Title: Vor Feuerschlünden - Erfahrung mit Georg Trakls Gedicht. Anhang Georg Trakl - Dichtungen und Briefe
Description: This work is a gripping and profoundly personal encounter with the great expressionist poet Georg Trakl. It is a taking stock of two troubled lives, a turbulent century, and the liberating power of poetry. Picking up where his last book, 'The Jew Car', left off, Fühmann probes his own susceptibility to ideology's seductions - Nazism, then socialism - and examines their antidote, the goad of Trakl's enigmatic verses.
Subjects: Criticism and interpretation, Ideology, Ideology and literature
People: Georg Trakl (1887-1914)
