The story of an East German woman who reached adolescence during World War II, embraced the new world order, had her enthusiasm and idealism gradually corroded by the crass materialists around her, married and had a family, and suddenly died a relatively young woman. Her heroism, that of the ordinary, intelligent and sensitive private person, becomes the story of a whole generation. The quest for Christa T. has no overt political theme, yet it is imbued with the awareness of political implications that only a socialist writer can have

The story is set in 1960 and 1961, a moment of high political cold war tension between the East Bloc and the West, a time when many thousands of people were leaving the young German Democratic Republic (the GDR) every day in order to seek better lives in West Germany, or escape the political ideology of the new country that promoted the "farmer and peasant" state over a state run by intellectuals or capitalists

1804: Die Brentanos haben zum Tee geladen. Man trifft sich in illustrer Runde in Winkel am Rhein. Unter die anwesenden Gäste mischen sich auch Heinrich von Kleist und Karoline von Gründerrode - beide Schriftsteller und beide auf der Suche nach einem Platz in der Welt. Die zwei Künstler merken schnell, dass sie sich nicht in die Gespräche der Teegesellschaft einfinden können. So bleiben sie auch an diesem Nachmittag Außenseiter, bis sie im jeweils anderen eine verwandte Seele erkennen. Heinrich von Kleist und Karoline von Gründerrode kehren alsbald den ihnen fremden Diskussionen den Rücken zu und brechen zu einem ausgedehnten Spaziergang auf. Was beide schon vermuteten, bestätigt sich: Im jeweils anderen erkennen sie einen Seelenverwandten, sind sie doch immer Fremde geblieben in einer ihnen eng und feindlich erscheinenden Welt. Da ist kein Ort. Nirgends. Wenige Jahre später begehen beide Selbstmord

"On a flawless spring day in late April, an East German writer awaits a call from the hospital where her brother is undergoing brain surgery and instead receives news of a massive nuclear accident at Chernobyl, one thousand miles away. In a potent, lyrical stream of thought, the narrator confronts both mortality and life and, above all, the importance of each moment lived."--BOOK JACKET

Was geschieht, wenn die eigenen vier Wände zum öffentlichen Raum werden? Gespräche abgehört, alltägliche Besorgungen observiert werden? In "Was bleibt" beschreibt Christa Wolf einen Tag im Leben einer Ostberliner Schriftstellerin, die ganz offen von der Stasi überwacht wird - mit tiefgreifenden psychischen und physischen Folgen. Die Erzählung, die 1979 verfasst, aber erst 1990 veröffentlicht wurde, war Auslöser des deutsch-deutschen Literaturstreits über die gesellschaftliche Rolle der DDR-Schriftsteller und über die politischen Möglichkeiten von Literatur überhaupt. Ein einzigartiges literarisches Zeugnis deutscher Geschichte - ungekürzt gelesen von Eva Garg

The most prominent writer of the German Democratic Republic and its most famous cultural export, Wolf was called East Germany's "Mother Confessor" and treated by the West German press as emblematic of GDR intellectuals. After reunification, Wolf published a novella titled What Remains, which was bitterly attacked by the press as a belated attempt to establish herself as a victim of the Stasi (the GDR's secret police). The criticism discredited Wolf as a cultural hero in the eyes of many Germans and plunged her into a deep personal crisis. Parting from Phantoms shows Wolf coming to terms with her ambiguous past and an unforgiving present

Christa Wolf was arguably the best-known and most influential writer in the former East Germany. Having grown up during the Nazi regime, she and her family were forced to flee their home like many others, nearly starving to death in the process. Her earliest novels were controversial because they contained veiled criticisms of the Communist regime which landed her on government watch lists. Her past continued to permeate her work and her life, as she said, "You can only fight sorrow when you look it in the eye." August is Christa Wolf's last piece of fiction, written in a single sitting as an anniversary gift to her husband. In it, she revisits her stay at a tuberculosis hospital in the winter of 1946, a real life event that was the inspiration for the closing scenes of her 1976 novel Patterns of Childhood

Gesundwerden bedeutet, Kranksein nicht mehr für den einzig möglichen Zustand zu halten. Zu dieser Erkenntnis gelangt die Erzählerin, nachdem sie wochenlang gegen eine lebensbedrohliche Krankheit gekämpft hat. Vom Aufenthalt im Krankenhaus, vom Umgang mit Ärzten und Pflegepersonal, aber auch von der Auseinandersetzung mit sich selbst, mit der eigenen Geschichte und dem Staat, in dem sie lebt, wird hier berichtet, vielschichtig und mit scharfer Beobachtungsgabe. "Ein starkes Stück Rekonvaleszentenliteratur", urteilte die Süddeutsche Zeitung über Christa Wolfs Geschichte einer Krankheit, die weit mehr als eine körperliche ist

Im Jahr 1960 rief die russische Zeitschrift "Istwestija" Schriftsteller und Schriftstellerinnen dazu auf, den 27. September bestmöglich zu charakterisieren. Die damals 31-jährige Autorin Christa Wolf kommt dieser Aufforderung in besonderem Maße nach: Nachdem ihr bewusst wird, welche herausragende Bedeutung ein einzelner Tag bekommt, wenn man sich intensiv mit ihm befasst, macht sie die Beschreibung dieses Herbsttags zum alljährlichen Ritual. Fortan fasst sie an jedem 27. September ihre Gedanken zusammen, analysiert ihr Familienleben oder setzt sich kritisch mit dem DDR-Regime auseinander
