During the November meeting of the Central European Book Club, we will once again delve into the story of people caught up in the machinery of so-called \u201cgrand history.\u201d In his latest published novel, \u201cAll for Nothing\u201d, Walter Kempowski depicts the collapse of the German world in East Prussia. He focuses on the character of Katharina von Globig, who, left behind without her husband \u2013 who is at the front \u2013 is bored, reads, receives a succession of unexpected guests, and reminisces about past trips to the Baltic Sea. The political situation shifts like a kaleidoscope: on the one hand, the \u201cred flood\u201d is approaching and Germans are fleeing the occupied territories; on the other, figures in striped uniforms are appearing along the road. The cool, irony-laced narrative reveals a world in which former victors become the vanquished and persecutors turn into fugitives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Paulina Ma\u0142ochleb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walter Kempowski, \u201cAll for Nothing\u201d, trans. Ma\u0142gorzata Grali\u0144ska, ArtRage Publishing, Warsaw 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project has received a grant of PLN 8,744,388.51 from the European Union\u2019s European Funds under the FEnIKS programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project aims to create a space open to the public that will foster social interaction, education and participation in cultural life. In addition to the new facilities on the ground floor, the project includes the modernisation of the technical infrastructure of the ICC Gallery and conference rooms, the purchase of modern multimedia equipment, and the implementation of solutions to improve accessibility for people with special needs. We will be organising discussions and lectures, workshops incorporating sensory elements, city quests, comic-book and innovation workshops, as well as meetings of the ICC Youth Council \u2013 these are just some of the innovative events offered by the ICC thanks to the FEnIKS project! New cultural events will be available online or in a hybrid format (in-person and online).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
