Leeds, Jacket photo by Jill Krementz. keywords: Literature Translated Germany. FROM THE PUBLISHER-This book represents the selected essays of Heinrich Böll, his first collection of nonfiction prose in English. Spanning over two decades of distinguished social, political, literary. and cultural commentary, his essays provide a powerful statement about art and life in the modern world, reflecting the moral passion and deep wisdom of one of the world's greatest living writers. The twenty-nine essays, reviews, and miscellaneous pieces comprise the author's best and most accessible work, drawn largely from his three major volumes published originally in German. The range of emotion and subject is enormous: some are autobiographical and highly personal pieces, others incisive political and social commentaries, and still others astute literary critiques. Here is Böll the Nobel laureate and Böll the private man: his profound concern for oppressed peoples. his reflections on the tragedies of World War II and the postwar years, his satiric looks at modern urban life. The title essay. -*Missing Persons, ' is a subtle inward glance. a marvelous private exploration in which Boll searches for his mother and father as the children they once were: -I am not looking for her memory, the memory of hen. I am looking for the girl herself. ' Other essays evoke his great respect and affection for Russia, especially her writers-Tolstoi, Dostoevski, Solzhenitsyn. There are several pieces on the artistic process, on Bernard Malamud and Brendan Behan, as well as several of Böll's most important speeches-including his address to the Swedish Academy on his acceptance of the 1972 Nobel Prize for Literature. Throughout the book can be felt the great power of mind and moral sensibility of a major writer in this century. inventory #37442.
