Anna Seghers. "The seventh cross"
Anna Segher's "novel against the dictatorship par excellence" (Marcel Reich-Ranicki):
Seven prisoners have fled the Westhofen concentration camp near Worms, but only one has reached the saving shore. In his flight, Georg Heisler meets men and women who have to choose between selfish renunciation and compassion, denunciation and solidarity. Anna Seghers wrote her famous novel with the sovereignty of a world-class writer and a clear-sightedness that continues to make reading a deeply touching existential experience. "The Seventh Cross" made Anna Seghers famous in one fell swoop and became a worldwide success to this day.
A rediscovered German classic novel from 1942, never before published in the UK, The Seventh Cross is both a gripping escape story and a powerful novel of resistance.
"The Seventh Cross." Anna Seghers, Paperback - Book.
The German cover is more sensitive, and I like it more.
One of my favorite books should not be missing here:
The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince; first published in April 1943, is a novella, the most famous work of French aristocrat, writer, poet, and pioneering aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
The novella is one of the most-translated books in the world and has been voted the best book of the 20th century in France. Translated into 300 languages and dialects, selling nearly two million copies annually, and with year-to-date sales of over 140 million copies worldwide, it has become one of the best-selling books ever published.
After the outbreak of the Second World War, Saint-Exupéry escaped to North America. Despite personal upheavals and failing health, he produced almost half of the writings for which he would be remembered, including a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss, in the form of a young prince visiting Earth. An earlier memoir by the author had recounted his aviation experiences in the Sahara Desert, and he is thought to have drawn on those same experiences in The Little Prince.
Enjoy reading...
Danke Katja!
Leider gibt es auch Augenblicke im Leben wo es gesünder ist nicht zu lieben.
Und es gibt auch Augenblicke wo man unfähig ist zu lieben.
Alles hat seine Zeit !
Am 9. September wurde der große russische Schriftsteller Lew Nikolajewitsch Graf Tolstoi (1828-1910), im Deutschen als Leo Tolstoi etabliert, geboren. Seine Hauptwerke Krieg und Frieden und Anna Karenina sind Klassiker des realistischen Romans.
"Du brauchst nur zu lieben, und alles ist Freude."
"Jeder Mensch hat die Keime aller menschlichen Eigenschaften in sich. Manchmal kommen die einen zum Vorschein, manchmal die anderen."
"Wenn Du keinen Menschen töten kannst - gut; kannst Du auch kein Vieh und keine Vögel töten - noch besser; keine Fische und Insekten - noch besser. Bemüh Dich, soweit wie möglich zu kommen. Grüble nicht, was möglich ist und was nicht. Tu, was Du mit Deinen Kräften zustande bringst. Darauf kommt alles an."
"Wir werden nicht geliebt, weil wir so gut sind, sondern weil diejenigen, die uns lieben gut sind."
"PEACE
NOT WAR
GENEROSITY
NOT GREED
EMPATHY
NOT HATE
CREATIVITY
NOT DESTRUCTION
EVERYBODY
NOT JUST US"
