Ekstase und Elend is an intermediate/advanced textbook for German studies courses that presents the cultural history of German-speaking Europe from roughly 1900 to the present. Compiled by a team of scholars of German studies, applied linguistics, and history, it offers the historical, political, and social context necessary for engaging with recent cultural products from German-speaking Europe while cultivating the vital skills for doing so in German. A companion website featuring an annotated interactive timeline, media from a variety of sources, and suggested research projects can be accessed via a link on the Ekstase und Elend webpage on the publisher' s website.
"I like the way Ekstase und Elend translates its ' ecstasy vs. misery' dichotomy throughout the volume. It engagingly conveys sociopolitical and even economic history by laying out sharp contraststhrough texts, images, and exercises that cover a range of topics, peoples, and events. A second major strength of the volume is its sociohistorical inclusiveness. I' ve not yet run across a German--language civilization textbook that (with the exception of the Jewish peoples, in the context of Nazi Germany and WWII) includes to such an extent the narratives of historically underrepresented groups and individuals. Strongly recommended. " James Pfrehm, Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, Ithaca College
