In good spirits: Maria Schrader, Devid Striesow and Knut Elstermann on the invisible helpers
Literature from around the globe contains all sorts of good spirits who appear when help is required, supporting protagonists in unconventional ways. For example, there’s the down-to-earth variety such as Christine Nöstlinger’s guardian spirit, Rosa Riedl, who was the first working class ghost (the others were always aristocratic). Or secretive, majestic ones like the patronus we all know from the Harry Potter stories. There are cheeky ghosts that haunt houses, ethereal phantoms of the sea, wandering mummies and poltergeists, political demons and industrious little helpers. Once you start looking, you find that books are full of invisible helpers and guardian spirits! This evening, Maria Schrader, Devid Striesow and Knut Elstermann will introduce you to the most impressive of these creatures, reading texts by Isabel Allende, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and many more.
