Summary

Berhold Auerbach's 'Christian Gellert's Last Christmas,' taken from the larger collection 'German Tales,' is a poignant narrative that explores themes of mortality, legacy, and the human spirit through the intimate depiction of the great German poet Gellert's final holiday season. Auerbach employs a literary style that interweaves realism with a profound emotional depth, embodying the literary context of 19th-century German literature with its emphasis on inner feeling and moral earnestness. His narrative technique, rich with descriptive detail, draws the reader into a world where the personal and historical coalesce, and every character's journey reflects a broader cultural tapestry.

As a luminary of the German literary tradition, Berthold Auerbach himself was deeply influenced by the truths encapsulated in folklore and the power of storytelling. His commitment to capturing the human condition is evident in this meticulously curated tale. Auerbach's own life, marked by political unrest and a pursuit of ethical literature, adds an additional layer to understanding the inception of this work. His narrative is not just a reflection of Gellert's ethos but also a testament to Auerbach's era, where literature served as a conduit for philosophical exploration and societal reflection.

'Recommended for both scholars and general readers, 'Christian Gellert's Last Christmas' serves as a finely woven tapestry of human experience, sure to resonate with anyone interested in the interplay between personal narrative and cultural history. Auerbach's work is a notable addition to the canon of world literature, meriting recognition and reflection for its depiction of universal themes through the lens of German literary tradition. It beckons the reader to engage with a past era with the promise of discovering timeless insights about life, compassion, and the indelible human spirit.

    The nation’s most celebrated First Amendment lawyer“explores the American right to free speech in this thoughtful and concise volume” (Publishers Weekly). The right of Americans to voice their beliefs without government approval or oversight is protected under what may well be the most honored and least understood addendum to the US Constitution—the First Amendment. Floyd Abrams, a noted lawyer and award-winning legal scholar specializing in First Amendment issues, examines the degree to which American law protects free speech more often, more intensely, and more controversially than is the case anywhere else in the world, including democratic nations such as Canada and England.   In this lively, powerful, and provocative work, the author addresses legal issues from the adoption of the Bill of Rights through recent cases such as Citizens United. He also examines the repeated conflicts between claims of free speech and those of national security occasioned by the publication of classified material such as was contained in the Pentagon Papers and was made public by WikiLeaks and Edward Snowden.   “Abrams’s engaging and plain-spoken reflections will be of interest to those already steeped in constitutional law as well as young readers curious about the nation’s founding ideals . . . For Abrams, one inescapable truth applies across the history of First Amendment disputes. To allow the government to determine whose speech can be regulated . . . is, as [his] fascinating history shows, literally to play with fire.”—The Wall Street Journal   “He dives into historic and contemporary controversies that test our adherence to these principles, noting, ‘Speech is sometimes ugly, outrageous, even dangerous.’”—The Washington Post
