Chronicling crimes in Prague – Sabine Rückert and Dietmar Bär on Egon Erwin Kisch
What do crimes tell us about people and societies? What were the circumstances that made them possible? What is the everyday background to extraordinary events?
In his brilliantly worded journalistic reports from Prague, Egon Erwin Kisch, the famous (notorious?) reporter at the “Bohemia” newspaper, chronicled cold-blooded crimes and the darkest depths of humanity. Sometimes he appeared as an investigator, other times he let his heroines and villains speak for themselves. And on occasion, he got directly involved in the events. He combined journalistic precision with literary style in his own unique way, long before Truman Capote discovered the principle. In Prager Verbrechen [“Prague Crimes”], court and crime reporter Sabine Rückert (“ZEIT Verbrechen”) examines why we find this fascinating to this day – and what she would do differently from the roving reporter. Dietmar Bär reads the legendary stories from old Prague.
