        Irisches Tagebuch

        by Böll, Heinrich

        When Heinrich Böll traveled with his wife to Ireland in the early 1950s, he was immediately enchanted by the landscape and the people. Reveling in the respite from a Europe still recovering from the war, he was captivated by what he saw as a friendly and classless society that took life at a more leisurely pace. He was delighted, for example, by the Irish saying that explained why the trains were always late: “When God made time he made plenty of it.” Böll would return again and again. In this unique entry in his oeuvre, Böll documents his eccentric travels around the Emerald Isle, detailing its charm in a way that gives his own habit of studying character and paradox, not to mention national identity, a beguiling twist. The result, here presented with an epilogue written years later with Böll’s observation of changes since his first visit, is a reflection on the essence of a place and its people that is, indeed, evergreen.

        Salzburger Bachmann Edition

        »Was machen wir aus unserem Leben?«. Der Briefwechsel

        by Ingeborg Bachmann, Heinrich Böll, Renate Langer, Renate Langer, Hans Höller, Renate Langer

        Der bislang unbekannte Briefwechsel zweier der bedeutendsten Autoren des 20. Jahrhunderts Eine junge Lyrikerin, die 1952 erstmals bei der Gruppe 47 auftritt, und ein um neun Jahre älterer, als Autor bereits etablierter Kollege. In ihren Briefen sprechen Ingeborg Bachmann und Heinrich Böll über Politik und Literatur, Religion und Reisen und immer wieder auch über die materiellen Voraussetzungen des Schreibens: Geld und eine angemessene Behausung. Über viele Jahre hinweg lesen sie die Werke des anderen – »Bitte schick mir, was Du schreibst, gegen die Trennung und das Abgetrenntsein.« Trotz unterschiedlicher Lebensentwürfe gibt es viele Gemeinsamkeiten. Beide wünschen sich Konstanz und Geborgenheit, beide reizt zugleich eine Existenz außerhalb des eigenen Sprachraums und der Herkunftskultur: Böll zieht es nach Irland, Bachmann nach Italien. Und beide haben mit inneren Dämonen zu kämpfen. Erschöpfung, Sucht und Depression begleiten den Erfolg. Ingeborg Bachmanns und Heinrich Bölls zwei Jahrzehnte andauernder Briefwechsel bietet faszinierende Perspektiven auf das literarische Leben der ersten Nachkriegsjahrzehnte und profunde Einblicke in die künstlerische und persönliche Entwicklung zweier bedeutender Stimmen der Zeit. Vor allem aber wird deutlich: Bachmann und Böll standen einander näher, als bisher bekannt war. Das Buch ist Teil der Salzburger Bachmann Edition und wird mit zwei Schutzumschlägen ausgeliefert.

        Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum

        Mit Materialien und einem Nachwort des Autors

        by Böll, Heinrich

        A young woman inadvertently becomes the centre of the sensationalism and political agitation of a boulevard newspaper. After falling in love with a young man who is wanted by police for “radicalism”, Katharina Blum’s life is made unbearable by journalists who scrutinize and make public every aspect of her private life. The consequence of this violation of her privacy by the media is the beginning of the story: Katharina Blum has shot a journalist and another photographer has been shot by an unknown woman. This is the shocking incident that cries for interpretation and clarification. The pattern of the street ballad of a woman’s lost honour is used here for its emancipatory and aggressive potential: The woman who has been humiliated in the public opinion fights back – if necessary with violence. Böll added in a preface: “Characters and storyline are a work of fiction. Should similarities to the journalistic methods of a certain boulevard newspaper be detected, these similarities are neither intended nor accidental but inevitable.” "Böll sustains a masterly and insidious tension to the end. He is detached, angry and totally in control" (The Times) "Such is the force of Böll’s conviction, the clarity of his vision and the icy economy of his unemotive prose that within this short space he has distilled a spirit that burns into the palate the unmistakeable and lasting tang of truth" (Sunday Times) "A marvel of compression and irony" (Sunday Telegraph)

        Der Engel schwieg

        by Böll, Heinrich

        The Silent Angel, written between 1949-1950, is Böll’s first novel set in post-war Germany. It begins on May 8, 1945, the day of Germany’s capitulation, and leads us into the debris of a German city. Maybe this was the reason why the manuscript was not published back then after all. People did not want to be reminded of the misery that they had just overcome. So the manuscript was left in a drawer and became a Böll’s quarry and humus for his later works. Today the novel reads like the energetic centre of remembrance which coined Böll’s work. Böll shows the existence of man after the end of everything. A soldier, deserted and with falsified documents, returns to his bombed out home city – looking for bread, a home and for people. He finds humanity, but also the cruelness of self-interest, coated in Christian hypocrisy. Untouched by this the love story remains “clear and brittle, appropriate for the returning generation which knows that there is no such thing as home on this earth.” (Böll) This early novel remained unpublished for more than fourty years, because its subject matter, the immediate aftermath of the war, conjured up too much of what people wished to forget. The novel was only published for the first time in 1992 and became a great success. All major motives of Böll’s work were already present here – a discovery and at the same time an ideal introduction to Böll’s work.
