This is an automatically translated description

The collection presents seven short stories that are among the most important texts of post-war German-language literature. Even in a cruel world consumed by violence, there is room for finding a haven. Almost all of the works deal with love between a man and a woman. The author touches upon the eternal themes of life and death in various, sometimes unexpected images and forms ("But I live! I am living! There is no doubt about it," says the protagonist of the story "The Thirtieth Year"). Ingeborg Bachmann rehabilitates the memory of his ambiguous era, bringing us closer to the inner world of a man lost and found.
