Overview
The environment plays a central role in contemporary German political culture. Umwelt-Lesebuch provides essential information on the key themes of deforestation, nuclear power, endangered species, the changing landscape, and the darker side of technology and progress, giving an overview of contemporary German responses to the global ecological problems of our time. It contains thirty-four German literary texts on environmental issues written in the last twenty-five years. These texts, passages from novels such as Gunter Grass' Die Rattin, essayistic prose such as Christa Wolf's Storfal, and poems, protest songs, and speeches by West and East Germans have been chosen as much for their literary quality as for their role in furthering public debate on ecological issues and promoting environmental consciousness. They are introduced in English and accompanied by notes, exercises and a glossary.Book Details
