Stefan Zweig is keeping me company at the desk this week.
This week's sheet from the Arche Literaturkalender, depicting a black and white photo of Stefan Zweig, a quote from his autobiographical "Die Welt von Gestern. Erinnerungen eines Europäers" (published posthumously in 1942), in which he remembers his visit to Paris in 1904 and the lightness of being he experienced, and a comment locating the quote and book in his biography.

My copy of the German edition of Ian Hacking's "Rewriting the Soul. Multiple Personality and the Sciences of Memory". An important book for me when I was writing my thesis.
Cover of the book "Multiple Persönlichkeit. Zur Geschichte der Seele in der Moderne" by Ian Hacking, Hanser Verlag, 1996.

Finally. The new novel by one of my favourite authors of spooky stories.
Paperback of Michelle Paver's novel Rainforest, on the cover an illustration of dark green exotic plants, some pink and yellow blossoms, a flying parrot, a frog and a blue butterfly, and a skull with a snake slithering out of its eye socket - all framing a view into the dark unknown of the jungle.

Sieben Billionen Jahre vor meiner Geburt
war ich eine Schwertlilie.

Unter meinen schimmernden Wurzeln
drehte sich ein andrer Stern.

Auf seinem dunklen Wasser
schwamm
meine blaue Riesenblüte.

Arno Holz, Phantasus

Black and white illustration by Koloman Moser of the above posted poem by Arno Holz, from "Ver Sacrum", included in "Jugendstil" (1987, see photo and text on the left).

'Ghosts on a Tree'

Franz Sedlacek 1933

#art #painting ##PhantomsFriday
An oil painting of a eery moonlit scene. On the foreground, a leafless tree with what looks like a murder of crows perched on its branches. On closer inspection the figures are not birds, but human-like figures with ghoulish heads, clad in black.

The house was very quiet, and the fog - we are in November now - pressed against the windows like an excluded ghost.

New on the blog today, I've written about CHILD OF ALL NATIONS by Irmgard Keun (tr. Michael Hofmann).

An eye-opening window into the uncertain existence of a family of German refugees, forced to leave their homeland for political reasons. #GermanLitMonth 💙📚

Watching Passengers (2016), very stylish, philosophical, and their bar(keeper) has clearly been inspired by the one from The Shining.
