Fenster auf Kipp? – Der Held und seine Heizung. Mit Susanne Stephan und Gerd Köster

In the organizer's words:

No poetry without warmth: Fontane already knew that the best place to write was by a warm stove, and Novalis was the superintendent of lignite mines. Even the greatest authors in literary history, such as Rilke, Goethe, Shelley and Melville, repeatedly address the seemingly banal question of the appropriate fuels and the right way to heat them. The question of whether the classics used wood or coal for heating alone holds interesting ecological and social insights, also for the energy discussions of the present day. And climate change was also reflected in literature at an early stage. In her captivating, "fascinating" (FAZ) book Der Held und seine Heizung (The Hero and His Heater ), author Susanne Stephan measures emissions in the atmosphere of the literary canon and reveals astonishing perspectives. And none other than Gerd Köster will read the texts. Mod.: Christian Schärf
