This volume contains sixty-three short stories and novellas written by Heinrich B©œll between 1947 and 1985. It brings together selections from B©œll's earlier collections Eighteen Stories (1966) and Children are Civilians Too (1970), stories published only in periodicals, four novellas from Absent Without Leave (1965) and Adam and the Train (1970), the novella A Soldier's Legacy (1986) and some previously unpublished work. The chronological organization represents the entire span of B©œll's career, from the stories of the early postwar period, which focus upon the experiences of the soldier and the returning veteran, toe the masterfully satirical tales of later years, with their sharp criticism of the new German sociopolitical order. Superbly translated by Leila Vennewitz, The Stories of Heinrich B©œll is among the many B©œll titles now available in the European Classics series published by Northwestern University Press. - Back cover.

*Might add: there's certainly no sympathy for the Reich coming from this ex-soldier. When the NSPD is mentioned, usually the characters seem incapable and helpless to understand or describe why they're in war. ( )
