Frisch gepresst: Alida Bremer und „Tesla oder Die Vollendung der Kreise“

In the organizer's words:

The inventor Nikola Tesla, born with Serbian roots in what is now Croatia, was already legendary during his lifetime. One of his admirers was the young Anton from Zadar, who emigrated to America with ten dollars in his pocket. There he meets the lonely Tesla and gradually becomes his friend. But then Anton receives a message from Europe: he is to return to take care of his parents. As a parting gift, Tesla entrusts him with the plans for a "peace weapon".

Alida Bremer, born in Split in 1959, studied in Belgrade, Rome and Münster, among other places. The author and translator is one of Southern Europe's most important cultural ambassadors in Germany. Her columns and poems appear in Der Spiegel and Lettre International, among others. "Tesla" is her third novel.
