The Writers' Castle
A gripping new approach to the Nuremberg Trial, told through the stories of the many great writers who came to witness itNuremberg, 1945. As the trials of Nazi war criminals begin, some of the world's most famous writers and reporters gather in the ruined German city. Among them are Rebecca West, John Dos Passos, Martha Gellhorn, Erika Mann and Janet Flanner.Crammed together in the press camp at Schloss Faber-Castell, where reporters sleep ten to a room, complain about the food and argue in the lively bar, they each try to find words for the unprecedented events they are witnessing. Here, tensions simmer between Soviet and Western journalists, unlikely affairs begin, stories are falsified and fabricated - and each reporter is forever changed by what they experience.As Uwe Neumahr builds an engrossing group portrait of the literary luminaries at Nuremberg, we are taken to the heart of the political and cultural conflicts of the time - observing history at the very moment it was being written.

Marseille 1940 - Den Tyska Litteraturens Flykt
Juni 1940: Hitlers Wehrmacht har besegrat Frankrike. Gestapo letar efter Heinrich Mann och Franz Werfel, efter Hannah Arendt, Lion Feuchtwanger och otaliga andra tyska författare som har flytt till Frankrike sedan maktövertagandet 1933. Amerikanen Varian Fry kommer till Marseille för att rädda så många som möjligt. Det är ett dramatiskt år i den tyska litteraturhistorien. I Nice lyssnar Heinrich Mann på radionyheter medan bomblarmen ljuder. Anna Seghers flyr med sina barn till fots från Paris. Lion Feuchtwanger sitter i ett franskt interneringsläger, medan SS-trupper rycker närmare. Alla kommer de slutligen till Marseille. Här lämnar Walter Benjamin ifrån sig sin nya essä till Hannah Arendt innan han flyr över Pyrenéerna. Här korsas vägarna för en mängd tyska och österrikiska författare, intellektuella och konstnärer. Och här riskerar Varian Fry och hans medhjälpare livet för att smuggla ut dem ur landet. Uwe Wittstock, född i Leipzig 1955, är litteraturkritiker och författare. Hans stora genombrott kom, även internationellt, med Februari 33: litteraturens vinter, som blev brett uppmärksammad och diskuterad under det svenska valåret 2022. Marseille 1940: den tyska litteraturens flykt tar vid efter den förra boken och är skriven med minst lika stor intensitet och närvaro - och dess aktualitet i samtiden är lika obestridlig."Kallsvett sipprar ut från sidorna i Wittstocks bok. Med imponerande detaljrikedom gestaltar han nyckfullhetens terror. Från en dag till en annan kan spelreglerna ändras genom ett eller annat myndighetsdekret [. . .] Marseille år 1940 är en ö i tiden. Men man kan slå broar ända till Tidö slott. Över dem vandrar den byråkratiska brutaliteten." Per Svensson, DN."Hans skildring av hur kulturpersonligheter som redan gått i exil från Nazityskland också tvingas fly Frankrike matchar en spänningsroman." Anders Q Björkman, SvD."Med ett närmast thrillerartat driv skildrar Wittstock de oppositionellas katt och råtta-lek med Gestapo och SS. Det här är angelägen läsning i vår tid, när fascismen vinner alltmer mark i Europa." Yukiko Duke, Vi Läser."Boken kan tveklöst läsas som ren spänningslitteratur och man häpnar över inledningens uppgift om att allt i boken går att belägga och är fritt från fiktiva inslag." Hjalmar Falk, Ord&Bild.
