About the author

Oskar Maria Graf (1894–1967) was a German author who wrote several socialist-anarchist novels and narratives about life in Bavaria, mostly autobiographical.

In the beginning Graf wrote under his real name Oskar Graf. After 1918, he edited his works for newspapers under the pseudonym, Oskar Graf-Berg; for the works he regarded as "worth being read", he selected the name Oskar Maria Graf.

Reviews

Living near Munich one can vividly imagine the village this story is set in. I enjoyed the detailed description of the characters, and not even so much that of the main character, but much more so of the people surrounding him and how life in this little community evolved between the two world wars. We are never to forget that this is how people work, that what has happened 90 years ago is not past, but is still all around us, and that all of this, and exactly all of this, are based in fundamental properties of us human beings, and how we work, and that all of this can and likely will happen again, no lessons learned.
