Bøger om Østrig

”Her, tag farveblyanterne, tegn et lille hus, en bæk et stykke neden for huset, en brønd, men ingen sol, for huset ligger nemlig i skyggen! Bagved ligger bjerget – som en oprejst sten. Foran huset står en rank kvinde, hun hænger vasketøj på en snor, snoren er dårligt spændt ud, bundet fast i to kirsebærtræer, det ene står til højre for verandaen i forhold til hoveddøren, det andet til venstre. Lige nu hænger kvinden et par sparkebukser og en lille trøje op med tøjklemmer, det vil sige at hun har børn.” I tiden omkring første verdenskrigs udbrud lever Josef og Maria sammen med deres børn i udkanten af en lille bjerglandsby i Østrig. Det er en fattig familie som står uden for samfundet og er afhængig af beskyttelse fra den toneangivende mand da Josef bliver indkaldt til hæren og må i krig. Smukke Maria bliver tilbage med børnene, og da Josef omsider kommer tilbage, er de fire børn blevet til fem. Til trods for at han i løbet af krigen har været hjemme på orlov, nægter Josef at vedkende sig det femte barn, en pige. Han veksler aldrig et ord med hende. Bogen er meget indlevende og glimtvis fortalt med (mindst) tre tidsniveauer: Familiehistorien fra ca. 1914, Monika Helfers barndom og ungdom og et nutidsplan hvor hun viser hvordan hun rekonstruerer historien. Hendes datter Paula, som døde i en ulykke i 2003, spiller en rolle. Det er som om hun fortæller historien til Paula. Derudover er romanen meget visuelt fortalt, bl.a. ved hjælp af sammenligninger med Pieter Brueghels malerier hvor Helfer ser en stor samtidighed (alting sker samtidigt, ligesom i erindringen). Dette element af kunst og spørgsmålet om hvordan man ”tegner” et familieportræt, er allerede indeholdt i den første sætning (se foroven).

Wolfgangsee er beliggende i det naturskønne Salzkammergut i hjertet af Østrig. Langs den smaragdgrønne sø finder man byerne Sankt Wolfgang, Strobl og Sankt Gilgen. Fra Wolfgangsee er der ikke langt til kejserbyen Bad Ischl, som i mange år var stedet, hvor kejser Franz Joseph og kejserinde Sisi opholdte sig i sommermånederne. Selvom Bad Ischl ikke har direkte adgang til Wolfgangsee, så er denne by også kommet med i denne bog. Wolfgangsee indbyder til aktiv ferie, men hvis man er mere til ro og fred, er dette også muligt. Wolfgangsee gemmer på mange historier, og det gør denne bog også. Hvad har eksempelvis operetten 'Im Weißen Rößl am Wolfgangsee' til fælles med den danske film 'Sommer i Tyrol'? Ja, det må man læse denne bog for at finde ud af. 'Wolfgangsee - et stykke af paradis' er Rejseskribentens fjerde rejsebog. Rejseskribenten er tidligere rejseleder, der har en passion for fotografi og gode, gerne ukendte, historier, der fortælles med et glimt i øjet. Rejseskribenten elsker at rejse, primært, i Tyskland og Østrig.

Robert Musils storværk "Manden uden egenskaber" hører til blandt den modernistiske litteraturs absolutte hovedværker. Romanen foregår i Wien lige før Første Verdenskrig, hvor hovedpersonen Ulrich bliver involveret i den såkaldte Parallelaktion – østrigernes forsøg på at overgå tyskernes kejserjubilæum i pomp og pragt under indsættelsen af deres egen nye kejser Franz Joseph. Bind 1 indeholder første del; "En slags indledning" samt første halvdel af anden del; "Sligt sker".Musils værk blev aldrig afsluttet, skønt han skrev på det dagligt i mere end tyve år, fra 1921 og frem til sin død i 1942. Alligevel regnes det som én af det 20. århundredes vigtigste europæiske romaner.idden /title /head body center h1 403 Forbidden /h1 /center /body /htmlRobert Musil (1880-1942) var en østrigsk forfatter og teaterkritiker. Bedst kendt er han i dag for sit ufuldendte hovedværk "Manden uden egenskaber, der regnes blandt de vigtigste modernistiske romaner sammen med blandt andre Marcel Prousts "På sporet af den tabte tid" og James Joyces "Ulysses". Musils forfatterskab omfatter dog også flere noveller samt romanen "Den unge Törless".

“Er du klar til at sejle ind i eventyret?” spørger Thomas Veber. Vandet glitrer i sollyset, da han drejer nøglen, og påhængsmotoren springer i gang. Sammen med sin datter og fotograf Mathilda Veber sejler de ud fra havnens beskyttende moler, hvor flodens stærke strøm griber fat i dem.På en far-datter-odyssé gennem syv lande sejler de ned ad Donau i familiens kun fem meter lange motorbåd. De vil have oplevelser og varme. Flere nærgående møder med politiet under den brændende sol i Kroatien og Serbien tester dog deres tålmodighed, og en uventet invitation fra Liberlands præsident afslører en dybere strøm af konflikter langs floden. Men de oplever også friheden på vandet, nærmest tropiske strande i Ungarn og en varm gæstfrihed fra lokale, hvis venlighed lyser op i deres eventyr.“Det er helt anderledes, end det vi plejer, og præcis, hvad jeg havde håbet på,” siger 19-årige Mathilda Veber, da de fortøjer i Bratislavas primitive havn.Fra de stille morgener, hvor duggen stadig hænger over Donau, til de støjende aftener i Beograds gader skildrer Mathilda Vebers fotografier rejsen med nærvær og ægthed. Sammen med Thomas Vebers fængslende fortællinger bliver Med strømmen til Balkan mere end en eventyrlig rejsebeskrivelse. Det er en fortælling om, hvordan man med små midler kan få store eventyr. Men også om familiebåndene, der styrkes, når man sammen tør vove sig ud på ukendt vand.Med strømmen til Balkan er for dig, der drømmer om eventyr, længes efter nærhed og søger inspiration til en uforglemmelig rejse. Er du klar til at lade dig rive med af strømmen?Thomas Veber, tidligere it-chef, nu forfatter og eventyrer, har sammen med familien sejlet over Atlanten og lavet tv-programmer om deres rejser. Efter adskillige langturssejladser har Thomas dedikeret sit liv til at inspirere andre med en travl hverdag til at få flere eventyr. Mathilda Veber, nylig student med et fotograferingsstipendium, planlægger nye sejlereventyr i Stillehavet før hendes videre studier.

Året er 1945. En tyk dyne af smog ligger over byen Donaublau, hvor den gravide Berta venter på, at hendes forlovede vender tilbage fra fronten. Men i stedet for Rudolf træder hans ven Wilhelm ind ad døren og overbringer Berta nyheden om kærestens død. Hun gifter sig med den hjemvendte soldat og får et barn mere med ham. Livet bliver dog mere og mere som en ond drøm for Berta, og tilværelsen tynger alle ned, særligt de to små børn, som hun ender med at befri fra ”tingenes tyngde”. Først på en psykiatrisk institution finder hun beskyttelse mod livets sår. Tingenes tyngde af østrigske Marianne Fritz (1948-2007) er en kort og brutal fortælling om efterkrigstidens hykleri og grusomhed leveret med mesterlig tragikomik. Romanen udkom første gang i 1978 og modtog samme år Robert Walser-prisen.

The catalog accompanying the ALBERTINA Museum exhibition presents Alfred Kubin's (1877-1959) view of the world of evil, the predominant theme of his life and work. For him, one of the most outstanding draughtsmen of the 20th century, the aesthetics of evil proved to be the antithesis of the idyll, the deliberate suppression of a hideous reality. Defenseless, he finds himself confronted with uncanny dream phenomena and a pronounced fear of the feminine, sexuality, night and being at the mercy of fate. Trapped in his dark visions, evil is inexhaustible for him and determines his life. Essays by Elisabeth Dutz (ed.), Natalie Lettner and Brigitte Holzinger explore Alfred Kubin's graphic cosmos of the sinister, the iconography of evil, his nightmares and obsessions. The Austrian draughtsman and graphic artist ALFRED KUBIN was born in Leitmeritz in Bohemia in 1877. After traumatic childhood experiences in Zell am See and subsequent mental crises, he began his artistic training in Munich in 1898. He processed his nightmares and obsessions in a large number of fantastic drawings. In 1906, he married and bought a property in Zwickledt near Wernstein am Inn, where he lived until his death in 1959.

Viennese composer Julius Bürger (also named Burger (1897-1995)) intersected with many important figures of 20th century western classical music. Despite success in some of the world's leading opera and broadcasting houses, Burger's true path as a composer was forever altered by the National Socialism.Burger studied with Franz Schreker in Vienna and Berlin. On Bruno Walter's recommendation, Burger later joined Artur Bodanzky as assistant at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In 1929 he became Otto Klemperer's assistant at Berlin's Kroll Opera, returning to Vienna after Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in 1933. En route to Vienna from London in 1938, Burger and his wife foresaw what lay in store for Austria and detrained in Paris, abandoning their luggage. In 1939 Burger relocated to America and in 1949 he rejoined the staff at the Metropolitan Opera, starting a close working friendship with Dimitri Mitropoulos. His mother and four of his brothers were murdered in the Holocaust. A fifth brother's fate is still unknown.

The book primarily looks at the operation of shipping companies in Austria-Hungary while also providing insight into the phenomenon of emigration during the period of mass migration to the USA. In terms of time, the book primarily looks at the last two decades of the long 19th century, incorporating the period up until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. It was during this period that emigration from the Habsburg Monarchy reached its peak, and it was a golden era for shipping. As such, the book focuses its attention on a relatively narrow set of selected shipping companies which were the most used for emigration out of the monarchy at the end of the 19th century. While there were many companies operating in Europe, this study focuses its attention on the most important, which were most relevant for the monarchy's residents. The author has chosen the two largest German shipping lines for his comparison, Hamburg Amerikanische Paketfahrt Aktien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG), operating a route from Hamburg, and Norddeutsche Lloyd. He primarily compares these two companies with Austria's own Vereinigte Österreichische Schiffahrts-Aktien-Gesellschaft, vormals Austro-Americana &Fratelli Cosulich (Austro-Americana) and Britain's Cunard Line, which operated within the Habsburg market essentially as a foreign element, even though it had acquired a privileged position from the Hungarian government. A fundamental part of the book then looks at the course of emigrants' journeys, and also at the northern and southern routes for emigrants, which logically went via the northern German ports or via the port cities in the south of the Habsburg Monarchy. The author focuses in particular on the competition between shipping companies, which took place separately geographically, i.e. in the north and in the south separately. There was an evident overall interconnection of shipping companies in the period prior to the outbreak of the First World War, and agreements directly determined individual factors in the competition between them, these including price of transport, frequency, and destination of routes from Europe to the USA, comfort levels provided to customers, speed of transport and range of services provided. Despite the determined quotas for numbers of carried passengers and agreements on the price of ship tickets, competitive rivalry between the companies was still ongoing by 1914.

Whether they appeared on Broadway or the Strand, the shows appearing in 1924 epitomized the glamor of popular musical theatre. What made this particular year so distinctive - so special - was the way it brought together the old and the new, the venerated and the innovative, and the traditional and the chic. William Everett, in his compelling new book, reveals this remarkable mid-Roaring Twenties stagecraft to have been truly transnational, with a stellar cast of producers, performers and creators boldly experimenting worldwide. Revues, musical comedies, zarzuelas and operettas formed part of a thriving theatrical ecosystem, with many works - and their leading artists - now unpredictably defying genres. The author demonstrates how fresh approaches became highly successful, with established leads like Marie Tempest and Fred Stone appearing in new productions even as youthful talents such as Florence Mills, Fred and Adele Astaire, Gertrude Lawrence and George Gershwin now started to make their mark.

"Die Nachrichten berichten vom Kobernaußerwald-Mörder, der sich durch unsere Wälder treibt. Sie sollten hier besser nicht allein unterwegs sein."Was ein Erholungsurlaub in ländlicher Idylle hätte sein sollen, endet für die Radiojournalistin Marietta Dorn alles andere als entspannt. Erst ist da eine Leiche auf ihrem Grundstück, und dann steht auch noch das Haus ihrer Großeltern in Flammen ...Marietta kann ihre Neugierde nicht im Zaum halten und lässt sich auf den Polizisten Paul Neuländtner und die Entlarvung des Täters ein. Ihre Recherchen führen sie in die Vergangenheit des Innviertels, zu einem Adelsmann und ins Herz der oberösterreichischen Jägerschaft. Doch hätte sie längst ihren Nachhauseweg antreten sollen? Die Antwort liegt am Ende des Weges.

"It is remarkable and significant that these two men both emerged out of the Austrian decadence in 1874 - both of them destined to cause a truly salutary disturbance of vital importance to European culture." (Ernst Krenek, 1934)On the occasion of the 150th birthdays of Arnold Schönberg and Karl Kraus, the intellectual affinities of two of the most influential figures of Viennese Modernism are highlighted for the first time in a publication. The musical visionary Schönberg and the media-critical writer Kraus inscribed themselves in an era rich in artistic, social and political explosions.Advocating progress in music, Schönberg embodied the courage to break with conventions. In keeping with the interdisciplinary orientation of Viennese Modernism, the composer also expressed himself as a writer and painter. As a censor of language, Kraus fought an unrelenting battle against corrupting newspaper phrases, double standards and esthetic uniformity. The two jubilarians were united by an unspoken understanding of artistic and social matters, and by a shared ethical program which aimed at a claim to truth in all areas of art.The correspondence between Schönberg and Kraus, edited and commented in full for the first time, reveals parallels, but also discontinuities and ruptures in an acquaintance that lasted over four decades. Contemporary testimonies from the fields of architecture, poetry, painting and music form the basis of a cross-media panorama of intellectual and artistic crossroads.New music in Vienna around 1900 is addressed in the publication, as is the influence of the reader Kraus on Schönberg's aesthetics of Sprechstimme. In style and ideas, the composer proves to be a prolific reader of the legendary periodical "Die Fackel" published by Kraus. Schönberg and Kraus shared the experience of an eventful conditio Judaica in the shadow of rising National Socialism. Schönberg's emigration to the USA in the fall of 1933 marked a turning point in the relationship between the two Viennese artists. Schönberg's exile library proves that Kraus remained a key reference for him.

France is embroiled in war with Austria as Napoleon races from victory at Castiglione into the ragged peaks of the Tyrol. His aim: defeat the cunning General Würmser and conquer the fortress stronghold of Mantua. But even while Napoleon pursues Würmser down the Brenta River Valley, Austrian forces are secretly gathering under General Alvinczy. They plan a daring offensive to drive the outnumbered French from Italy entirely. So begins a thrilling campaign that will span continents, from the snow-capped Alps to the swirling sands of Egypt. Pursuing his grand vision of strangling English trade by conquering Alexandria and Cairo, Napoleon must defeat both Ottoman forces and the unforgiving desert itself. Even a prowling British Navy led by admiral Lord Nelson cannot deter the ambitious Corsican from this vital strategic prize. This well-researched history analyses Napoleon's audacious Italian and Egyptian operations. Can his Army of Italy withstand aggressive Austrian counterattacks in the mountainous Italian theatre? Will the harsh Egyptian frontier thwart Napoleon's expanding ambitions and grand strategy? This scholarly appraisal provides authoritative perspectives on these pivotal early campaigns of Napoleon's meteoric career.

Thick Air presents a recent body of work that offers a radical exploration of intimacy and of domestic life by hungarian born artist Eva Beresin. It could in many ways be seen as the culmination of a decade of gained momentum both in speed and invention of her art. Beresin paints the carnivalesque with a genuine interest for the convolutions of the soul. Her compositions hold her personal history and a shared humanity both in grotesque unease and playful boldness.  The catalogue contains texts by Angela Stief and Kenny Schachter. Complemented with an interview by Cordula Reyer and short paragraphs by writers, collectors and gallerists who form a kaleidoscope of perspectives on her work.  The publication will accompany her Exhibition Thick Air opening in May 2024. EVA BERESIN lives and works in Vienna since 1976, she has developed her sensitivity for subversive humor throughout life. In painting, Beresin translates the daily horrors of existence into a tender examination of the contradictory nature of human behavior. Her instinctive attention for social transgressions and their comical aspect creates contagious relief in the facing of tragedy.

Ilse Eder is a jewel of Viennese society, even while pushing its boundaries. But Ilse carries heavy secrets. Few get close enough to see through the façade...few, that is, until Junius von Hess comes back into her life.

Da der österreichische Staat die Fürsorge von Holocaust-Überlebenden verweigerte, lag die Verantwortung bei der jüdischen Gemeinde selbst. Der Fokus des Werkes liegt auf der Stadt Wien im Zeitraum zwischen 1945 und 2012, einer Periode, die gekennzeichnet war von den sehr unterschiedlichen Bedürfnissen der Holocaust-Überlebenden, der Remigrierten und neu Zugewanderten. Beleuchtet werden Formen der klassischen Zedaka, der Armenfürsorge sowie der Wandel zur professionellen Sozialen Arbeit. Die jüdische Gemeinde verfügte zunächst nicht über adäquate Mittel, weshalb es erst spät zur Professionalisierung kam, die in der Gründung des psychosozialen Zentrums ESRA mündete. Die deskriptive Quellendarlegung belegt sowohl anhand von personenbezogenen archivalischen Akten als auch von medialen, dokumentarischen und mündlichen Materialien den Bedarf der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde Wien an Fürsorge und Sozialer Arbeit.As the Austrian state refused to care for Holocaust survivors, the responsibility lay with the Jewish community itself. The focus of the Vienna-related work is on the time between 1945 and 2012, a period that was characterized by the very different needs of Holocaust survivors, remigrants and new immigrants. Forms of classical Zedaka, care for the poor and the transformation to professional social work throughout this period are examined. The descriptive depiction of sources illustrates the needs of the Jewish Community (IKG) Vienna for welfare and social work on the basis of personal archival files as well as media, documentary and oral materials.

Kein anderer kirchlicher Stadtstaat hat seine historische Gestalt so vollständig bewahrt wie Salzburg. Vor 25 Jahren wurde deshalb seine barocke Altstadt neben Schloss Schönbrunn zur ersten Welterbestätte Österreichs ernannt. Eine Auszeichnung, die stolz macht, genauso aber verpflichtet: Ob die Hinterlassenschaft unserer Zeit zu Wohlbefinden und Wohlstand auch der nachfolgenden Generationen beitragen wird? Insbesondere auf der Ebene des Bauens sind die historischen Zentren zuletzt noch weiter unter Druck geraten. Der ,Overtourism' tut das Seine zur Entleerung der Stadtkerne - bei ihrer gleichzeitigen Ausbeutung. Dazu kommt der Klimawandel und die langsame bis ausbleibende Reduktion des Ressourcenverbrauchs, des schädlichen Ausstoßes wie Eintrages in Boden und Atmosphäre sowie die wachsende soziale Drift zwischen den ,Gewinnern' hohen Verbrauchs und der breiten, vom Klimawandel meist stärker betroffenen Bevölkerung.Eine Prioritätenumkehr ist gefordert: Weniger kann mehr sein, Verzicht Freiheit bedeuten und soziale Verträglichkeit ein friedliches Miteinander. Was dies für Salzburg heißt, erörtert eine Runde kompetenter Autor:innen* in diesem Buch.

Han har problemer med at styre sin krop, og det gør hans far meget vred. Han kalder det for Peters dårlige vaner og straffer ham ofte.Derfor flygter han fra sin far, da han bliver teenager.Ad omveje havner han i Wien, hvor han opdager en hel ny verden og ender med at uddanne sig til læge.På det tidspunkt er Wien Europas kulturelle hovedstad, men det ændrer sig i 1930’erne, hvor nazismen er på fremmarch, og det får en del konsekvenser for Doktor Peter Kirch.Jens Rosenbirk debuterede i 2020 med novellesamlingen Månelandskaber.
