Synopsis All for Nothing by : Walter Kempowski

A wealthy family tries--and fails--to seal themselves off from the chaos of post-World War II life surrounding them in this stunning novel by one of Germany's most important post-war writers. In East Prussia, January 1945, the German forces are in retreat and the Red Army is approaching. The von Globig family's manor house, the Georgenhof, is falling into disrepair. Auntie runs the estate as best she can since Eberhard von Globig, a special officer in the German army, went to war, leaving behind his beautiful but vague wife, Katharina, and her bookish twelve-year-old son, Peter. As the road fills with Germans fleeing the occupied territories, the Georgenhof begins to receive strange visitors--a Nazi violinist, a dissident painter, a Baltic baron, even a Jewish refugee. Yet in the main, life continues as banal, wondrous, and complicit as ever for the family, until their caution, their hedged bets, and their denial are answered by the wholly expected events they haven't allowed themselves to imagine. All for Nothing, published in 2006, was the last novel by Walter Kempowski, one of postwar Germany's most acclaimed and popular writers.

Synopsis Bulemanns Haus by : Theodor Storm

Nach dem Tod seines Vaters kehrt Herr Bulemann nach in �bersee verbrachten Jahren in seine Heimatstadt zur�ck und zieht in das Haus seines Vaters. Seine Frau und seine Kinder hat er auf der �berfahrt an Sklavenh�ndler verkauft - so erz�hlt man sich. Stattdessen hat Herr Bulemann zwei gro�e Katzen mitgebracht. In seinem Vaterhaus findet er allerlei Pfandg�ter - sein Vater war Pfandleiher - vor, die er widerrechtlich verkauft. In den folgenden Jahren suchen ihn Pfandgl�ubiger auf, welche ihre Pfandg�ter ausl�sen wollen und die er bestechen muss, damit sie sein widerrechtliches Handeln nicht ausplaudern. Er wird immer unleidlicher und menschenscheuer, bis sein einziger Kontakt zur Au�enwelt seine Haush�lterin ist, die ihn verachtet. Schlie�lich weist er schroff seine Halbschwester zur�ck, als sie ihn wegen ihres kr�nklichen Sohnes um Hilfe anfleht und verschuldet letztlich den Tod seines Neffen. Seine Schwester verflucht ihn, woraufhin sich die beiden Katzen nach und nach schauerlich verwandeln und ihn f�r immer in seinem Haus festhalten, aus dem die Haush�lterin inzwischen geflohen ist.
