<p>Much maligned in pre-war Germany, the short story enjoyed a creative rebirth in 1945. Initially imported by the Allies, the form also matched perfectly the prevailing mood of irony, objectivity and mistrust of the didactic. <br><br>With the original German text running alongside English translations, this collection features stories from eight outstanding post-war authors including Heinrich B¿ll, Ilse Aichinger and Reinhard Lettau which students will find both educational and engrossing. B¿ll¿s opening story ''Pale Anna'' follows a soldier returning home, his situation comparable to that of the writer in the first months of peace: he knows no-one and has few words not linked to painful memories. This poignant narrative is followed by a variety of tales representing the diversity of the time and including satires, explorations of private obsessions and experiments in form and language.</p>
