Anfang 2016 wird Adolf Hitlers Mein Kampf im Rahmen einer wissenschaftlich kommentierten Edition zum ersten Mal seit Kriegsende wieder in Deutschland zu kaufen sein. Die Verouml;ffentlichung bietet Anlass; aufs Neue den furchtbaren Erfolg der rsaquo;Bibel der Nazislsaquo; zu ergruuml;nden. Es ist nauml;mlich keinesfalls klar; warum das politisch wirre; peinlich geifernde und eigentlich nicht ernstzunehmende Machwerk eine solche Wirkung erzielen konnte. Angesichts offensichtlicher inhaltlicher Absurditauml;ten; die auch schon zu Zeiten der Originalverouml;ffentlichung bemerkt wurden; nauml;hert sich Albrecht Koschorke dem Buch mit literaturwissenschaftlichem Instrumentarium. Welche Erzauml;hlstrategien hat Hitler benutzt; welche Lesepraxis hat er angeregt? Und was hat es damit auf sich; dass das Buch trotz enormer Verbreitung; kaum gelesen wurde? Der literaturwissenschaftliche Blick enthuuml;llt; dass es Hitler entgegen allem Anschein nicht in erster Linie um die fanatische Verbreitung einer Wahrheit ging; sondern darum; Anhauml;nger wie Gegner zu einer Reaktion zu zwingen.

Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Loving it!By Rita Annan-BradyHaving grown up in England; I was very familiar with Dirk Bogarde and his many films. I have already read his two preceding autobiographies; "A Postillion Struck by Lightning" and "Snakes and Ladders." Not only a terrific actor; he is an amazing writer. His many connections in the theatrical world make for fascinating stories and his descriptive abilities really take you there.I love this book and am looking forward to the next in the series.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A charming series of essays; but hardly revealingBy Nelson AspenCharming raconeteur Bogarde compiled this verbose series of essays about his "orderly" life straddling Europe and the Unites States...country gentleman and film star. He recounts incidents with wit and candor; such as the decline and deaths of his elderly parents and the struggles in making marketing his film "The Night Porter." And yet; there is strangely (and disappointingly) very little of the man; himself; revealed in any of this. Other than the fact that he seems alternately laconic and easily annoyed; the reader is never given a sense of what Bogarde the man is really all about. This is certainly a book you CAN put down and pick up again later. I suspect a closer look at the real Dirk Bogarde can be found in his excellent film; "Despair."
