The Moravian Night was written by what man whose nomination in the 2006 Heinrich Heine Prize caused a scandal?
Peter Handke Peter Handke (] ; born 6 December 1942) is an Austrian novelist, playwright and translator. His writings about the Yugoslav Wars and subsequent NATO bombing of Yugoslavia with criticism of the Western position and his speech at the funeral of Slobodan Milošević have caused controversy, and he has been widely described as an apologist for far-right Serbian nationalism. He has been awarded the Georg Büchner Prize, the Franz Kafka Prize and the International Ibsen Award; the latter award was extremely controversial and Handke was met by protesters in Oslo and widely described by critics in Norwegian media as a fascist with ties to war criminals. In 2006 his nomination for the Heinrich Heine Prize caused a scandal, and the prize was withdrawn due to his political views.
Heinrich Heim Heinrich Heim (15 June 1900, Munich – 26 June 1988, Munich) was a lawyer and NSDAP "Ministerialrat" who transcribed and co-published with Werner Jochmann transcripts of Adolf Hitler's informal talks, known colloquially as "Hitler's Table Talk". Heim's version of the table talk was published in 1980 under the title "Adolf Hitler Monologe im Führerhauptquartier 1941-1944". Heim's edition relied upon the original German notes, recorded by Heim from 5 July 1941 to mid March 1942, and August–September 1942. According to German historian Clemens Vollnhals, from a "source-critical point of view, the most reliable version of the "Table Talk" remains Werner Jochmann's edition of 1980."
