We are a generation without farewell, says the German writer Wolfgang Borchert, summarizing the tragedy of his generation that was led into World War II without anyone saying goodbye to it. Perhaps Borchert is the voice most capable of expressing this generation, and that war that left massive material and spiritual devastation in Germany. It also left literary ruin.
Borchert left behind a collection of short stories that his fellow Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Heinrich Böll, describes as “complete masterpieces,” while Egyptian writer Ibrahim Aslan sees in his stories “a sublime expression of the ferocity of all wars without a single direct word.”
In this book, we present to the reader a selection of these stories, and what attracted us to them is the human approach to major topics, such as war and death, love and the feeling of loss, and the artistic expression of them.

Between heart and mind:
It is a novel that tells the experience of a failed love, which was ultimately a lesson for its owner. Ahmed lived his entire life under the robes of his conservative family, and spent many years dreaming of marrying his cousin Hessa, whose love had grown in his heart since their childhood. He was a passionate lover, but his family’s financial conditions were difficult. And conservative traditions surrounded him from every side like a bracelet surrounds the wrist, and despite his sincere love for Hessa, who shyly exchanged his feelings of love for him, he was unable to unleash her feminine feelings in his lover, who fell in love with a chaotic man with a strong personality to the point of indifference, and when She leaves him and moves on, leaving him heartbroken and desperate, suffering from depression, from which he cannot recover except when he takes revenge on the man who loved her for a man from whom that shock made another human being, after she taught him the lesson of his life.
