Göttingen, Germany Andreas Dorrer (editor), Thomas Petraschka (editor), Goettingen : V & R Unipress , 2023 26206164 2023 anthology criticism 'The 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War in 2018 brought the memory of the major catastrophe of the 20th century back into the public eye. It is striking that the cultures of remembrance in the countries involved in the war differ significantly. While in Germany the First World War only regained attention in the run-up to the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of war, in Australia it was at the center of national narratives throughout the 20th century. The volume attempts to reconstruct and analyze the way Germany and Australia remember the First World War. He examines the different mentality-historical perspectives on the war and in particular the roles which the various cultural media played and still play in the formation of cultures of remembrance. It is striking that the cultures of remembrance regarding the war differ greatly from one nation to another. While in Germany the First World War only gained renewed attention in the run-up to the centenary of the outbreak of the war, in Australia it was at the center of national narratives throughout the 20th century. This volume attempts a reconstruction and analysis of the ways in which Germany and Australia remember the First World War.'

'She knew this.

That philematology is the science of kissing.

That Samuel Langhorne Clemens is better known as Mark Twain.

That, originally, gold comes from the stars.

'Madeleine Tully lives in Cambridge, England, the World - a city of spires, Isaac Newton and Auntie's Tea Shop.

'Elliot Baranski lives in Bonfire, the Farms, the Kingdom of Cello - where seasons roam, the Butterfly Child sleeps in a glass jar, and bells warn of attacks from dangerous Colours.

'They are worlds apart - until a crack opens up between them; a corner of white - the slim seam of a letter.

'Elliot begins to write to Madeleine, the Girl-in-the-World - a most dangerous thing to do for suspected cracks must be reported and closed.

'But Elliot's father has disappeared and Madeleine's mother is sick. Can a stranger from another world help to unravel the mysteries in your own?

'Can Madeleine and Elliot find the missing pieces of themselves before it is too late?

'A mesmerising story of two worlds; the cracks between them, the science that binds them and the colours that infuse them.' (Source: Publisher's blurb)
