Gern hart und komisch

Schloss Thalheim

"Gern hart und komisch"

with the Austrian salonists

Poems and oddities by Robert Gernhardt recited by the great actor Cornelius Obonya.

Gernhardt is today considered one of the most important contemporary German language poets. 
His work has developed from the nonsense verses and humorous forms of the 1960s and 1970s to a versatile lyric, which Gernhardt always expanded to include new tones.

In 1942, Stefan Heym published his first novel in New York under the title "Hostages" (German: "The Glasenapp case"), which immediately became a bestseller.

His real name was Helmut Flieg, but he, who saw himself as a “critical Marxist”, had taken the pseudonym Stefan Heym out of consideration for his family.
