”Hjerteskærende, saltholdig historie om de muligheder, vi går glip af” Irish IndependentKunne De, kære læser, lide Donal Ryans roman Rust, så gå ikke glip af Sheila Armstrongs I fald! På en forblæst kystlinjes strand sidder en bleg skikkelse roligt op ad en klit og stirrer ud over havet. Hans hænder er foldet pænt i skødet, anklerne krydsede, der hviler et svagt smil på hans livløse ansigt.Herfra folder romandebuterende Sheila Armstrong en stemningsfuld, smuk fortælling ud om de mennesker, der forsøger at finde frem til sandheden om manden. Undervejs toner en anden sandhed frem: Vi alle er døende dyr – med glimt af chancer, vi skal være varsomme med at gå glip af; dyr dybt forbundne til hinanden.Sheila Armstrong er fra det nordvestlige Irland. Hun har arbejdet ti år i forlagsbranchen og er nu freelanceredaktør ved siden af sin forfattervirksomhed. Hun debuterede i 2022 med novellesamlingen At flå en fisk, mens I fald er hendes romandebut.

Die Studie analysiert erstmals den Umgang italienischer, deutscher und französischer Sozialisten mit Faschismus und Nationalsozialismus über mehr als vier Jahrzehnte hinweg in vergleichender und beziehungsgeschichtlicher Perspektive. Im Mittelpunkt der individual- und kollektivbiographischen Untersuchung stehen die pluralen Erfahrungen, Erwartungen und Erinnerungen der Akteure im Spannungsfeld von Diktatur und Demokratie zwischen 1919 und 1960. Die vergleichend und verflechtungsgeschichtlich angelegte Arbeit geht teils synchron, teils diachron vor, um erstens den Prozesscharakter abzubilden und die Entwicklung des Umgangs von Sozialisten mit Faschismus und Nationalsozialismus darzustellen, um zweitens den Vergleich durch Wahrnehmungsperspektiven und transnationale Momente zu ergänzen und drittens, um Eigenheiten und Unterschiede ebenso wie Ähnlichkeiten und Verbindendes herauszuarbeiten. Sie zeigt, dass neben internationaler Ausrichtung und transnationalen Netzwerken nationale Prägungen und Handlungsrahmen bei den untersuchten Akteursgruppen weiterhin in hohem Maße relevant blieben und leistet somit einen wichtigen Beitrag zu einer differenzierten transnationalen Geschichte der europäischen Arbeiterbewegung im 20. Jahrhundert.
