The novel Stimmen der Nacht by Thomas Ziegler, with its two versions of 1984 and 1993, constitutes an important chapter in the discussion on German reunification, read through the key of uchronia. Indeed, in the first version, Stimmen der Nacht represents the victory of the Third Reich in the Second World War as a speculative hypothesis, an absolute nightmare averted once and for all in the real history; in the second version, however, after the Wende, the reawakening of German nationalism re-proposes that danger which seemed definitively relegated to the past. Our article retraces the themes of the novel and discusses its topicality.

Abstract
The novel Stimmen der Nacht by Thomas Ziegler, with its two versions of 1984 and 1993, constitutes an important chapter in the discussion on German reunification, read through the key of uchronia. Indeed, in the first version, Stimmen der Nacht represents the victory of the Third Reich in the Second World War as a speculative hypothesis, an absolute nightmare averted once and for all in the real history; in the second version, however, after the Wende, the reawakening of German nationalism re-proposes that danger which seemed definitively relegated to the past. Our article retraces the themes of the novel and discusses its topicality.File in questo prodotto:
