Pabst, who left Europe for Hollywood to resist the Nazis and then returned to his homeland with his wife and young son and began making films for the German Reich.An artist's life, a pact with the devil, a novel about the dangerous illusions of the silver screen.G.W. Pabst, one of cinema's greatest, perhaps the greatest director of his era: when the Nazis seized power he was filming in France, to escape the horrors of the new Germany he flees to Hollywood. But under the blinding California sun, the world-famous director suddenly looks like a nobody. Not even Greta Garbo, who he made famous, can help him. And thus, almost through no fault of his own, he finds himself back in his homeland of Austria, which is now called Ostmark. The returning family is confronted with the barbaric nature of the regime. But Goebbels, the minister of propaganda in Berlin, wants the film genius, he won't take no for an answer and makes big promises. While Pabst still believes that he will be able to resist these advances, that he will not submit to any dictatorship other than art, he has already taken the first steps into a hopeless entanglement.Daniel Kehlmann's novel about art and power, beauty and barbarism is a triumph. The Director shows what literature is capable of.

Fictional Selves

Duits | Hardback / gebonden | 9783864933622 | 2026 | 352 Pagina's

Der junge Mann, der ein abgetrenntes Ohr findet. Der exzentrische und koffeingetriebene FBI-Agent. Der unfähige Ehemann unter der Fuchtel seiner Mutter. Kyle MacLachlan hat im Laufe seiner Karriere viele Rollen gespielt, die so ikonisch geworden sind, dass er als Person ganz dahinter verschwindet. In seinem Memoir setzt er sich mit den fiktiven Versionen seiner selbst auseinander und mit der verwirrenden Frage, wer er eigentlich selbst ist. Kyle MacLachlan nimmt die Leser:innen mit auf einen ergreifenden, selbstreflexiven und unterhaltsamen Streifzug durch seine Höhen und Tiefen, sein Wachstum und seine Rückschritte als Schauspieler und Mensch. Vom kuriosen Anfang seiner Karriere, als er aus der obskuren Theaterszene Seattles gepflückt wurde, um im 40-Millionen-Dollar-Flop Dune mitzuspielen, über die Kollaborationen mit seinem lebenslangen Freund und kreativen Partner David Lynch bis zu den verschiedenen Versuchen, durch die Höhen des Fernsehens (Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives) und die Tiefen des Films (Showgirls) zu navigieren.
