Katja Hoyer
AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
From the author of the international bestseller Beyond the Wall, a history of interwar Germany told through the town of Weimar, the cultural capital that was both the birthplace of the country’s first full democracy and a launchpad for the Nazis.
“Katja Hoyer is a humane and compassionate writer, and her gripping book is poignant reading in our present circumstances.” —Benjamin Carter Hett, author of The Death of Democracy
The Central German town of Weimar is perhaps most familiar to non-Germans for giving its name to the Weimar Republic. After Germany’s inglorious defeat in World War I, the signing of a new constitution in Weimar marked the nation’s first experiment with full-fledged democracy. And yet this storied town, long known as a center of German culture and tradition, was also the place where Nazis were first welcomed into a local government, a milestone in Adolf Hitler’s fateful rise to power.
In Weimar, historian Katja Hoyer examines Weimar as a microcosm for the entire German nation between the world wars. The Weimar Republic saw a flourishing in culture and the arts, including the establishment in Weimar of the Bauhaus school of architecture. But after Hitler seized the chancellorship in 1933, the town underwent rapid Nazification, with many ordinary Weimarers basking in the attention they and their town received from the regime and from Hitler personally.
Combining gripping narrative with deep historical analysis, Weimar explores both the political upheavals and the rhythms of daily life in one town, revealing how fascism took hold first there, and then across the nation.
批評家のレビュー
“Lucid, lively. … Entirely to her credit, Hoyer describes the vices, vanities, fears, cowardice, heroism, naivety, cynicism, opportunism and the very human instinct to protect one's loved ones without indulging in self-righteous moralising.”
—New Statesman“Hoyer's book confronts us with troubling ambiguities … Understanding why ordinary, even likeable, people turned away from democracy is, she argues, essential to safeguarding freedom … that task could scarcely be more urgent.”
—Guardian“A nuanced account of the spiritual and cultural heart of Germany … Hoyer serves up history with a human heart”
—The Irish Times“Katja Hoyer’s Weimar is a compelling tale of the city during this period through the eyes and voices of its myriad—and diverse—residents ... a magisterial account of interwar Germany.”
—Los Angeles Review of Books“A powerful synthesis of history and deeply personal stories as a clear cautionary tale for our own time.”
—Jewish Book Council“Combining gripping narrative with deep historical analysis, Weimar explores both the political upheavals and the rhythms of daily life in one town, revealing how fascism took hold first there, and then across the nation.”
—Jewish Book World“…a gripping narrative.”
—Art in America
