Gregor Gysi, 'Ein Leben ist zu wenig': Autobiographisches Gespräch

演出简介

In the fall of 1989, Gregor Gysi's life took an amazing turn: The trained lawyer becomes a politician, but at this point he has no idea what lies ahead of him. Hardly any other German statesman was so reviled, hardly anybody fought his way so successfully through the thicket of hostilities — towards a recognised celebrity and one of the most important protagonists of left‐wing thinking. 'I never wanted to simply run away,' says Gysi, thus hitting the core of his being: to endure contradictions.
In his autobiography, Gregor Gysi tells of his childhood and youth, his role as a father of a family, and describes his path to becoming a lawyer. He gives insights into his relationship with dissidents and into the areas of tension at the head of the party and the parliamentary group in the Bundestag. His autobiography is a history book that makes the shocks and extremes, the drafts and disappointments of the 20th century tangible in a very personal way. A story that leads from Russia to Rhodesia, into everyday court life with murderers and thieves, to which Lenin's praise and the Nobel Prize winner Doris Lessing belong.
