- Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-73) is recognized as one of the most important novelists, poets and playwrights of post-1945 German literature. As befitting such a versatile writer, her 'War Diary' is not a day-by-day journal but a series of sketches, depicting the last months of the Second World War and the first year of the subsequent British occupation of Austria. These articulate and powerful entrie reveal the 18-year-old's hatred of both war and Nazism as she avoids the fanatics' determination to 'defend Klagenfurt to the last man and the last woman'. The British occupation leads to her incredible meeting with a British officer, Jack Hamesh, a Jew who fled Vienna for England in 1938. Their relationship is captured here in the emotional and moving letters Hamesh writes to Bachmann when he travels to Israel in 1946. In his correspondence, he describes how, in his new home of Israel, he still suffers from the rootlessness affecting so many of those who lost parents, family, friends and homes in the war.
- Ingeborg Bachmann is the author of Darkness Spoken, Malina and Simultan, among others.
