Izgubljena čast Katarine Blum i druga djela

Izgubljena čast Katarine Blum i druga djela

Heinrich Böll

A collection of six short stories that explore the moral, social, and political themes of postwar Germany, marked by Böll's sharp critical eye and empathy for the common man. An afterword by Viktor Žmegač contextualizes the works within Böll's oeuvre.

  • The Lost Honor of Katharina Blum (1974) follows Katharina, a young woman whose life falls apart after the media and police unjustly accuse her of being associated with a terrorist. Böll criticizes the sensationalism of the tabloids and the power of institutions, showing how social stigma destroys the individual.

  • Where Were You, Adam? (1951) depicts the futility of war through the fate of soldier Feinhals, whose hopes for a normal life collapse in the chaos of defeated Germany. The novel emphasizes dehumanization and loss of identity.

  • Not Only at Christmastime satirically depicts a family obsessed with Christmas rituals, mocking the conformity and bourgeois hypocrisy of West German society.

  • Something Will Happen explores the alienation of modern man through the story of a man awaiting an inevitable but uncertain fate, reflecting existential anxiety.

  • The Railway Station depicts the loneliness and aimlessness of the individual in the post-war world, using the station as a metaphor for transience and waiting.

Böll's style, realistic and imbued with irony, exposes the hypocrisy of society, criticizes capitalism and authority, and defends the dignity of the individual. In the afterword, Žmegač emphasizes Böll's moral consistency and literary relevance.
