{"product_id":"christoph-hein-in-perspective-graham-jackman-9789042014824","title":"Christoph Hein in Perspective","description":"Unlike many writers from the former GDR, Christoph Hein's reputation and standing - and his creativity - have remained intact despite the demise of the GDR in 1989-90. \u003ci\u003eChristoph Hein in Perspective\u003c\/i\u003e brings together essays by both established and younger scholars from Britain, Germany and the USA which together cover a wide spectrum of his work, from the early writings of the 1970s to the play \u003ci\u003eIn Acht und Bann\u003c\/i\u003e of 1999 and including his speeches and essays as well as all his major prose works. There is a marked emphasis in the volume on Hein's post-\u003ci\u003eWende\u003c\/i\u003e output, with about half the contributions focusing primarily on this period. Another feature is the diversity of perspectives from which the works are examined: historical and political viewpoints are complemented by formal and comparative studies as well as by gender-based perspectives. The volume includes additionally the first published English translation of what is for many Hein's most successful work for the stage, \u003ci\u003eDie wahre Geschichte des Ah Q\u003c\/i\u003e of 1983 ('The True Story of Ah Q'). The volume as a whole should be of interest to scholars concerned with the GDR and with contemporary German culture, to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and also the others interested in the history and culture of Germany since 1945. Six of the essays are in English and six in German.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Graham Jackman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9042014822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789042014824\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Graham Jackman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487126860031,"sku":"9789042014824","price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b4c977f-12ed-43a9-86ae-f68ee2f1a3d1.jpg?v=1778058519","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christoph-hein-in-perspective-graham-jackman-9789042014824","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
