Crazy in Berlin is the first volume in the saga of Carlo Reinhart. As an army medic stationed in Allied-occupied Germany, Reinhart is a young man of large bulk (two hundred pounds, plus)—good-hearted, intelligent, and something of a fool. He pursues with anxiety and bewilderment his custodial role over a shattered and noxious civilization, accompanied by an assortment of influences: Nathan Schild, an American Communist acting as a U.S. intelligence office; the war waif Trudchen, an accommodating Heidi; Schatzi, a charter-member Nazi, now a Russian courier and black market virtuoso. Crazy in Berlin is a lusty tale, full of irony and wit, of a stumbling American Odysseus. Praise for Crazy In Berlin “Thomas Berger is a name to remember. . . . A novelist with a great career before him.”—Harvey Swados, The New Leader “One of the best war novels, and one of our best novels no matter what kind.”—W.G. Rogers, Associated Press “An ambitious mixture of high moral earnestness and knock-about farce.”—Pearl Bell, Commentary

Did you know that woodlands and forests occupy 31% of Germany? Do you like to discover tons of new and unobvious facts about Germany; to feel the spirit of Oktoberfest and to picture the ancient castles arising from the Bavarian forest?

All content is unique and family-friendly, although some of the facts are crazy political misunderstandings or unexpected historical flashbacks, while the others are fun facts about the modern country, its celebrities, and some less-known amazing German people. At the same time, some of these fun facts are eye-opening statistics that will make you think more about your own values and priorities... In any case, all these facts are entertaining and interesting to know. The examples of the random facts from this book: Costa Rica wasn't present at the Treaty of Versailles, so they've been at war with Germany since World War I. Theoretically, they still are. In the 1930s, the German government was allowed by Hollywood to censor movies that were sensitive towards the Nazis and Germany. When observed from space, East and West Germany still look different. This is because different street lights are being used. Some very well-known words in the English language actually have a German origin. They are aspirin, doppelganger, rucksack, poltergeist, hamster, bagel, abseil, deli, and many more. If you want to order a beer in a German pub, you should indicate 'one' with your thumb exclusively. and so on... As one of the most powerful countries in the world, Germany wakes the interest in people to find out more about it. All the titles attributed to it such as 'the best economy in Europe' or 'the land of poets and thinkers' make it an exciting country full of life, culture, traditions, and customs you wouldn't encounter anywhere else.

A smart, funny, poignant, very modern autobiographical coming-of-age novel, written when the author was sixteen years old. Like Catcher in the Rye, Crazy appeals to the teenager in us all. Benni himself is partially paralyzed and a serial failure (he's been kicked out of four boarding schools in his short life and has just entered his fifth). So he's a little odd, but he's cool and he finds other strange boys to hang with. Together they set out to experience what they can: girls, booze, sex, philosophy, drugs, sex, books, music, sex–pretty much everything whatever. And Benni lets us in on "the crazy life" he figures is the only way to deal with the crazy world.

Examination Thesis from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Paderborn, 67 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: During the last two centuries the American perception of Germany has periodically shifted as both countries have been rivals, friends, opponents and most recently allies. This has also been mirrored in the periodically changing American picture of Germany and the Germans, which over the years generated an abundance of stereotypes. While on the one hand, positive images have emerged such as the 'naturally virtuous and scholarly German, ' there have been, on the other hand, numerous negative generalizations, for example, the 'hard drinking and violent Teuton.' These notions were often formed through hearsay, personal experiences and encounters with Germans at home and abroad, through literature and political-social relations between the United States and Germany. They are often persistently maintained, have resisted any revision and are frequently regarded as the standard of thought. The role of American literature in creating, sustaining and perpetuating images continues to be of particular importance and this needs to be examined if one wishes to understand how a wide range of long-lasting German stereotypes came into existence. The images of Germany and the Germans which are projected in the works of numerous American writers, including Louisa May Alcott, Mark Twain, Thomas Wolfe, Erica Jong and Walter Abish, have become core images found in travelogues, novels, poetry and short fiction. This thesis surveys the images of Germany and the Germans in American literature from the late 19th to the end of the 20th century, and proceeds to focus on two selected works: Walter Abish's How German is It (1980) and Erica Jong's Fear of Flying (1973).

Abish’s novel is a natural choice for an endeavor of this nature as it is both an extensive and intensive exploration of images attributed to German identity. Jong’s novel, on the other hand, is an exploration of individual identity in a German setting and has been selected because of its enormous role in the relatively new field of women’s studies.
