¿Bajo qué circunstancias una generación desencantada y sin rumbo puede dejarse vencer por la tentación del totalitarismo? Con su primera novela, "La tela de araña"—que apareció en un periódico vienés en octubre y noviembre de 1923, pocos días antes del "putsch" de Múnich (el fallido golpe de Hitler y Ludendorff)—, Joseph Roth parece responder de una manera profética a esa pregunta. El protagonista, Theodor Lohse, es uno de los muchos oficiales alemanes desmovilizados a causa de la drástica limitación de los contingentes de tropas impuesta por los vencedores de la Primera Guerra Mundial. Al verse excluido de la carrera militar a la que estuvo destinado desde niño, sin ningún proyecto que pueda enderezar su vida en un Berlín muy distinto al que conoció, Lohse terminará como espía y agitador a sueldo para una organización clandestina de extrema derecha con sede en Múnich. "La tela de araña" vio muy pronto confirmada su significación histórica por los acontecimientos en Alemania; pero, más allá de su certero vaticinio, hoy vemos también en ella las primicias del extraordinario talento narrativo de un escritor ejemplar por su sentido crítico y su rigor moral. "Roth es para mí uno de los más brillantes trovadores de ese pequeño gran país que llamamos Austria, junto Zweig y a Musil." Pablo d'Ors, ABC "Late en estas páginas un escritor consciente del fulgor de la palabra y de la importancia a de su oficio. La novela de un clásico." Mauricio Bach, La Vanguardia

Aufstehen und Weitergehen Authentische Lebenszeugnisse, die Mut machen Niemand hat sein Leben in der Hand. Ein Unfall, Krankheit, Probleme am Arbeitsplatz oder Schicksalsschläge in der Familie können das Leben von einem Moment auf den anderen auf den Kopf stellen. Was tun? "Das Wichtigste ist, sich nicht unterkriegen zu lassen, sich wieder aufzurappeln und weiterzukämpfen", sagt Marianne Hengl, Obfrau von RollOn Austria. Seit zwei Jahren interviewen ORF-Radio-Tirol-Moderator Rainer Perle und sie "Stehaufmenschen" für die ORF-Radio-Sendung. Menschen, die besondere Herausforderungen gemeistert haben und wieder oder trotzdem ein glückliches Leben führen. Brigitte Gogl beschreibt in diesem Buch rund fünfzehn dieser Alltagshelden, wie sie sich aus den Abgründen des Lebens befreit und mühsam aufgerichtet haben. So erzählt etwa die Studentin Lisa Zöhrer, wie sie nach der Diagnose Lymphdrüsenkrebs wieder Lebensmut gefasst hat, oder Adi Spanninger, wie es ist, wenn man zehn Geschwister und auch seinen Sohn zu Grabe tragen musste. Meter Meraner spricht von seinen zwei Burnouts und davon, was ihn heute glücklich macht. Und die jungen Eheleute Melanie und Christoph Neisen kommen beide nicht selbständig vom Bett in ihren Rollstuhl und haben trotzdem den Traum eines selbstbestimmten Lebens realisieren können. Es ist oft ein steiniger Weg, um wieder aufzustehen und weiterzugehen. Die Porträts in diesem Buch wollen Kraft und Hoffnung schenken.

You do not have to traverse Africa by bicycle, solo extreme climbing routes or snowboard down glaciers in order to have an adventure. Between the extreme adventurer who craves for the adrenaline rush and the tourist who avoids any danger is the traveller. He or she also seeks adventure but without risking life and limb. The memories of seven decades published here show that the average person can also travel adventurously. They contain early travel experiences that made a lasting impression, episodes of youthful wanderlust, hitchhiking trips, long cycling tours, epic road trips through the Balkans and the United States and extensive journeys in South America. Hikes and climbs in the Andes, in Africa and in the Alps round off the picture. Travelling not only makes us experience the present, it also brings us back to the past. How can we walk the border between Austria and Italy in the Dolomites without remembering the First World War? How can we ignore history when we visit Sarajevo or Mostar? And how can we stand in front of La Moneda, the presidential palace in Santiago de Chile and not think about the original Nine Eleven that took place there in 1973? Exploring new regions and foreign countries without relying on tour operators is not entirely risk-free but the independent traveller is rewarded with intensive experiences and unforgettable memories.
