About this listen
"Eine Wucht." Süddeutsche Zeitung.
Lange Zeit galt es als ausgemacht, dass das deutsche Kaiserreich wegen seiner Großmachtträume die Hauptverantwortung am Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs trug. In seinem bahnbrechenden neuen Werk kommt der renommierte Historiker und Bestsellerautor Christopher Clark (Preußen) zu einer anderen Einschätzung. Clark beschreibt minutiös die Interessen und Motivationen der wichtigsten politischen Akteure in den europäischen Metropolen und zeichnet das Bild einer komplexen Welt, in der gegenseitiges Misstrauen, Fehleinschätzungen, Überheblichkeit, Expansionspläne und nationalistische Bestrebungen zu einer Situation führten, in der ein Funke genügte, den Krieg auszulösen, dessen verheerende Folgen kaum jemand abzuschätzen vermochte. Schon jetzt zeigt sich, dass Die Schlafwandler eine der wichtigsten Neuerscheinungen zum 100. Jahrestag des Ausbruchs des Ersten Weltkriegs sein wird.

Story
"Kein Volk der Welt hat erlebt, was dem deutschen "1923"-Erlebnis entspricht", schrieb Sebastian Haffner im englischen Exil, und Stefan Zweig befand, dass die Geschichte noch "nie eine ähnliche Tollhauszeit in solchen riesigen Proportionen produziert" habe. Volker Ullrich erzählt auf breiter Quellenbasis die Geschichte dieses Jahrs am Abgrund, das in manchem auf fatale Weise an die heutige Gegenwart erinnert.

Story
Harald Jähners große Mentalitätsgeschichte der Nachkriegszeit zeigt die Deutschen in ihrer ganzen Vielfalt: etwa den "Umerzieher" Alfred Döblin, der das Vertrauen seiner Landsleute zu gewinnen suchte, oder Beate Uhse, die mit ihrem "Versandgeschäft für Ehehygiene" alle Vorstellungen von Sittlichkeit infrage stellte; aber auch die namenlosen Schwarzmarkthändler oder die stilsicheren Hausfrauen am Nierentisch der anbrechenden Fünfziger. Das gesellschaftliche Panorama eines Jahrzehnts, das entscheidend war für die Deutschen und in vielem ganz anders, als wir oft glauben.

Story
Gerade aus der Haft entlassen, möchte sich Franz Biberkopf eine neue Existenz aufbauen. Doch den Lockungen der Großstadt kann er nicht widerstehen und wird schon bald wieder in kriminelle Machenschaften verwickelt, die ihn fast an den Galgen bringen. Das bewegende Schicksal des Arbeiters Franz Biberkopf, der sich in einer Welt des Verbrechens verirrt, steht exemplarisch für den Kampf des kleinen Mannes in einer unsicher gewordenen Welt. Döblin schuf damit einen Jahrhundertroman, der häufig mit "Ulysses" verglichen wird. Hannes Messemer liest diese atemlose, polyphone Symphonie der Großstadt bravourös ein.

Editorial reviews
Nur wenigen Historikern gelingt es, mit Sachbüchern zu Bestsellerautoren zu werden. Christopher Clark hingegen schafft dies mit seinem Monumentalwerk „Die Schlafwandler. Wie Europa in den Ersten Weltkrieg zog“. Sprecher Frank Arnold gelingt es darüber hinaus noch, ein packendes Hörbuch zu inszenieren, das dich von Anfang an in seinen Bann zieht.
Die Geschichte beleuchtet die Schuldfrage, wie es zum Ersten Weltkrieg kommen konnte, völlig neu. Kenntnisreich und informativ werden die Interessen und Motive der Großmächte betrachtet und die politischen Akteure mit all ihrem Misstrauen, ihrer Überheblichkeit und ihren nationalistischen Bestrebungen dargestellt.
Frank Arnold glückt es, das umfangreiche Historienwerk spannend zu lesen und das Thema somit anschaulich zu vermitteln. Bei dir kommt garantiert keine Langeweile auf und das Gehörte bleibt im Kopf. So macht Geschichtsunterricht Spaß!

Story
In 1992, the deadliest year in Chicago’s history, seven-year-old Dantrell Davis was shot and killed in front of his elementary school inside the public housing complex Cabrini-Green. What happened to Dantrell led to a truce among Chicago’s gangs, but it also ignited a national panic about poverty and violence in America’s cities. Dantrell’s name would soon be used to demolish all of Chicago’s high-rise public housing, displacing tens of thousands of low-income families.

Christmas is the single biggest annual event on the planet, a time for merry-making, over-indulgence, peace, goodwill, and the occasional family row. It’s as comfortable and familiar as a pair of old shoes and yet still glittery and exciting. But what do you really know about it? It’s stuffed full of traditions and rituals that most of us have been observing all our lives without having the slightest idea of where they come from.

Finally a book that makes sense
Congrats are in order. Chris Clark has contributed a giant historical effort that provides the reasons for WWI, something that has puzzled me for the last five decades. His painstaking quest for historical fact and accurate analysis of myriad documents and their interconnect meaning brings to light just how irresponsible, cowardly and arrogant the government actors and monarchs of the day were as they played their geopolotocal games on the chessboard of war, while pretending to represent a public interest. Mr. Clark's presentation of the data allows the listener to draw accurate conclusions,
The length and depth of the book is impressive. It requires stamina on the part of the listener but, as is usual, a well-expended effort has its appropriate rewards.
