Description

At the time New Glory (Neue Herrlichkeit) was published in 1984, most dissident authors had fled the German Democratic Republic, then in its final years. Günter de Bruyn courageously remained to satirize the regime from behind the Iron Curtain. He is a popular writer and cultural commentator in unified Germany.

New Glory

tells the story of Viktor Kösling, a privileged young man from the GDR about to embark on a diplomatic career. He retreats to New Glory, a state-run resort in rural Brandenburg run by a corrupt director, to finish his dissertation on The Foreign Policy of the Prussian Government During the French Revolution with Particular Emphasis on the Effects of Artisan and Peasant Unrest in the Provinces. While there he falls, against his parents' wishes, for the lisping chambermaid, Thilde. The complex drama that follows, which pays tribute to Mann's The Magic Mountain and its ironic view of human nature, exposes the moral weakness of Viktor's character and the farcical distance between official East German ideals and the opportunistic functionaries who enabled the system.
