One day a year
One day in the year is a book by Christa Wolf .
Christa Wolf followed 1960 a call to the Moscow newspaper Izvestia , the September 27 to describe the 1960th The idea went back to a comparable appeal by Maxim Gorky from 1936 , which, under the title One Day for the World, achieved great popularity in the former Soviet Union . Christa Wolf didn't just leave it at September 27th, 1960. From then on she described every September 27th up to the year 2000 . In 2003 she published the diary stories under the title One Day in the Year (1960-2000) . The result is a collection of intimate autobiographical narratives that achieve their authenticity through their creation at the respective point in time, in contrast to conventional autobiographies , which are usually written decades later. In addition, one day a year is a testimony to German-German history.
Christa Wolf continued this special diary form even after the publication of the first volume until her death. In 2013 a follow-up volume was published from the estate with the title One Day in the Year in the New Century , which contains her notations for September 27, 2001 to 2011, edited by Gerhard Wolf .
