The award-winning historian reads from his current book about the present and upheavals since 1989 – a plea for democracy and freedom.

Description

Historian Karl Schlögel, recipient of the 2025 Peace Prize of the German Book Trade, presents his latest book "On the Sandbank of Time." In conversation with writer Michal Hvorecky, he offers insights into his analyses of the political and societal upheavals since 1989. With a particular focus on developments following Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014, Schlögel sheds light on shifts in societal power structures. His commitment to a free, democratic world, honored with the Peace Prize in 2025, shapes the texts of the book, which provide an indispensable perspective for understanding the present.
