H I S TO RY Joachim Radkau Theodor Heuss They called him ‘Papa’, but Theodor Heuss was much more than the rigid, incorruptible paterfamilias of the early Federal Republic. He went down in history as the man who bolstered the nation’s post-war resolve at a crucial time, inspiring it with courage and self-confidence as well as reawakening the people’s zest for life. »Loosening up«, he called it. Very few people held the fact that he’d helped vote Hitler into the Reichstag against him. In his sweeping biography, Joachim Radkau presents this multi-faceted, contradictory personality: aesthete and cynic, politician and economist, with an eclectic range of interests from technology to art and design. Theodor Heuss embodied the modernization of the German nation from the Imperial Era through to the early years of the Federal Republic and paved the ground for post-war society like no other. Radkau’s biography reappraises him as a central figure in German history – and also opens a new perspective on the early years of the Federal Republic. 512 pages with illustrations and index. Hardcover Publication date: September 2013 Joachim Radkau was born in 1943. He teaches modern history at the University of Bielefeld. Hanser has published his previous books Das Zeitalter der Nervosität: Deutschland zwischen Bismarck und Hitler (1998), and Max Weber: Die Leidenschaft des Denkens (2005). »Radkau’s exceptional book brings out, for the first time, the interrelations between Weber's thought and his life experience. There are sensational revelations about the great enigmas of Weber's life and his suffering and eroticism, his fears and desires, and his great creative power. Radkau presents a previously unknown Weber and allows his many admirers and modern day students to gain a new appreciation of his life and work.« Lancashire on Max Weber. A passionate Thinker »Seldom has a biography dealt with sources in such a detailed way. Seldom has a work given such a full picture of the protagonist's intellectual context and social milieu.« Die Zeit on Max Weber. A passionate Thinker Sales to Foreign Countries Max Weber.

H I S TO RY H I S TO RY The new Europe – grass-roots reunification at long last! © Peter-Andreas Hassiepen Have we lost touch with the future? Are we unable to let go of an obsolete vision of the past? Aleida Assmann shows how and why our relationship with time has changed over the course of the last decades. Karl Schlögel made a name for himself as a chronicler of Eastern European countries and their gradual reintegration into Europe. The re-formation of the continent has breathed new life into the old centres and they are now linked with the rest of Europe by busy transnational highways. The new Europeans move freely across borders, exchanging trade and knowledge. But joint membership of the global market also left East and West equally vulnerable to the economic meltdown of 2008 – their first shared test of strength – forcing them to ride the waves of the worldwide economy together. In his speeches and essays Karl Schlögel examines this new Europe – a continent that is gradually casting off decades of division. Far more than a history of recent times, his work explores the continuously shifting undercurrents of contemporary European culture. »Karl Schögel stands alone among German historians of contemporary Eastern Europe. Very few others write quite so eloquently and compellingly on this complex subject.« Die Zeit on Reading Time through Space »An extraordinarily erudite and experienced reporter, explorer, mediator and investigator.« NZZ on Marjampole Karl Schlögel Grenzland Europa Unterwegs auf einem neuen Kontinent Borderland Europe En route to a new continent Poems. Approx. 128 pages. Hardcover Publication date: August 2013 Karl Schlögel was born in 1948. He read philosophy, sociology, Eastern European history and Slavic studies at the Free University of Berlin, in Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Until 2013 he was Professor of Eastern European History at the Viadrina European University in Frankfurt an der Oder. In 2011 Hanser published Moskau lesen. There is increasing insecurity and perplexity as far as time is concerned. Time has gone awry: out of joint, like it was for Shakespeare‘s Hamlet. The future can’t be relied on to deliver the promises it held, the present has become diffuse and complex, and the past, instead of being bygone, keeps coming back to haunt us in manifold guises. The reason for this temporal disorder is the decline of the modernist time system. Until recently we focused our sights expectantly on the future as the past slid smoothly away behind us. But the concept of temporal order has fallen into disarray. Aleida Assmann reviews our current day complex relationship with time and contrasts it with the way it once served as a social and cultural guideline drawing on examples from history and literature. She examines the causes that brought about the crisis of the modernist time regime and explains what led to its eventual demise. Aleida Assmann Ist die Zeit aus den Fugen? Aufstieg und Fall des Zeitregimes der Moderne Is Time out of Joint? The rise and fall of time in the age of modernity 272 pages. Hardcover Publication date: September 2013 Aleida Assmann was born in 1947, and teaches English and Literary Studies at the University of Constance. In 2011 she was awarded the Ernst Robert Curtius Prize for essay writing. »Cultural Memory and Western Civilization provides an unsurpassed starting point for the understanding of the human as, in Nietzsche’s words, an animal who remembers«.
