Between Stove and Swastika: A Reading that Shakes Certainties
An evening for alert minds: Dr. Barbara Bonhage reads from her striking book 'Between Stove and Swastika' at the Lindau City Library and opens a mailbox of history. In a concentrated reading atmosphere, source material becomes vivid testimony, research becomes a literary experience, and distance becomes a moving author encounter.
The Power of the Source: Letters, Voices, Blind Spots
At the beginning are hundreds of letters from her own grandmother, a fervent National Socialist. Bonhage deciphers, contextualizes, and narrates. With historical expertise and linguistic artistry, she unfolds a narrative biography that makes the underrepresented work of NS women visible and dissects the mechanisms of seduction.
Literary Quality Meets Research Precision
The reading transcends genre boundaries: biographical narration, historical analysis, essayistic reflection. Precise terms – propaganda, Germanization, home front – are linked with literary density and clever dramaturgy. Thus, an evening emerges that demands both a thirst for knowledge and empathy.
Proximity and Disturbance: What Differentiates Us?
Bonhage's portrait of a wife and mother disturbs because everyday worries sound familiar. It is precisely this proximity that exposes the delicate question of how susceptible societies remain to radical ideologies. A topic of pressing relevance – culturally significant, intellectually honest, and literarily compelling.
An Evening for the Literary Scene by the Lake
The Lindau City Library offers an intimate setting for voice, text, and thought movement. The focused duration of the reading allows space for inner resonance and conversation impulses. Bookshelves as a backdrop, language as a compass: a concentrated forum for contemporary debates on memory, responsibility, and narrativity.
Conclusion: Those seeking the connection of high literary quality, historical accuracy, and moral clarity will experience a dense hour of cognition here. Expect precise texts, an engaging voice, and an evening that resonates. Secure your place now and experience the literary event live.
