The most important essays from a good two decades
This volume brings together essays by Peter Härtling, who co-founded his reputation and influence on spiritual life in this country. Essays on literature crucial to Peter Härtling's creation and essays that provide insight into his political thinking. Härtling has emphatically drawn attention to authors who have not returned to the Federal Republic, and it is he who repeatedly points to the failed start of this country. Passionate essays for peace and its criticism of the behavior of politicians when the construction of the runway West at Frankfurt Airport was prepared, testify to his lively contemporary. Literature and politics, literature or politics: "Whoever predicts has thought back." This sentence has shaped Härtling's writing.
