The Careful Siege by Heinrich Böll is a political and social novel that depicts life under constant surveillance and the threat of terrorism. The work explores the conflict between security, freedom, and human dignity.
These twenty-six stories illustrate Heinrich Boll's finely nuanced storytelling at its best. In stunning portraits of ordinary people, Boll creates a rich tapestry of the dark years in postwar Germany.
The novel humorously and warmly depicts the everyday life of a fourteen-year-old boy, Olfi (Wolfgang), the only man in a house full of women. A classic of Austrian children's literature, it is often read in elementary school.
A romanticized biography of British adventurer Sir Richard Francis Burton. Three great journeys (India, the Hajj to Mecca, Africa, and the search for the source of the Nile) told from the perspectives of his Indian, Arab, and African companions/guides.
In Boll's novels, one of the central themes is the attempt to preserve basic moral values in a time of terror, as well as in a period of material prosperity and corruption.
