El Amor Por La Muerte En La Cultura Germana [Spanish]

By Toni Montesinos

Where does the German writers' fondness for dying come from? Is this morbid delight something peculiar to singularities or does it permeate the entire Germanic culture? Toni Montesinos answers these questions with an extensive list of authors, lives and works that, overwhelmingly, highlight how death presides over the German language and has marked the historical development of their lands. In this way, the author shows off his mastery of research to offer a history of German literature, from the 18th century to the 21st, in which he questions many of its protagonists, demystifying biographies and books, while taking the reader to that social magnet towards suicide or the mortuary eagerness in the form of wars or the extermination of human beings. As George Clemenceau wrote: "It is in the nature of men to love life. Germany does not practice this cult. In the German soul, in the art, philosophy and literature of this people there is no understanding of what life really is, what constitutes its magic and its greatness. And there is in it a morbid and satanic attraction to death. These people love death.
