East German Writers and the Politics of Culture: Dealing with the Stasi
Автор:Paul Cooke Год: 2004 Издание:Palgrave Macmillan Страниц: 272 ISBN: 1403913269 Before the fall of the Berlin Wall many East German writers were praised in the Western world as dissident voices of truth, bravely struggling with the draconian constraints of living under the GDR's communist regime. However, since unification, Germany hs been rocked by scandals showing the level to which the Stasi, the East German Secret Police, controlled these same writers. This is the first study in English to systematically explore how the writers have responded to the challenge of dealing with the tasi from the 1950s to the present day.
