This collection of essays is devoted to the Jewish themes that ran through Lion Feuchtwanger’s life, works and worlds. Beginning with a selection of Feuchtwanger’s unpublished writings, speeches, and interviews, the volume examines the author’s approaches to Jewish history, Zionism, Judaism’s relationship to early Christianity and to eastern religions, and Jewish identity through his works, above all his historical fiction. Essays also trace translations of his works into English and Russian, and the meaning of his writing for various communities of Jewish and non-Jewish readers in Britain, North America, and the Soviet Union. A final section frames the issues around Feuchtwanger and Jewishness more broadly by considering the condition of exile and expanding the focus to communities of émigré writers and political figures in North America and beyond.

"Extraordinary . . . No single historical or fictional work has more tellingly or insightfully depicted . . . the insidious manner in which Nazism began to permeate the fabric of German society than Lion Feuchtwanger's great novel."--New York Times First published in 1934 but fully imagining the future of Germany over the ensuing years, The Oppermanns tells the compelling story of a remarkable German Jewish family confronted by Hitler's rise to power. Compared to works by Voltaire and Zola on its original publication, this prescient novel strives to awaken an often unsuspecting, sometimes politically naive, or else willfully blind world to the consequences of its stance in the face of national events--in this case, the rising tide of Nazism in 1930s Germany. The past and future meet in the saga of the Oppermanns, for three generations a family commercially well established in Berlin. In assimilated citizens like them, the emancipated Jew in Germany has become a fact. In a Berlin inhabited by troops in brown shirts, however, the Oppermanns have more to fear than an alien discomfort. For along with the swastikas and fascist salutes come discrimination, deceit, betrayal, and a tragedy that history has proved to be as true as this novel's astonishing, profoundly moving tale.

Neuware - Es gab Zeiten, da blickten berühmte Staatsmänner wie Churchill oder Intellektuelle wie Hannah Arendt, Lion Feuchtwanger oder Heinrich Mann voller Achtung und Bewunderung auf Stalin und auf das von ihm geführte Land. Doch mit dem Kalten Krieg und nicht zuletzt mit der Geheimrede Chruschtschows wurde Stalin zu einem 'Monster', das vielleicht nur mit Hitler zu vergleichen sei. Domenico Losurdo setzt sich mit den Konflikten und Interessen auseinander, die diesem Umsturz der Sichtweise zugrunde liegen. Er nimmt diesen radikalen Gegensatz der Stalinbilder zum Anlass, sie allesamt zu problematisieren, statt eines davon zu verabsolutieren. Hierfür betrachtet er die sowjetische Geschichte auf der Grundlage einer umfassenden Komparatistik der Tragödien des 20. Jahrhunderts, entdämonisiert Stalin und stellt eine Reihe der gegen ihn erhobenenen Beschuldigungen in ihren historischen Zusammenhang.
