商品簡介 |
| Dear reader, Anyone expecting a melancholic epitaph for a bygone era in my book "Art & Literature in East Germany - Resistance Between the Lines" will be disappointed. I myself grew up in East Germany and spent half of my life there. There is nothing politically desirable about that time, and nothing of it should be repeated. The other half I spent in united Germany, and while some aspects could have been better, many were indeed better. One had the freedom to adapt or to drift through the years. That seems to be changing lately. What needs to be said sometimes becomes unspeakable. Thoughts must occasionally be rethought. Some words withdraw back between the lines and must be found there. In this context, I want to introduce you to my book - a collection of stories and history about courage, resistance, and creativity during a time of oppression and political change. "Art & Literature in East Germany - Resistance Between the Lines" is a book that captures the secret voices of the artists who lived and worked during the time of the German Democratic Republic. Their stories were often told in secret, hidden between the lines of their works and away from the eyes of censors. They may serve as examples of people who dared to think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable, despite speech and thought prohibitions. East Germany was marked by an ideological dictatorship in which artists faced numerous challenges. Art was viewed by the party as a means of propaganda and solidifying the socialist regime. Every artistic expression was carefully monitored and controlled. However, despite these restrictive conditions, many found ways to express their ideas and criticisms by pushing the boundaries of what was allowed or subtly resisting the system. In this book, we will immerse ourselves in the world of East German art, which provides insight into the lives of artists who confronted the painful realities of everyday life with their creativity and resistance.
