This work is a reassessment of the long-term effects of the writing of Alfred Andersch, a prominent figure in the literary life of the post-war Federal Republic.

The Father of a Murderer takes place in a classroom of the Wittelsbach Gymnasium in 1920s Munich over the course of a single Greek lesson. Head-master Himmler (the father of Heinrich Himmler) enters the classroom, apparently to observe the students' progress. However, he soon takes over the lesson himself. Himmler mercilessly tests the boys, but his real purpose is to teach a political lesson to the German youths, and through them to settle accounts with their fathers. In the venerable tradition of German school novels (Musil's Young Torless and Heinrich Mann's Professor Garbage), this tale can be read as an account of routine academic sadism, but the essence of the story lies in the fine nuances of speech, thought, and behavior that illustrate, in the most sophisticated way, how the rise of Hitler was possible. Never before translated into English, this chilling novel was Andersch's final work. Published posthumously in German in 1980, it is considered by many to be his masterpiece.

Critical evaluations of works by Alfred Andersch virtually ignore conscience, a topic which Andersch addresses in each of his five novels. Conscience is based on values. In Western society there are two views on the origin of values. One view is based on humanistic ideals which hold that values are an inherent part of man, centered in his intellect. The other perspective anchors the source of values in a divine being, who exists independently of man and who uses various means to transmit these values to man. Andersch reveals the bases for his own conscience in Die Kirschen der Freiheit . It is obvious that his values are derived from the humanistic tradition. He eschews not only religion but also economic and political doctrine, which in Western society have taken on an orthodoxy as inflexible as religious dogma. In Sansibar oder der letzte Grund the contest between humanistically based conscience and religiously and politically inspired conscience takes place among several characters. By using a large cast of characters, Andersch demonstrates the consequences of a conscience based on each view. His message continues to be that a deterministic source of values is not a sound basis for an effective conscience. The story of Franziska in Die Rote demonstrates the same point, although the narrative is less direct. Franziska's conscience takes direction from outside, bourgeois sources. Unfortunately, her dependency on direction from outside sources is so strong that she is unable to attain the independent life she wants. In Efraim Andersch demonstrates the consequences of having no conscience at all. Efraim possesses no central core of values. He believes that coincidence and caprice rule men's lives and that it is useless for man to try to influence events. As a result, Efraim leads a rootless, uncommitted existence, which brings him no satisfaction. Through Efraim, Andersch reiterates the view that a humanistically based conscience is essential for a truly moral life. Winterspelt repeats this message through character types borrowed from previous Andersch novels. It is clear to Andersch that man devises religious and political doctrines to explain and codify human behavior. It is equally clear to him that such codifications are perceived all too often as ends in themselves, as immutable loci to which man subjugates personal will in order to uphold the notion that a higher authority exists to pass judgement on man's actions. Andersch sees great danger in elevating these humanly contrived doctrines to the level where they become deterministic and dictate human action by a sequence of causes independent of free will. To him it is important to maintain the correct perception of such mental constructs. He believes the human act precedes the justification for it; the rightness or wrongness of an act is judged later upon reflection by man. To Andersch there is no god in the Christian sense who stands in judgement over human actions. Nor is there an economic or political order which determines how man should behave. In Andersch's view, such a god and such doctrines are created by man because of his need to provide explanations for human acts. Andersch perceives man as the ultimate source of the values represented by these mental constructs and the conscience to which the values give rise. He suggests in his novels that it is far healthier for man to believe in himself than in a divine spirit or alluring doctrine. From this belief will presumably come a more honest and therefore better basis for conscience.

This work explores the experiences of Hans Werner Richter and Alfred Andersch, authors who served in the German army during World War II, were captured by U.S. forces, and enlisted into a secret program to promote American democracy to their fellow POWs while imprisoned in the United States. Upon repatriation, they brought their experiences with the POW publication Der Ruf back to Germany, where they founded a periodical of the same name. Having grown disillusioned with the American occupation, the authors’ stark criticisms of U.S. policies led to their dismissal from the second Der Ruf after only fifteen issues. This study attempts to understand their journey from acceptance and endorsement of American democratic ideals to disappointment and opposition to U.S. occupation policies. This transition played a crucial role in the foundation of the most influential West German literary circle: Group 47, organized a few months after the authors’ dismissal.

W. G. Sebald completed this extraordinary, important and controversial book before his untimely death in December 2001. It is a harrowing study of the devastation of German cities by Allied bombardment in World War II, and an examination of the silence in German literature and culture about this unprecedented trauma. On the Natural History of Destruction is an essential and deeply relevant study of war and society, suffering and amnesia. Like Sebald’s novels, it is studded with meticulous observation, moments of black humour, and throughout, the author’s unmatched intelligence and humanity.

Dieser Band enthält eine Reihe von Beiträgen über Leben, Werk und Rezeption des Schriftstellers Alfred Andersch aus der Feder von ausgewiesenen Andersch-Forschern, die kritische Fragen zu einem der wichtigsten Autoren der deutschen Nachkriegsliteratur stellen und dabei Briefe und Nachlaßdokumente einbeziehen. Die Andersch-Studien gewinnen an Reiz durch den 'zweiten Blick', den englische, belgische und italienische Wissenschaftler auf die im europäischen Rahmen konzipierten, späteren Andersch-Romane werfen. Die Beschäftigung mit dem Werk und seinen vielschichtigen politisch-ästhetischen Spannungen erweist einmal mehr, daß Alfred Anderschs Erzählprosa Bestand haben wird. Eine aktualisierte Bibliographie der Forschungsergebnisse in den letzten zehn Jahren rundet den Band ab.
