Paperback. Condizione: Good. This collection of the German writer's most important prose includes the complete text of the title play. Borchert's death at 26, in 1947, preceded the play's premier by one day. The play caused an immediate furor throughout the immediate post-WWII Germany. The rest of the volume comprises thirty-nine stories and assorted pieces - most of the author's output during the twoshort fever (malaria-like)-ridden years in which he wrote. 270p.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. 1st Edition. 1st American Edition (Random House - 1963) VERY GOOD, in a good dust jacket. No marks, Binding is tight and square. xiv, 172 pages ; 22 cm. Translation of Deutschland? Aber wo light es. . . . . . . . Gudrun Tempel, born in 1926, was a German writer who lived through the Nazi regime as a young person. Her book draws heavily on her own experiences growing up under Hitler?s rule and navigating the post-war division of Germany, including her time crossing between the Soviet-controlled East and the Western zones. The text serves as both a memoir and a broader critique of what Tempel saw as persistent flaws in the German national character - such as an overemphasis on efficiency, a lack of imagination, and a troubling collective amnesia about the atrocities of the Nazi era. She argues that these traits contributed to the rise of Nazism and allowed former Nazis to regain positions of power in post-war Germany with little resistance. The book is structured around Tempel?s personal recollections, which she uses to explore larger questions about German identity and responsibility. She recounts vivid memories from her "nightmare youth" under Hitler and her young adulthood dodging the perils of the Russian zone, lending a raw, emotional immediacy to her analysis. Tempel is particularly critical of the notion of German efficiency, which she sees as a double-edged sword leading to moral and political irresponsibility. She also expresses frustration at the absence of a deep, cleansing guilt among her contemporaries and older generations, suggesting that this avoidance enabled a troubling continuity of Nazi influence in the new Germany.…
