About event
A state - like all states - is founded for eternity and disappears almost without a trace after forty years. Have the people who once lived there fallen into oblivion and their dreams just a brief breeze in the epochal winds of time?
In his brilliant social novel, Christoph Hein brings together women and men who were given a wide variety of roles in the founding of the GDR, accompanies them through the dramatic developments of a society in the making that claims to represent the better Germany and yet rushes from one failure to the next. Convinced communists, formerly enthusiastic Nazis, functionaries caught up in intrigues, intellectuals who are rescuing their bourgeoisie into real socialism, shoe salesmen, waiters, factory workers, janitors and even a high-ranking Stasi man recognize in one way or another that they belong to an involuntary crew on board a community that they increasingly perceive as a ship of fools and whose course is directed towards ever more threatening historical cliffs.
