Dieser Roman Heinrich Bölls entstand in der Zeit zwischen 1949 und 1951. Die Handlung beginnt am 8. Mai 1945, dem Tag der Kapitulation. Ein Soldat, mit falschen Papieren desertiert, kehrt in seine zerbombte Heimatstadt zurück und begibt sich auf die Suche nach einer Bleibe. "Die Handlung zeigt die Menschen dieser Zeit, ihren Hunger", schrieb Heinrich Böll, "sie berichtet von einer Liebesgeschichte, klar und spröde, die der Phrasenlosigkeit der heimkehrenden Generation entspricht, die weiß, daß es keine Heimat auf dieser Welt gibt."

HEINRICH BOLL (1917-85) was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972. He was one of the most outspoken of literary figures, "The Conscience of Germany" if not the West, in speaking upon the hypocrisies of both denazification and the wonder of German economic recovery during the 1950s. A wounded soldier himself, Boll was a champion of individual rights over the authority of the State.
The year he won the Nobel Prize, there were also calls to revoke the award following Boll's article in Der Spiegel in defense of the constitutional rights or a terrorist group.
