The Austrian novelist Hermann Broch ranks with Kafka and Musil among the three greatest 20th-century Austrian novelists and belongs to the century's most gifted novelists in German from whatever country. He established his reputation with 'The Sleepwalkers', a trilogy of political and philosophical novels. His best-known work is 'The Death of Virgil', a long, challenging work in a lyrical, exuberant, and sometimes nearly incomprehensible style, a kind of cerebral stream-of-consciousness of the dying Virgil. Broch also wrote extensively about modern art and architecture, Hofmannsthal, and mass psychology. He has a special connection to Yale, as he lived the last years of his life there after having escaped Austria in 1938. The participants in the Yale Symposium of April 2001 are among the world's most prominent Broch scholars. Fourteen of their presentations have been extensively revised for this volume, which focuses on Broch as critic and as novelist and dramatist. Topics include Broch's views on kitsch and art, and on drama; his cultural criticism; his cooperation with Borgese and Arendt; his theory of mass psychology; history in his works, Ernst Kretschmer's influence on him; 'Virgil' and Celan's 'Atemwende'; Jean Starr Untermeyer's translation of 'Virgil'; guilt and the fall in 'Those without Guilt'; and Broch reception in Japan. PAUL MICHAEL LüTZELER is Distinguished University Professor of German at Washington University St. Louis and editor of Broch's collected works. MATTHIAS KONZETT is associate professor of German at Yale; WILLY RIEMER is associate professor of German at the University of Delaware, and CHRISTA SAMMONS is curator of the German collections of the Beinecke Library at Yale.

Robert Musil und Hermann Broch antworteten zwischen den Weltkriegen auf eine Epoche der Katastrophen, der sie mit ihren in weltanschauliche Erlösungshoffnungen verstrickten Protagonisten nah auf den Leib rückten: eine Pathogenese der bürgerlichen Welt für die 1930er Jahre. Dass sie nach 1933 die Sehnsucht ihrer Zeitgenossen nach einer »Weltanschauung« immer ernster nahmen, hat die Nachgeborenen nicht selten irritiert. Doch bezeugt noch heute ihr »Weltanschauungsroman 2. Ordnung«, der hier erstmals entfaltet wird, das gewaltige historische Projekt, sich auf die Sprache der Zeit einzulassen und ihren fatalsten Tendenzen mit literarischer Einfühlung und kritischer Distanz nachzuspüren.

Die vielen Figuren deutscher oder deutschsprachiger Herkunft in Roberto Bolaños Gesamtwerk lassen sich ebenso wenig übersehen wie explizite Verweise auf die deutsche Literatur- und Geistesgeschichte. Im Zentrum des Bandes stehen daher Fragen nach intertextuellen Bezügen zwischen seinem Werk und der deutschsprachigen Literatur und Geschichte, nach der Rezeption seiner Texte und der Auseinandersetzung mit seiner Person durch den deutschsprachigen Kultur- und Literaturbetrieb sowie nach dem auf den deutschsprachigen Kontext bezogenen »Inventar« seiner Texte (Orte, Räume, Figuren, Motive). Die Beiträger*innen liefern damit einen ersten deutschsprachigen Sammelband zu dem chilenischen Schriftsteller und dessen besonderem Deutsch-Bezug. Besprochen in: www.literaturkritik.de, 02.11.2020

Die Ikonen des Gesetzes fokussieren die Frage, wie absolut Mögliches ausgedrückt werden kann. Dazu werden Parallelen zwischen der bildenden Kunst, der Literatur, der Philosophie und der modernen Mathematik analysiert. Das Buch ist ein Schlüssel zum philosophischen Werk von Cacciari. Es ist lesbar als eine Ästhetik, die Cacciari mit dem Komponisten Luigi Nono erschlossen hat. Ihr gemeinsames Programm zielt auf die Sprengung des Kontinuums von Raum und Zeit, auf die Möglichkeit, die radikale Veränderung denkbar werden lässt. Das Nachwort orientiert über das philosophische Werk Cacciaris und dessen fragmentarische Rezeption in deutschen Übersetzungen.

Telling the story of Kafka's final years as never before—the third volume in the acclaimed definitive biographyThis volume of Reiner Stach's acclaimed and definitive biography of Franz Kafka tells the story of the final years of the writer's life, from 1916 to 1924—a period during which the world Kafka had known came to an end. Stach's riveting narrative, which reflects the latest findings about Kafka's life and works, draws readers in with nearly cinematic precision, zooming in for extreme close-ups of Kafka's personal life, then pulling back for panoramic shots of a wider world blighted by World War I, disease, and inflation.In these years, Kafka was spared military service at the front, yet his work as a civil servant brought him into chilling proximity with its grim realities. He was witness to unspeakable misery, lost the financial security he had been counting on to lead the life of a writer, and remained captive for years in his hometown of Prague. The outbreak of tuberculosis and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire constituted a double shock for Kafka, and made him agonizingly aware of his increasing rootlessness. He began to pose broader existential questions, and his writing grew terser and more reflective, from the parable-like Country Doctor stories and A Hunger Artist to The Castle.A door seemed to open in the form of a passionate relationship with the Czech journalist Milena Jesenská. But the romance was unfulfilled and Kafka, an incurably ill German Jew with a Czech passport, continued to suffer. However, his predicament only sharpened his perceptiveness, and the final period of his life became the years of insight.
