    Zusammenfassung: "A unique and personal portrait of the beloved, legendary Swiss writer, finally in English. After a nervous breakdown in 1929, Robert Walser spent the remaining twenty-seven years of his life in mental asylums, closed off from the rest of the world in almost complete anonymity. While at the Herisau sanitarium, instead of writing, Walser practiced another favorite activity: walking. Starting in 1936, Carl Seelig, Walser's friend and literary executor, visited and accompanied him on these walks, meticulously recording their conversations. As they strolled, Walser told stories, shared his daily experiences of the sanatorium, and expressed his opinions about books and art, writing and history. When Seelig asked why he no longer wrote, Walser famously replied: "I'm not here to write, I'm here to be mad." Filled with lively anecdotes and details, Walks with Walser offers the fullest available account of this wonderful writer's inner and outer life."--(Provided by publisher.)

    Zusammenfassung: "The Farm in the Green Mountains is the story of a family finding home--halfway across the world from their homeland. Alice Herdan-Zuckmayer and her husband, the playwright Carl Zuckmayer, lived at the heart of intellectual life in Weimar Germany, counting among their circle Stefan Zweig, Alma Mahler, and Bertolt Brecht. After Carl's work fell afoul of the Nazis, however, the couple and their two daughters were forced to flee Europe. Los Angeles didn't suit them and neither did New York, but then a chance stroll in the Vermont woods led them to Backwoods Farm, the eighteenth-century house where they would live for the next five years. In Europe, the Zuckmayers were accustomed to servants; in Vermont, they found themselves joyfully building chicken coops and refereeing fights between unruly ducks. Despite the endless work a new farm required and brutal winters that triggered bouts of melancholy, Alice discovered that in America she had found her "native land." And her generous, surprising, and witty memoir, a bestseller in postwar Germany, has all the charm of a love story with a happy ending"--(Provided by publisher.)

    Introduction. Sebald's modern epics -- Katabasis : space and memory -- Classical underworlds as spaces of memory -- Sebald's underworlds of memory -- Ekphrasis : history and representation -- Staging poetic theory in encounters with works of art -- "A synoptic and artificial view" -- Nostos : exile and closure -- Exile as a disturbance of memory -- Sebald's epics without homecoming -- Conclusion. Epic today Zusammenfassung: Underworlds of Memory aruges persuasively that the literary works of the expatriate German author W. G. Sebald can best be understood through the lens of the classical genre of epic. Scholars often read Sebald's work as a project of cultural memory that aims to reevaluate Europe's past in the wake of the traumatic and complex events of the twentieth century. Sebald's characters seek out the traces of Europe's destructive history in strange places. They linger in disused train stations, pause before works of art, and return to childhood homes that turn out to be more foreign than any place they have visited. Underworlds of Memory demonstrates that these strange encounters with the past are bsaed on central tropes of classical epic: the journey to the underworld, the encounter with a work of art, and the return to the homeland. Sebald thus follows in the footsteps of German Jewish authors including Peter Weiss, Siegfried Kracauer, and Jean Améry who use these same epic tropes to reconsider the cultural memory of the Holocaust. Underworlds of Memory reads Sebald's works together with the works of these German Jewish authors and the classical epics of Homer and Virgil in order to describe and trace the origins of the unique intervention into cultural memory they embody. -- from back cover
