Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. BC2 - A hardcover book SIGNED and inscribed by author to previous owner on the half-title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Book cocked, dust jacket and book have some bumped corners, light discoloration and shelf wear. Translated from the Ger…man by Margot Bettauer Dembo. Aftertime is the moving story of one woman's coming to grips with her small place in history, and with that history's enormous impact on her life. It is the story of a destiny obscured by statistics and abstractions and has great resonance for all people living uneasily with technology in the twentieth century. 8.75"x6", 116 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Aftertime is the story of a young woman's struggle to come to grips with the aftermath of a devastating catastrophe. In her last year at the university in Kiev and shortly before she is to take her final examinations, the narrator is persuaded by her roommate to go for a cruise on a large lake north of the city. While her friends dance in the ballroom below ship, the young woman stands on deck, enjoying the tranquil evening. Sixty miles away, a nuclear reactor explodes. In the days that follow, the official version of events minimizes the risks. Conflicting instructions are issued; people are warned to stay indoors, yet reassured that there is no danger. Reports of the death toll are revised from two thousand to a mere twenty, then back again. Rumors proliferate; there is panic. Denial and deception characterize the public pronouncements. Returning to Berlin, the young woman recognizes with mounting horror the symptoms that belie the Soviet governments disavowals, and she immerses herself in denial; she becomes obsessed with having a healthy baby, the only proof to herself and to the world that she has been untouched by the disaster. She suffers a miscarriage, embarks on a path of startling promiscuity, and suffers a second. Getting no adequate guidance or explanation from her doctors, the woman makes a final, desperate bid to seize control of her destiny. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - What happens when the world in which people have crafted identities for themselves and lived their lives suddenly disappears How does a person -- or a nation -- confront such a shock At an unparalleled moment in German history, Olaf Geor…g Klein seized the opportunity to engage fellow citizens of the former East Germany in reflection on their lives before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Between 1990 and 1993, he conducted almost a hundred interviews of former East German citizens, probing their experiences of the sudden collapse of the German Democratic Republic, then crafting them into twelve first-person narratives. The result is a literary account woven together from the historical experiences of those caught up in the profound social and political, but also psychological and personal transformations inaugurated by the fall of the Wall. The twelve narrators include representatives from the cities and the countryside, from young and old, from the East German power elite and the resistance, as well as 'normal people' who were neither for nor against the system and thus were in a position to be critical of both the GDR and united Germany. The book, which was somewhat of a sensation in Germany upon its publication there in 1994, will be of interest to students and scholars in a range of disciplines: history and political science, sociology, psychology, and literary studies. It includes an introduction and extensive annotations to assist the reader in understanding the East German and unified German contexts. ~~ OLAF GEORG KLEIN's novel Aftermath was published in translation by Northwestern University Press in 1999. ANN McGLASHAN is associate professor of German and Dwight D. Allman is associate professor of Political Science, both at Baylor University.
