| Summary: | At the end of World War II, Germany found itself defeated, divided, and demoralized. The experience of the "Zero Hour" was profoundly articulated by Heinrich Boll, whose early works reclaimed Germany's great humanist tradition and whose later works dealt with questions of individual moral responsibility. Blending archival and newsreel footage, readings, and film excerpts, this vintage biography of the Nobel Laureate creates an evocative picture of one of Germany's most prolific and important postwar writers. |
