        Klassik Romantik, Restauration 1789–1848

        by Joachim Bark, Hans Christoph v. Nayhauss

        Such diverse tendencies as Weimar Classic, Romanticism, Biedermeier and Vormärz shaped the period between 1789 and 1848, combined with big names: of course Goethe and Schiller, Schinkel, the Schlegels, Caspar David Friedrich, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Ranke, Prince Pückler Muskau, Die Droste, Heine ... The editors present the epoch in clear and understandable language, point out contradictions and common roots; in the second part, the contemporaries themselves have their say – for an educational and enjoyable reading for everybody, who not only wants to read about the epoch, but also in it.

      • Il Landau di Susi

        by Bruno Arcangeli Grablovitz

        There are invisible strings tying us to our past, bonds that, from father to son, hand down customs, habits, traditions and feelings making us feel part of the story that is set by the passing of years. The words in this novel, which could be defined “historical”, take our hands and gently and with great care lead us back to the end of the 19th century, when the young Susi, from the small village of Ronchi dei Legionari, attended the Ursuline Sisters School in Gorizia. The landau, which the book is named after, is a symbol of those changing times and, in a way, it accompanies Susi elegantly and lightly until the day of her wedding. Bruno Arcangeli Grablovitz, meticulously reconstructs the history of her family, tile after tile, thanks to extensive research, precious documents and his mother’s heartfelt accounts. The result is a detailed description of the social, economic and historical context of the time, when important events occurred, inevitably changing the future.

        Escape Home

        Rebuilding Life After the Anschluss, A Family Memoir

        by Charles Paterson and Carrie Paterson

        The riveting family memoir of a Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice and his resourceful father begins in Nazi-occupied Europe and journeys “home” to American modernism amid the snowy mountains of Colorado. Charles Paterson (1929–2018) was nine years old when the Nazis invaded Vienna in March, 1938. Fleeing Austria for Czechoslovakia just months later, only to witness the invasion of Hitler for a second time in Prague, the author and his sister escaped to Paris to rejoin their refugee father Stefan before being adopted in Australia. Meanwhile, Stefan’s daring three-month-long escape through France by foot and bicycle, told in a detailed letter to his children from Lisbon, is a story unto itself.
