    Robert Menasse hielt diese Rede anlässlich der Feierstunde »60 Jahre Römische Verträge« am 21. März 2017 im Europäischen Parlament. Ergänzt wird der vorliegende Band durch das »Manifest zur Begründung einer Europäischen Republik«. Wer die ursprüngliche Idee der Europäischen Union als nachnationale Ordnung weiterdenkt, muss irgendwann den Nationalstaat infrage stellen. Diese Ansicht vertreten Robert Menasse und die Politologin Ulrike Guérot. In ihrem »Manifest« haben sie ein revolutionäres Konzept für die Weiterentwicklung der EU verfasst, das mittlerweile sowohl bei vielen EU-Parlamentariern als auch bei Regionalpolitikern Anklang findet.

    A highly inventive novel of ideas written in the rich European tradition, The Capital transports readers to the cobblestoned streets of twenty-first-century Brussels. Chosen as the European Union's symbolic capital in 1958, this elusive setting has never been examined so intricately in literature. Translated with "zest, pace and wit" (Spectator) by Jamie Bulloch, Robert Menasse's The Capital plays out the effects of a fiercely nationalistic "union."Recalling the Balzacian conceit of assembling a vast parade of characters whose lives conspire to form a driving central plot, Menasse adapts this technique with modern sensibility to reveal the hastily assembled capital in all of its eccentricities. We meet, among others, Fenia Xenopoulou, a Greek Cypriot recently "promoted" to the Directorate-General for Culture. When tasked with revamping the boring image of the European Commission with the Big Jubilee Project, she endorses her Austrian assistant Martin Sussman's idea to proclaim Auschwitz as its birthplace-of course, to the horror of the other nation states. Meanwhile, Inspector Émile Brunfaut attempts to solve a gritty murder being suppressed at the highest level; Matek, a Polish hitman who regrets having never become a priest, scrambles after taking out the wrong man; and outraged pig farmers protest trade restrictions as a brave escapee squeals through the streets.These narratives and more are masterfully woven, revealing the absurdities-and real dangers-of a fracturing Europe. A tour de force from one of Austria's most esteemed novelists, The Capital is a mordantly funny and piercingly urgent saga of the European Union, and an aerial feat of sublime world literature.

  • - Or Why the Democracy Given to Us Must Become One We Fight For
    af Robert Menasse

    In March 2010, Robert Menasse went to Brussels to begin researching a novel about the European Union. Instead of producing a work of fiction, however, his extended stay in Brussels resulted in The European Courier, a text in which he examines the European community from its beginnings in the transnational "Montanunion" (European Coal and Steel Community, 1951) to the current "financial crisis" of the European Union. In the course of his analysis, Menasse focuses on the institutional structures and forces that work to advance--or obstruct--the European project and its goal of a truly postnational European democracy. Given the internal tensions among the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council, Menasse argues that what is frequently misunderstood as a financial crisis is, in fact, a political one. As Menasse claims in The European Courier, "Either the Europe of nation-states will perish or the project of transcending the nation-states will."
