Story1
Tadeusz Borowski’s concentration camp stories were based on his own experiences surviving Auschwitz and Dachau. In spare, brutal prose he describes a world where where the will to survive overrides compassion, and prisoners eat, work, and sleep a few yards from where others are murdered; where the difference between human beings is reduced to a second bowl of soup, an extra blanket, or the luxury of a pair of shoes with thick soles; and where the line between normality and abnormality vanishes.

"Die Schule ist die einzige moderne Kulturfrage, die ich ernst nehme und die mich gelegentlich aufregt. An mir hat die Schule viel kaputt gemacht, und ich kenne wenig bedeutende Persönlichkeiten, denen es nicht ähnlich ging." So Hermann Hesse über sein viel diskutiertes Werk an einen seiner Brüder, der sich später - nicht zuletzt aufgrund in der Schulzeit gelegter Probleme - umbrachte.

Shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Sir Edward Leithen is told that he has but one year left to live. He relinquishes his law practice and resigns from public office in order to make peace with himself and to reconcile himself with his maker.

Story0
Rönne, ein junger Arzt, fährt mit dem Zug durch Deutschland, um in einer entfernt gelegenen medizinischen Anstalt den Chefarzt zu vertreten. Doch statt sich den Patienten zu widmen, verliert Rönne nach und nach den Bezug zur Realität und versinkt in sich selbst. Er muss die Klinik wieder verlassen und begibt sich, dem Wahnsinn verfallen, auf Reisen. Die in den vier Rönne-Novellen beschriebene Kälte und Verlorenheit ist von Benns persönlichen Erfahrungen als Arzt und Sanitätsoffizier geprägt: "Ich lebte am Rande, wo das Dasein fällt und das Ich beginnt." Rolf Becker gibt den vier kurzen Prosatexten eine Stimme.

Story0
Y un día que fui a Tarleton a cortarme el pelo me encontré a un tal Bill Knowles, un antiguo compañero de Harvard, muy simpático. Había formado parte de la división de la Guardia Nacional que nos había precedido en el campamento; a última hora se había pasado a la aviación y se había quedado en Tarleton. "Me alegro de verte, Andy", dijo con excesiva seriedad. "Te pasaré toda la información que tengo antes de irme a Texas. Sabes, en realidad aquí sólo hay tres chicas..." "Me interesaba el asunto: era algo místico que sólo hubiese tres chicas. ... y ahora mismo vas a conocer a una."
