Bøger af Brigitte Reimann

Vi var søskende er en stærk fortælling om, hvordan et totalitært styre kiler sig ned gennem en ung kvindes liv og får fatale konsekvenser for alt fra hendes familieliv over hendes kærlighedsliv til hende professionelle virke. Romanen udkom for første gang i 1963, men blev censureret af DDR-styret. Nu udkommer den for første gang på dansk - i sin fulde form. Udgives i Gyldendals Skala-serie.

1960. The border between East and West Germany has closed.For Elisabeth - a young painter - the GDR is her generation's chance to build an egalitarian socialist future. For her brother Uli, it is a place of stricture and oppression. Separating them is the ever-wider chasm of the party line; over them loom the twin spectres of opportunity and fear, and the shadow of their defector brother Konrad. In prose as bold as a scarlet paint stroke, Brigitte Reimann battles with the clash of idealism and suppression, familial loyalty and desire. This fervid, ground-breaking novel, written when Reimann was only twenty-seven, remains one of the cult classics of East German literature.
