German-Irish encounters

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book features a diverse range of content divided into three parts. Part I presents letters from an Irish traveler in Dresden and Berlin during 1789/90, alongside radio broadcasts from the 1950s by Dr. Ernst Scheyer for RIAS Berlin. Part II includes various articles examining themes such as the portrayal of Ireland in Leonie Swann's novel, reflections on Neil Jordan's film "The Crying Game," and the contrasting landscapes of Mühlviertel and Connemara. Other contributions explore memory in Johannes Bobrowski's poetry, T. Desmond Williams' expertise on Ireland, and the evolution of Irish-German encounters in the context of European Community provisions. The section also discusses Flann O'Brien's translations, Luise Rinser's experiences in Dublin, and Erika Mann's critique of indoctrination in education. In Part III, personal encounters are highlighted, including a report on a grounded nomad, reflections on a day in the life of two individuals, and reminiscences about Galway. The collection culminates in a mix of scenic impressions from island life and personal narratives, providing a rich tapestry of Irish-German connections and cultural reflections.
