Synopsis

The "Open Letter" - tradition and present of a brisant publicist form. Even Angela Merkel writes open letters - to the "dear citizens". But this instrument of political opinion formation is only the shrinkage of a journalistic form as exciting as it is influential. How authors used Open Letters to honor, rebuke, admonish, confess, or make themselves important, as they piled glory or shame on their heads through the publication of the letters, how successful or unsuccessful their writings were, this collection of 28 examples from five centuries. As Thomas Müntzer rushes to fight, Heinrich Heine makes fun of the ban of "Young Germany", Heinrich Mann demands "dictatorship of reason" from Reichskanzler Gustav Streseman, Bertolt Brecht warns of rearmament, and Ulrike Meinhof confronts the shahgemahlin Farah Diba with the Persian reality
