Liebe blaue graue Nacht. Erzählungen

by Wolfgang Borchert

Ces textes brefs et fulgurants ont tous pour toile de fond les horreurs de la guerre, que le poète fit à vingt et un ans sur le front russe. Il en rapporta une expérience épouvantée, qu'il peignit dans les tons de l'expressionnisme avec des mots nus d'une brutale beauté.

About the author

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.
