Reading and discussion with Klaus-Rüdiger Mai An event organized by the Mecklenburg Literary Society as part of the Uwe Johnson Days 2025. Moderation: Carsten Gansel

After Angela Merkel's exit from politics, her mistakes were turned into heroic deeds with a great deal of propaganda - in his critical biography of the former chancellor, Klaus-Rüdiger Mai sets facts against legends and addresses the question: Why did Angela Merkel act the way she did? His aim is to provide a cool and crystal-clear historical analysis. Above all, however, it is about Angela Merkel's great passion: her love of power and how to see through it and demystify it.

Klaus-Rüdiger Mai, born in Staßfurt in 1963, is a Germanist, historian and philosopher. He specializes in the artistic, philosophical and economic cultures of Europe past and present, as well as the history and present of East Germany and Eastern Europe. He is a successful novelist and non-fiction author, essayist and publicist and lives with his family near Berlin
