INGO SCHULZE

Peter HoltzHis Own Account of a Happy Life

576 pp., HardcoverSeptember 7, 2017S. Fischer VerlagSample Translation Link

Orphan to millionaire. How did it go so wrong?

Peter Holtz wants happiness for everyone. As a child, he tried living without money, made punk music based on the spirit of industrial folk songs and converted to Christianity. He fought for Christian-Communist democracy as a CDU member (East). But to his surprise, the way of the world de�es all logic. The market economy rewards his altruism with riches. Had he been �ghting for the wrong cause? Or was he simply �ghting for the right thing on the wrong path? And above all, how can he decently rid himself of the money? Peter Holtz takes the promises of capitalism at their word. Deploying humour and poetic diction, Ingo Schulze creates a character like we have never seen before, but certainly need today, in times when the world has been turned upside down.

• Ingo Schulze’s works have been translated into more than 30 languages • His books have received several literary awards (The Leipzig Book Fair Prize, the Joseph Breitbach Prize, a nomination for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award)

FLAKE

It’s the World’s Birthday Today

This is not a book about Rammstein

It’s 4 pm. A man is sitting in a windowless room. He is not sure which city he is in right now, in Paris, Rome or Erkner? And he doesn’t know why he is sitting here. He doesn’t have enough muscles to be a sportsman, so he must be a musician waiting to go on stage. The band he plays in might be called Rammstein, but might not, because by tomorrow, there will be different musicians sitting here. The man thinks about his life and is amazed. Certain things have happened that some would describe as strange and beautiful, others as just loud. He has been making music with this band called Rammstein for twenty years. There really is enough to think about.

• 30 000 sold copies of Der Tastenficker• Top ten of the Spiegel bestseller list • Rammstein have sold 16 million CDs worldwide and have more than 8 million fans on Facebook

BACK LIST

Key Fucker‘The Bits I Can Remember’

In the former GDR, keyboardists were known as ‘Tasten�cker’, literally translated as ‘key fuckers’. This is the autobiography of Flake Lorenz, keyboardist of Germany’s most well-known band. In the �rst longer tour break that Rammstein took, Flake decided: “I’ll write a book then.”

Alongside the Rammstein anecdotes, the keyboardist philoso-phises about aesthetics in music, about cars and, with a great deal of self-irony, about himself:

‘My whole life is a balancing act between excessive anxiety and overcon�dence. Luckily, in daily life, a step in the wrong direction doesn’t lead to death, like in the Alps. You have a rope to hold on to. This shows you the way, like my family and my friends do in real life.’ Flake

The Key Fucker is not only a funny and disarmingly honest artist’s biography, but also a tangible chronicle of our time.

“Artist’s biographies are always sup-posed to explain the emergence of the genius, and why you yourself didn’t become one. How could this shy, scraggy kid from the Berlin neighbourhood of Prenz lauer Berg, for whom fetching fresh rolls in the mornings was already an ad-venture, end up in a band that is ranked amongst the most famous to have come out of Germany in the last twenty years, and that, together with Kraftwerk and the Autobahn, represents actual German folklore?”

Jochen Schmidt, Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung

“‘Key Fucker’ is the backward, sideward, forward looking view of life of a per-son who happens to be a musician, but above all, a dreamer and unconventional thinker. Funny, poignant and sometimes hilarious, the Berlin institution /original from Prenzlauer Berg talks about his wants, his refusals, his failures and happiness.” Gunnar Leue, TAZ

CARMEN STEPHAN

It’s All True

FICTION 8

The drama set around Orson Welles and a �sherman. A story about a truth that does not tell us what we should see, do or believe.

Brazil, North East, 1941. Four men no longer want to put up with what is wrong. They build a raft and set off to visit the President. They sail two thousand kilometres across the ocean on their jangada. Upright. Barefoot. Without map or compass. They are guided by the stars. They are the �sher-men Jerônimo, Mané Preto, Tatá and their leader, Jacaré. They travel for something as simple as it is great: their right. They reach Rio de Janeiro after sixty-one days and they are heroes. The Hollywood director, Orson Welles, whose �lm Citizen Kane is running in the cinemas, wants to make a movie about their bold odyssey – but during �lming, Jacaré goes overboard and disappears into the ocean.

• Carmen Stephan’s novel is based on a true story that has never been told before in such form.

“Where else in contemporary literature can one �nd debutants who produce images so languidly, beautifully and morbidly deploying linguistic subtlety and profound background knowledge?”

Der Tagesspiegel on Mal Aria



FICTION | LITERARY SCIENCE FICTION 9

No one can solve the problems caused by life on their own, as these problems concern us all.

Politics is everywhere. Six people are called

together to travel to the Sun: a student, a cook,

a �nancial advisor, a mathematician, a guitarist

and a pianist. They learn that there is a civili-

sation on the Sun that is completely different

to what is known to humans. In new bodies,

they are supposed to tackle three large tasks

and in doing so, they get caught in the cross�re

of a massive con�ict.

Cut Through The Sun stands in the tradition of

H.G. Wells, Stanisław Lem and Arno Schmidt.

An adventurous, philosophical and political

novel that poses the most pressing questions

of our time.

DIETMAR DATH, born in 1970, is a writer, translator,

musician and publisher. His novel The Abolition of the

Species just missed receiving the German Book Prize in

ROLAND SCHIMMELPFENNIGThe Language of the Rain

What will become of our dreams? A novel about love and protest

A city made of iron and steel, of pipes, corri-

dors and stairs, which is drifting out to sea. A

boy who �ghts his way across the wild steppe

for days on end. The heat, the rain. The ghost of

an old man. A woman who is arrested at home

and repeatedly tells the story of a king: how he

roamed through forests and deserts to forget

his love, and how on his travels, he learnt the

language of the stars and the rain.

In his second novel, Roland Schimmelpfennig

takes all the liberties of narration and sweeps

us off to a world of superstition, hope and

impenetrable bureaucracy. As the stones were

once liquid �re, so the people in this novel are

full of longing and anger.

ROLAND SCHIMMELPFENNIG, born in 1967, is one

of the most-performed playwrights in Germany. His

theatre pieces are performed with great success in

more than 40 countries around the world. His �rst novel

An einem klaren, eiskalten Januarmorgen zu Beginn des 21.

Jahrhunderts, published in 2016, was on the shortlist for

Wild

The famous Shackleton expedition – told as never before.

In 1914, the British adventurer Frank Wild, together with the famous arctic explorer Ernest Shackleton and 26 men, sets off on the “last trip on earth” – they want to cross Antarc-tica. However, their ship is destroyed by pack ice, they drift northwards on an ice �oe and �nally save themselves onto an island where no one is likely to �nd them. While Shackleton sets off to �nd help, 22 men stay behind under Frank Wild’s command, in constant darkness and bitter cold. By his per-sonality alone, Wild manages to keep the men’s faith in an eventual rescue – throughout an entire Antarctic winter, the worst prison in the world.

“What is it that makes us capable of surviving? I still can’t rationally explain Frank Wild’s art, so I’ll tell his life story instead.”

Reinhold Messner

“Reinhold Messner questions […] the myths of this unique mountain and at the same time tells a deeply human story of ambition and summit happiness, fear and responsibility.”

ÁNGEL SANTIESTEBANWolves in the Night16 Stories from Cuba

A powerful discovery from Cuba Cuban writer Ángel Santiesteban unwaveringly

speaks up against despotism and repression.

His stories are interwoven by his own experi-

ences, their spectrum ranges from fantastical

to shockingly real: A �gure disappears from

its novel to escape censorship; a hungry mob

of men set out in the dark of night to steal

the meat of dead cows; in the midst of a lively

party, a soldier is haunted by the memories of

the war in Angola. Santiesteban tells of a dif-

ferent Cuba, far from the postcard idyll and the

seemingly light Caribbean lifestyle.

• Stories from a different Cuba: disturbing, vivid and highly political • Ángel Santiesteban is ‘the’ voice of literary Cuba

“These texts are small rifts in the closed debate. They undermine the Cuban myth.” Carolin Emcke in DIE ZEIT

ÁNGEL SANTIESTEBAN, born in 1966 in Havana, is

Cuba’s literary conscience. For years, he was the most

successful author of his generation and was awarded

and �nally sentenced to imprisonment. Thanks to the

intervention of German Foreign Minister Steinmeier,

he is currently out on probation; however, he is not al-

lowed to publish in Cuba.

A philosophical-metaphysical thriller

Michael Aldrian, who worked as a prompter

for the opera for a long time, travels to Venice

in the winter in order to visit his brother who

lives there. He, however, seems to have disap-

peared without a trace, together with his wife.

Aldrian, who was actually planning to write a

travel guide about Venice, begins to search for

them both in the city plagued by �oods. But it

appears that someone wants to stop him. Re-

lentlessly and almost without his involvement,

he is dragged into a scenario in which he is

increasingly no longer spectator but perpetra-

tor. As if in a nightmare, he moves through the

city and dispatches several people who stand

in his way, almost in passing. Has he gone mad

or is it the world?

“Venice has been described as a fairy-tale city often enough. This is only true inso-far as there are not only glorifying fairy tales, but also gruesome ones.”

Gerhard Roth

GERHARD ROTH, born in Graz in 1942, has published

numerous novels, stories, essays and plays, for which

MARLENE STREERUWITZThe Wondrous in the Inhospitable.

“Time for an outrage!”What has happened since the poetic readings

of the 1990s? The taboos from that era are now

the content of our pleasures. Open and shame-

less action is often taken towards those who do

not demonstrate the required characteristics.

Hospitality is abolished. Nothing is hidden and

yet, lies are often told. Populists and the enter-

tainment industry strive for world domination.

What remains? Art and literature. Marlene

Streeruwitz picks up the trail of the wondrous

that can produce lies but also unmask them.

Amongst other things, she analyses the Walt

Disney �lm Frozen, Ingeborg Bachmann’s novel

Malina, as well as the spectacular performance

art action in the Apple store in Berlin by ‘Hexe

Protektorama’. Central topic is the question of

the role of art in the digital, global and alterna-

tive fact age.

ROBERT GERNHARDTLittle Gernhardt

Robert Gernhardt himself had the idea for a

book that he wanted to call ‘Little Gernhardt’.

It was meant to be a book like an encyclopedia

– sorted alphabetically according to key words –

where he would recount things about himself

and the world he lived in. Robert Gernhardt

was unable to realise the book himself, but

numerous texts and key words are available,

which show how far he had developed the idea.

Publisher Andrea Stoll has used these materials

and other unpublished texts from the Brunnen-

hefte to realise Gernhardt’s idea. From ‘driving’

to ‘sketching’, it shows us how indispensable

Robert Gernhardt’s humour and self-irony are,

particularly in today’s world. His texts ‘�ight’

and ‘fortress Europe’ demonstrate with incred-

ible topicality how sensitive he was to the time

he lived in and how he perceived changes in

society. A book that is full of surprises. An ideal

introduction into Robert Gernhardt’s world.

• A new Gernhardt book on the anniver- sary of his 80th birthday: composed of previously unpublished texts from the Brunnenhefte

ROBERT GERNHARDT (1937–2006) lived in Frankfurt am

Main and Tuscany as a poet and writer, painter and art-

ist. He received numerous accolades, amongst them the

Heinrich Heine Prize and the Wilhelm Busch Prize. His

UWE KOLBEPsalms

“Now, the heretic who talks of love”

Psalms are prayers and songs – poetic dia-

logues with God. In his new book, Uwe Kolbe

delves into the grand tradition of biblical

psalms and pulls out all linguistic stops: From

profane to sublime, from lively singing to stut-

tering, from intense gravity to the play with

sounds and forms. It is always about the life in

the here and now in all its wealth: about love

and the beauty of nature, about the magic of

art, but also about emptiness, loneliness and

death. Here, no verse is spoken from the safe

side. This separates Kolbe’s poems from the

old psalmists’ faith in God and makes them so

vivid and close for us today.

UWE KOLBE was born in East Berlin in 1957 and relo-

cated to Hamburg in 1988, where he now lives again

following time in Tübingen and Berlin. He has been

“Poet in Residence” in the US several times since 2007.

S. Fischer Verlag most recently published his book of

poems Lietzenlieder (2012) and Gegenreden (2015), the

novel Die Lüge (2014) as well as the essay Brecht. Rollen-

Together with his girlfriend, the narrator visits friends in the Steiermark region on the Easter weekend. While the media report in minute detail on the double murder of two children that occurred on Good Friday, which the murderer is said to have �lmed with a video camera, the four friends alternate between television and card games, kitchen and discussions. Disgusted and at the same time fascinated by the sensation, they comment on the media’s approach. Meanwhile, outside, in the ‘real’ world, the frantic search for the murderer continues.

A man writes a novel. The man is called Thomas Glavinic. The novel is called Night Work and the man wants what everyone wants: Success. He wants a publisher, a prize, and money. What he has is a manuscript, a literary agent, a headache and sadly, mostly unbearable fellow men. And he has a nice friend, who has himself written a novel, whose sales �gures prompt our author’s mother to say: “Why can’t you write something like that?” Using absurd humour, Thomas Glavinic plays a game with reality and its duplication – a rare, unusual reading pleasure.

BIOGRAPHY/ ESSAY | (TRUE) LOVE STORIES 15

Ingeborg Bachmann is a myth, her diva-like stagings, even her death were legendary. But who was Ingeborg Bachmann?

Instead of an overall picture of her life, Ina

Hartwig presents biographical fragments,

which take shape through conversations with

contemporaries – Enzenberger, Walser, Mari-

anne Frisch amongst others – but also through

archive discoveries and site visits. Ina Harwig

discovers Ingeborg Bachmann as a contempo-

rary historical �gure of the post-war order, as a

pro�teer of the transatlantic cultural policy of

the Cold War, which also included a personal

friendship with Henry Kissinger – Ina Hartwig’s

conversation with Kissinger is one of the high-

lights of the book. Ingeborg Bachmann reveals

herself to be a politically thinking intellectual

and media professional; as a personality, who,

despite all her risks, surprises with her wit and

practical worldly cleverness.

INA HARTWIG studied Romance Languages and Ger-

man in Avignon and Berlin. Alongside teaching posts

at the FU Berlin, in St. Louis and Göttingen, she worked

as literary editor for the Frankfurter Rundschau for many

years and has been working as critic, author and juror

since 2010. In 2011, she received the Alfred Kerr Prize

for Literary Critic and the Caroline Schlegel Prize from

the City of Jena. In 2015/16, she was a fellow at the Wis-

senschaftskolleg in Berlin. In 2016, Ina Hartwig became

Head of Frankfurt am Main’s Department of Culture.

Comet Years1918: A World on the Cusp

“Daniel Schönp�ug writes in a way that entices the reader to follow him into the incredible year of 1918. He reopens this era with great delicacy, a wonderful eye for detail and huge stylistic ability and allows his readers to rediscover the 20th century on these pages, and also themselves.”

Rights sold: USA (Henry Holt), NL (Bezige Bij)

A marvellously told story of this particular moment, when after the horrors of war, everything seemed possible.

November 1918. The Great War has reduced the old world to rubble; rarely was the fate of humans so open. New possibili-ties and dreams shine brightly, the struggle for the future begins. Cossack Marina Yurlova opposes the revolution in Siberia, Käthe Kollwitz turns her pain into art, Rudolf Höß marches with the Freikorps, Virginia Woolf revolutionises the novel, Walter Gropius wants to change society through architecture and in Paris, the publisher Louise Weiss passionately pro-motes a united Europe.

Daniel Schönp�ug virtuously portrays this unique moment and the years that followed from the perspective of those people who discovered, shaped and experienced them. A brilliantly written landscape covering a very special era that shifts between enthusiasm and disappointment, between euphoria and destruction.

“The Harlem Hellfighters experienced November 11, 1918 in a camp in the Vosges, where they were enjoying leave after 191 straight days of combat. … As Arthur Little described it in his memoirs, there was no comparison with the lunacy that erupted that day in New York, London or Paris. For Little, peace came as a moment of calm and brightness in which the burden of responsibility he had felt for weeks dropped from his shoulders. The men from Harlem were amused to see how the people of Alsace took to the streets in their traditional rural garb and celebrated liberation from German occupa-tion by drinking great quantities of Riesling. A lieu-tenant colonel named Hayward summed it up best, saying that, after the day Jesus was born, this was the second best day in all of history.”Comet Years, 2017

Space and the VoidOn the Beauty of the Universe

Why the world is not as it appears – amazing stories about space and time from best-selling author Stefan Klein

Does the void exist? Are space and time just an illusion? Are our minds capable of conceiving space at all? And why are we even on earth? 21st-century physics changes our perspec-tive of the world and ourselves. Stefan Klein relates this in his gripping and at the same time poetic book. Beginning with the blossom of a rose, he traces the beauty of the unknown, when examining the weather; he explains the unpredictabil-ity of the world, and by using a crime story, he helps us visu-alise the true form of space. With great literary feeling, Stefan Klein makes us marvel and takes us on a journey to our real-ity that is quite different from the way we perceive it.

• A new worldview that supersedes the imaginative powers we had to date and invites us to marvel • Best-selling science author Stefan Klein on 21st-century physics

a land of promises. He returns after 37 years,

Who is when and why considered a victim – and what are the effects of these attributions?Victims of war and violence are omnipresent in

the media, whether as images of mutilated sol-

diers, of terri�ed children or suffering civilians.

But the image of the victim as seen in present

days is new. Historian Svenja Goltermann de-

scribes what has evolved since the 18th cen-

tury: Losses were counted, the dead identi�ed,

the war supposed to be humanised, war-dis-

abled provided for, survivors and dependents

compensated. And so over time it was de�ned,

who was considered a victim, right up to the

discovery of the trauma as an emotional scar.

The dark side of modernity – humiliation as an instrument of power

There is probably no society that abstains from humiliating people – whether in the raising of children, in criminal law or in diplomatic relations. For example, France 1944, women who had relations with German occupying forces had their hair shaven off. Recently, judges in the US punished citizens, forcing them to proclaim their offence by holding a sign on a busy road. Not least thanks to being pilloried by the media and the Internet, public shaming has become omnipresent. In a brilliant walk through 250 years of history, the well-known historian Ute Frevert demonstrates how humiliations were staged and still are today, and shows: Modernity has not got rid of the pillory, but simply reinvented it. It is not the state doing the humiliating, but society.

ANDREAS BERNARDAccomplices to Police Monitoring Self In The Digital Culture

A noticeable number of practices of self-pres-

entation and self-awareness in the digital age

trace back to methods used in criminology,

psychology or psychiatry. The ‘pro�le’ format

in social networks arose from the ‘psychiatric

pro�le’ of detainees or as ‘suspect pro�les’ of

serial murderers. Self-tracking via smartphone

uses a technology that until ten years ago was

used for electronic tags. And the measuring of

the ‘Quanti�ed Self’ movement records body

currents that once advanced the development

of lie detectors. Andreas Bernard’s book inves-

tigates the irritating question why appliances

and proceedings that until a short while ago

were meant to help catch crooks and lunatics

are now considered vehicles of self-empower-

ment.

maker? And what would that mean aestheti-

cally? In a series of examinations of individual

�lms, Martin Seel investigates philosophical

questions: Is it possible to make a fair war

�lm about how the second Iraq war, the value

system or the grey area between law and

violence as portrayed in �lm, or what a cin-

ema anthology might look like. In powerful

and brilliant analyses of the �lms by Coppola,

Godard, Haneke, Clint Eastwood and Michael

Mann, Seel develops a cinema philosophy in an

aesthetic-ethical manner.

• unusual and philosophical examination of films • Seel is considered the great stylist amongst German philosophers

MARTIN SEEL, born in 1954 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein,

is Professor for Philosophy at the Johann Wolfgang

Goethe University Frankfurt am Main. So far, S. Fischer

After the huge success of Latte Macchiato – Soci-

ology of Little Things, now comes the follow up:

Light essays about men wearing buns, dark

glasses, lip-gloss or ripped jeans, about com-

ments such as “quite”, “I’m with you on that”

or “yummy”, about directors, the farewell of the

farewell or Jewish humour – effortlessly and

with a delicate touch, Tilman Allert manages to

succinctly distil the societal signi�cance of the

little things in everyday life. This is what sociol-

ogy should be.

“Clever analyses of our modern west European world.”

Ina Boesch, NZZ am Sonntag

TILMAN ALLERT, born in 1947, studied sociology in

Frankfurt, Freiburg and Tübingen. He has been professor

for Sociology and Social Psychology at the Goethe Uni-

versity in Frankfurt since 2000, and lectures as a visiting

A Heart For Our MotherBruno Reichart, Our Mother and a History of Heart Transplantations

History of medicine – told as thrillingly as a crime novel!

On May 16, 1997, Ursula Lebert’s heart was removed and replaced with a donor heart. The transplant granted the re-nowned journalist a second lease of life.Bruno Reichart carried out the operation. As successor to Christiaan Barnard, he became the ‘Superstar of Transplant Medicine’ and made breath-taking advances during the dif-�cult times of the Apartheid regime. To this day, the heart surgeon �ghts passionately for new groundbreaking methods – and for every single life. In a very unique way, the history of heart transplants is a global history of hope. But it is also a history of fear and dis-appointment, of scoundrels and black sheep, but above all, of heroes. The authors recount of godlike doctors who often achieve superhuman feats. Every second of their work is about life and death, about humanity and the very purpose of our being.

• 50 years of heart transplants • Gripping memoir: two sons fighting for their mother’s life • Bruno Reichart is one of the leading heart surgeons in the world

SASKIA JunGnIKLMy Journey to Life or How I Learnt to Overcome My Fear of Death

A book against the fear that prevents us from living

How many of us, like Saskia Jungnikl, are afraid

of death. Especially since her father died. But

instead of continuing to fear it, she seeks death

out: in morgues, at undertakers, in a hospice.

She searches for traces, learns how religions

deal with death and the question of what

comes after it, she �nds out what philosophers

thought about death and on her journey talks

to a lot of different people – from coroners

to Catholic bishops – to discover more about

death – and yet learns even more about life.

The Austrian author and journalist SASKIA JunGnIKL

(1981) lives and works in Hamburg, Vienna and the

southern Burgenland. She has received numerous

journalist prizes. Her much-noticed book Daddy Shot

Himself was published in 2014. She is a columnist for

the monthly magazine Datum, and her articles regularly

appear in the Austrian pages of the Zeit.


SVEN GOTTSCHLING / LARS AMENDGetting Rid of PainWhy So Many People Suffer Unne-cessarily And What Really Helps

In our so civilised and high-tech country, a

great many people suffer unimaginable pain

completely unnecessarily. This has to stop!

Says the well-known pain therapist and pal-

liative doctor Sven Gottschling. In coherent lan-

guage, he shows how pain after an operation is

not necessary, how pain sensitivity particularly

in new-borns and the elderly can be taken into

consideration, what one can do against head,

stomach and back ache and how people suf-

fering chronic pain can �nd quick access to an

effective pain therapy.

“We could spare endless people very distressing pain. I am �ghting for it – even against windmills if necessary”

Sven Gottschling, Die Welt

SVEN GOTTSCHLING made it his mission in life to take

sick people’s pain away and give them a better quality

of life. His book Living Right To The End – What Can We

Do For A Good Death from 2016 was a Spiegel bestseller

right from the start. The 45-year old is Head Physician

at the Centre for Palliative Medicine and Children’s Pain

Therapy at the University Clinic Saarland.

LARS AMEND met Sven Gottschling during a television

show covering his Spiegel bestseller This Crazy Heart –

The Courage To Dream und was immediately impressed

by the young doctor. The author lives in Berlin.
