«Die Kirschen der Freiheit» is a personal account by Alfred Andersch, published by Diogenes Verlag in paperback (144 pages, in German).
In this personal account, Alfred Andersch recalls pre-war Germany and the years of Nazism, between approximately 1919 and 1945. The central moment is his desertion from the Wehrmacht in 1944, presented not as a fear of dying, but as an existential decision in favour of life and freedom in the face of totalitarianism.
The subtitle of the work is «Ein Bericht». The work was first published in 1952 and the 1995 Diogenes edition corresponds to ISBN 9783257200010.
A work of interest to readers of twentieth-century German fiction, Second World War history and testimonies of opposition to Nazism.
Alfred Hellmuth Andersch was a German writer, publisher, and radio editor. The son of a conservative East Prussian army officer, he was born in Munich, Germany, and died in Berzona, Ticino, Switzerland. Martin Andersch, his brother, was also a writer.
