{"product_id":"german-writers-and-the-politics-paul-cooke-9781403913265","title":"German Writers and the Politics of Culture: Dealing with the Stasi","description":"Before the fall of the Berlin Wall many East German writers were praised in the Western world as dissident voices of truth, bravely struggling with the draconian constraints of living under the GDR's communist regime. However, since unification, Germany has been rocked by scandals showing the level to which the Stasi, the East German Secret Police, controlled these same writers. This is the first study in English to systematically explore how the writers have responded to the challenge of dealing with the Stasi from the 1950s to the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Cooke,Andrew Plowman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1403913269\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781403913265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.44w x 0.78d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2004 pg. 2048","brand":"Paul Cooke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424324731135,"sku":"9781403913265","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4207ce57-63fd-4f18-b05a-3276efee8999.jpg?v=1761529579","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/german-writers-and-the-politics-paul-cooke-9781403913265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
