Whether he is speaking in St. Paul's Church in Frankfurt on the occasion of receiving the Peace Prize of the German Publishers' Association - Germany's most prestigious literary prize - or delivering a eulogy at his father's graveside, Kermani finds words that surprise his listeners, enlighten them, provoke them, disturb them or move them to tears. As a German of Iranian descent whose parents settled in Germany, Kermani is particularly sensitive to the issues raised by migration and the perceived tensions between Islam and the West. His speeches are a powerful demonstration of how much we stand to gain by adhering to the values of openness, tolerance and mutual respect for the beliefs and practices of those from other cultures who live among us. This volume of Kermani's speeches raises one of the oldest genres of literature - public oratory - to a new level, demonstrating that the prepared speech with its carefully chosen words retains a special power in our fast-moving world of tweets and clickbaits, challenging us to see the world differently and to break away from familiar patterns of thought. -- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a First published 2019. 546 $a Translated from the German. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 00 $a Machine generated contents note: $t On the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the State of Lower Saxony. $t On the Death of the Unborn Sofia -- $t On the 65th Anniversary of the Promulgation of the German Constitution -- $t On Receiving the Joseph Breitbach Prize -- $t At the Public Commemoration of the Victims of the Paris Attacks -- $t On Receiving the Peace Prize of the German Publishers' Association -- $t Eulogy for Rupert Neudeck -- $t Eulogy for Jaki Liebezeit -- $t On the 20th Anniversary of the Founding of the Department of Jewish History and Culture -- $t On Receiving the State Prize of North Rhine-Westphalia -- $t Eulogy for Djavad Kermani -- $t Eulogy for Karl Schlamminger -- $t On the 70th Birthday of FC Cologne -- $t In Memory of Egon Ammann -- $t Dinner Speech at the Investment Conference of Flossbach von Storch AG -- $t Keynote Address to the Congress of the International Association for Analytical Psychology -- $t Statement before the Opening Reading of the Harbour Front Literature Festival -- $t On Receiving the Holderlin Prize of the City of Bad Homburg vor der Hohe -- $t On a Concert by the WDR Symphony Orchestra in the Broadcast Series `Music in Dialogue' -- $t On the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the State of Lower Saxony. 600 10 $a Kermani, Navid, $d 1967- $x Political and social views. 600 17 $a Kermani, Navid, $d 1967- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00397841 650 0 $a Speeches, addresses, etc., German $v Translations into English. 650 7 $a Political and social views. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353986 650 7 $a Speeches, addresses, etc., German. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01129361 655 7 $a Translations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423791 776 08 $i Online version: Kermani, Navid, 1967- $t Tomorrow is here. $d Cambridge : Polity Press, 2022 $z 9781509550586 $w (OCoLC)1352021181 700 1 $a Crawford, Tony, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023630.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8055D86CDDAE11EDB031D5162DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
