About this book

Wolfgang Borchert spoke for a German generation sent to the Second World War ‘without farewell’ and returned to material, moral and linguistic ruins. His short stories portray soldiers, widows, children and damaged cities in a prose stripped of ornament and false heroism. Lion’s Tooth gathers the urgent work of a writer who died at twenty-six, revealing why his voice became central to Germany’s post-war ‘rubble literature’. Originally written in German as “collected short stories”, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Samir Grees.
