Die Glasglocke

The American Sylvia Plath (1932-1963), "the best, most exciting, and significantly most ruthless poet of her generation" (John Updike), wrote a century-defining novel with her only book, published in the year of her suicide, which still retains its haunting fascination today. "It was a crazy, sultry summer, the summer when the Rosenbergs went to the electric chair, and I didn't know what I really wanted in New York." College student Esther Greenwood, overwhelmed by awards and scholarships, spends a month as an intern at a fashion magazine in New York during the "black summer" of 1953. She unflinchingly documents her existential crisis.
