«Wo warst du, Adam?» is Heinrich Böll's anti-war novel, published by Deutscher Taschenbuch Verlag in paperback (144 pages, in German).
Soldier Feinhals travels the Eastern Front to the gates of his home; along the way appear officers, other soldiers, a Slovak innkeeper, and a Catholic Jew. Böll treats war as an illness and shows the irrationality of conflict through episodic scenes, without idealizing anyone.
The work was originally published in 1951; this edition is number 856 of the dtv collection (1975).
For readers of postwar German fiction and anti-war literature, and those interested in World War II.
Heinrich Theodor Böll was a German writer. Considered one of Germany's foremost post–World War II writers, Böll received the Georg Büchner Prize (1967) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1972).
