        30. April 1945

        Der Tag, an dem Hitler sich erschoß und die Westbindung der Deutschen begann

        by Alexander Kluge

        Der 30. April 1945, ein Montag, »letzter ausgeübter Werktag des Deutschen Reiches«. Es ist ein Tag voller Widersprüche und verwirrender Lebensgeschichten. In Berlins Mitte toben heftige Gefechte, die Rote Armee nimmt die Stadt in Besitz, Hitler erschießt sich. Scheinbare Idylle dagegen in der Schweiz. In San Francisco formieren sich die Vereinten Nationen. Alexander Kluge beschreibt in seinem Buch lokale und globale Verhältnisse. In diesen wahren und erfundenen Geschichten geht es um das Leben in einer kleinen, von amerikanischen Streitkräften schon besetzten Stadt, um den Takt der Haarschnitte, aber auch um Ereignisse rund um den Erdball. Die Frage, die sich überall und unwiderruflich stellt: Wie soll man auf den Umsturz der Verhältnisse angemessen reagieren? Basierend auf persönlichen Erinnerungen und historischen Fakten, zeichnet Alexander Kluge das vielstimmige Portrait eines Tages, der Geschichte schrieb und dessen Folgen auch 70 Jahre später noch deutlich spürbar sind.

        April, May und June

        by Elizabeth Arnim, Angelika Beck, Brigitte Roßbeck, Kirsten Jüngling

        Kinder bei Laune zu halten und ihre Phantasie anzuregen – vor diese Aufgabe sah sich Elizabeth von Arnim mit fünf kleinen Kindern nicht gerade selten gestellt. Die Mühelosigkeit, mit der sie ihre zahlreichen Romane schrieb, verdankt sie wohl nicht zuletzt der Übung, die sie durch Geschichtenerzählen erlangte. Mit diesem kleinen Text gibt sie gewissermaßen Einblick in ihren häuslichen Alltag. Wie stets tut sie das mit Scherz, Satire, Ironie und zuweilen tieferer Bedeutung. Elizabeth von Arnim hat mittlerweile auch ihre deutschen Leser verzaubert: Die Verfilmung des Romans ›Verzauberter April‹ und ihre Romane ›Elizabeth und ihr Garten‹, ›Elizabeth auf Rügen‹, ›Alle meine Hunde‹, ›Einsamer Sommer‹, ›Die Reisegesellschaft‹, ›Vera‹, ›Jasminhof‹ und ›Sallys Glück‹ zählen in den gebundenen wie in den Taschenbuchausgaben zu den Bestsellern des Insel Verlags. Und in der Bibliothek Suhrkamp ist erschienen: ›Der Garten der Kindheit‹.

        District D

        by Artem Chekh

        District D is a collection of stories united through a common time period and location, from which gradually emerges a portrait of the author against the backdrop of “other shores,” on which his childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood passed. The book paints a self-critical portrait of the author in which one can discern the features of husbandry and cosmopolitanism, pettiness and magnanimity, and much else. Simultaneously, it paints a group portrait of a few dozen more or less registered residents of the aforementioned Cherkasy district with their more or less successful attempts at surviving the unexpected transition from post-soviet to newly independent Ukraine. According to the author, District D served as therapy for his own traumatic experiences because he wrote it while serving in the war: “I would write it out of me and would feel better; I escaped from that war and those experiences into writing.”

        Der Luftangriff auf Halberstadt am 8. April 1945

        by Alexander Kluge, W. G. Sebald

        Alexander Kluges Erzählung Luftangriff auf Halberstadt am 8. April 1945 erschien 1977. Genau zwanzig Jahre später wurde sie zu einem der wichtigsten Bezugspunkte jener Diskussion, die den Luftangriff auf deutsche Städte und ihre Zivilbevölkerung aus der Rolle des Anathemas befreite. Völlig vorläuferlos war eine solche literarische Gestaltung des Luftkriegs und seiner Auswirkungen nicht, doch gab erstmals Kluge – nach Hans Erich Nossacks melancholischem Bericht über den Untergang Hamburgs und Gert Ledigs furios-desillusionistischer Vergeltung – eine analytisch-kühle Darstellung des Zerstörungswerks und sondierte inmitten des Infernos jenen Rest an Selbstbehauptung und Rationalität, der noch die Zusammenhänge der Katastrophe als verständlich und künftige Auswege als möglich erscheinen ließ. »Gerade Kluges detaillierte Beschreibung der gesellschaftlichen Organisation des Unglücks beinhaltet die Konjektur, daß ein richtiges Verständnis der von uns in einem fort inszenierten Katastrophen die erste Voraussetzung darstellt für die gesellschaftliche Organisation des Glücks.« (W. G. Sebald) Aus dem zeitlichen Abstand von 30 Jahren beleuchtet Alexander Kluge mit einigen neueren Texten nochmals die Erzählung von 1977. Sebalds Würdigung dieses Textes wird der Neuausgabe beigegeben.
