Siegfried Lenz Hamburger Ausgabe: Stadtgespräch

Hamburg edition of the works. A reader-friendly study edition, all texts reviewed and compared with the original typescripts and first prints. Each volume contains a detailed commentary on the history of its creation and reception. A small town on a fjord, a righteous town. Only once was it different: an event tore it out of its order and became the talk of the town. Tobis, the narrator, remembers the time of the occupation. After an assassination 44 hostages were taken into custody. Daniel, the leader of the resistance group, was forced to turn himself in. He must make a choice: If he obeys the order, the resistance will be broken. If he doesn't surrender, 44 men will die.
