Diese achtzehn Erzählungen aus dem Nachlaß sind straff komponierte Kurzgeschichten, Muster- und Meisterstücke ihrer Gattung. Die Prosa des "Gesamtwerks" in vielen übertreffend, legen sie Zeugnis davon ab, mit welchem Einfühlungsvermögen Borchert über alle bloß zeitbedingte Thematik hinaus seelische Katastrophen in beiläufigen Gesten anzudeuten vermochte. Hier zeigt sich das Unheimliche am Intimen und Vertrauten, und ein Minimum an äußerer Handlung genügt, um uns zu erschüttern und zu rühren.

Author
Wolfgang Borchert
Author · 8 books
German author and playwright whose work was affected by his experience of dictatorship and his service in the Wehrmacht during the Second World War. His work is among the best examples of the Trümmerliteratur movement in post-World War II Germany. His most famous work is the drama "Draußen vor der Tür (The Man Outside)", which he wrote in the first days after World War II. In his works he never makes compromises in questions of humanity and humanism. He is one of the most popular authors of the German postwar period, and today his work is often read in German schools.
