure – nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten duckt und windet, sich aber Freiräume schafft und benutzt, um dem guten Leben und der guten Sache weiterhin nachgehen zu können. Unausweichlich steht am Ende die Ohnmacht angesichts der diktatorischen Verhältnisse. Der Bogen, den der Erzähler spannt, reicht vom Tag der Machtergreifung über die Bombardierung Berlins und Dresdens bis zur Kapitulation: emotionslos, und gerade deshalb bewegend, in einem Ausmaß, das bei den Zeitgenossen zu viele zwiespältige und belastende Erinnerungen heraufzubeschwören drohte. In der Ankündigung heißt es deshalb zurecht: »Viele Leser werden dieses Buch wie ihren eigenen Roman lesen.« 70 Jahre nach Erscheinen sind die heutigen Leser dazu bereit und in der Lage.

        Roman

        by Lena Müller

        “You can't hold onto love. Just wait until it comes back.” Sando loves the Fox. The Fox, among all people. This young man with the unsettling smile who he met at a demo and who he cannot really get a hold of. But Sando has learned that you can't hold onto love, you have to wait until it comes back. He has learned that from his mother, who decided twenty years ago to leave her social background and to pursue her own goals, to not always be there for others: “The possibility of disappearance is always there. Because we are not just the ones the others want us to be”, she said. And now his sister Mili calls Sando because their mother has left their father – again. Without leaving a note. Sando agrees to embark with Mimi on the search, hoping to escape his lovesickness on the way. Lena Müller‘s first novel is about love and freedom, obligations and longing – and about what is left over.
