«Der Ausflug der toten Mädchen» is Anna Seghers's short story collection, published by Aufbau-Verlag GmbH in paperback (140 pages, in German).
During a walk through Mexico, the narrator recalls, almost as in a dream, a school excursion in 1912 and her classmates Leni, Marianne, Lore and Nora in happier times. Through memory, she reconstructs their lives from the First World War to Nazism: stories of love, friendship, betrayal, cruelty, hypocrisy and death.
The volume, subtitled «Erzählungen», brings together the title story and other tales by Anna Seghers.
For readers of classic German literature and twentieth-century historical fiction about memory and war.
Anna Reiling, known by the pen name Anna Seghers, was a German writer. She was notable for exploring and depicting the moral experience of the Second World War. Born into a Jewish family and married to a Hungarian Communist, Seghers escaped Nazi-controlled territory through wartime France. She was granted a visa and gained ship's passage to Mexico, where she lived in Mexico City (1941–47).
