After the war was over, Andersch continued his career with some influential radio work (in which he modeled his own broadcasting on the BBC's Third Programme), and above all with his numerous novels, of which the short Sansibar, (1957) - which is being currently reissued as Flight to Afar - was to achieve the greatest acclaim. Translated into every major language, it became an international bestseller in its day.
