The World is Cruel, Harsh and Puzzling

The young wife is beaten by her drunken husband, abused, humiliated. Later, a medical report on the injury list is 14 pages. For years, Alexandra endures the torture - primarily because of their small daughter, and the illusion of family. But then the sadist murdered - in his bed with a statue. The defense lawyer Ferdinand von Schirach, tells in his new book Debt, How he defended the accused of murder wife. The process terminates unexpectedly.

15 cases from the practice Schirach has collected in the just published book from the publisher Piper and turned into literature. They show a world that is cruel, harsh and puzzling. Skillfully, exciting and sometimes breathtakingly told the lawyer. He even forced himself not to the fore. As early as 2009, von Schirach and his first short story collection Crime landed a coup. Born in 1964 in Munich, author and advocate for getting "the most acclaimed debut of German literature in 2009" This year, the Kleist Prize. According to the publisher of the band was already more than 150,000 copies sold.

Less than a year later, are now back in front stories. He had the stories in my head and they only have to write, says von Schirach. At the same time he admits that there were moments when it went no further with the letter. "Then I go for a walk or something to eat, eventually it will work again."

Ferdinand von Schirach is the grandson of the Nazi Hitler Youth leader Baldur von Schirach. For this reason, the criminal lawyer moves quickly into the public eye. In interviews, he still patiently repeated that the family had for him no load. He began his career as a prosecutor and defense attorney Schirach in Berlin. There he rose to the "celebrity lawyer" and advocated among other things, the SED functionary Schabowski and the family of actor Klaus Kinski.

This letter is in the family: His grandfather's memoirs published in the Hitler era, Uncle Richard von Schirach was out over time in the shadow of his father and cousin Ariadne von Schirach, then analyzed the topic of sex (The dance around the desire).

In Ferdinand von Schirach's new book, there are no reports of empty courtrooms. Rather, be told in about 200 pages an unusual life, like Nina and Thomas, who were arrested just 19 years after the death of an old man and shoot himself before the trial. This story is simply DNA. How quickly run out of control shows a situation, von Schirach in The Illuminate. Boarders torturing a roommate, but death comes to a different person. Even if the question is never asked directly, they can be felt: Why is one a criminal and not others?

And it is about guilt, but often it is not obvious. Why, for example, proposes a young Arab man with a hammer the teeth from the mouth? Schirach is also in this case between tones. Cleverly, he tried the gray behind the black or white, grasp, not to Defining. His protagonists are fellow human beings, their fate is close to the reader, they do not leave him when he shut the book. But it's also about the limits of justice and innocence to like the story about Holbrecht who did time for child sexual abuse in prison.

Whether personal experience is in those cases? "The stories do so, the other, the proportion of the lawyer is low," says von Schirach. The writing attorney who composed his stories literally. With short sentences, he builds up tension, describing precise details of crime scenes, such as red brick window surrounds or rust on a stair railing. Due to this objectivity without any voyeurism creates a unique tension. With the slogan: "Things are as they are," Schirach has overridden his book. It should be the last volume of short stories, tells Schirach. "I sit at another book already, but I would not even talk about it."

The prominent lawyer in the court usually has a friendly distance was, in a Interview with the Time glimpses into his life. He had already gefremdelt as a child, he was saying. The job of a defense lawyer was a kind of salvation for him. Schirach said he was later apprehended by his clients that he was not with the feeling of emptiness to be alone. It had reassured him.
