«Die wunderbaren Jahre. Prosa» is Reiner Kunze's collection of prose published by Fischer in paperback, 128 pages, in German.
Reiner Kunze portrays in short prose the lives of young people in the GDR: surveillance, indoctrination and lack of freedom. The book arises from conversations with students, workers and soldiers, and from experience with his own daughter; it is a serene protest against injustice and a defence of self-determination.
Volume 2074 of the Fischer Taschenbücher series. Pocket format (12 x 19 cm). The work was originally published in 1976.
For those interested in twentieth-century German literature and in testimonies about life in East Germany.
Reiner Kunze is a German writer and GDR dissident. He studied media and journalism at the University of Leipzig. In 1968, he left the GDR state party SED following the communist Warsaw Pact countries invasion of Czechoslovakia in response to the Prague Spring. He had to publish his work under various pseudonyms. In 1976, his most famous book The Lovely Years, which contained critical insights into the life, and the policies behind the Iron Curtain, was published in West Germany to great acclaim. In 1977, the GDR regime expatriated him, and he moved to West Germany (FRG). He now lives near Passau in Bavaria.
