About event
Moderation Hartmut Mangold
Swing to the right in the East, despondency in the West. 35 years after unity, German democracy is at a crossroads: Do we face the challenges of freedom or do we give up our freedom? Marko Martin looks beyond the domestic German debates to the great European voices such as Manès Sperber and André Glucksmann. A rousing appeal against the calls for autocratic incapacitation and for a categorical rejection of discouragement.
The book after the big debate about Marko Martin's speech to Federal President Frank Walter Steinmeier - a must-read for times of crisis. Smart, worldly and not without cheerfulness.
Marko Martin lives as a writer in Berlin when he is not traveling. In addition to a volume of essays on Israeli literature and a Tel Aviv homage, his books Sleeping Dogs and The Night of San Salvador were published in the Other Library, as well as the essay volume Dissident Thinking in 2019.

Also published: The Displaced Time (2020), The Last Days of Hong Kong (2021) and It's Happening Now (2024).
