The events of the play in our hands take place in the sixties of the last century in London, during a period of great social changes. The theme of the play is the cultural and civilizational poverty and great frustration experienced by an entire generation of young people living on social aid.
In “Rescued,” Bond appears to enjoy exhausting our senses by torturing an infant - in a public park - whose mother had left him with his father. What is most horrific is that the alleged father joins his companions in practicing this violence against the infant, to the point of death, without a clear reason. But the critics who defended Bond - and they are few - realized that when he presents a scene like this, he presents it to condemn that political, social, moral and economic vacuum through what T. s. Eliot calls art the “objective equivalent.”
On the night that her husband and children prepare to travel, symptoms of a psychological disorder begin to appear on Mead, a photographer and newspaper archive official. A disorder that makes her see all faces as one face, the face of a bearded Greek god, and little by little, as the disorder worsens, details of the present and past events that led her to the extremely complex social maze she faces are revealed. In a narrative shrouded in mystery, the writer combines imagination with heritage, myth, fantasy, and history, to create from all of this a tight narrative text that discusses major existential and philosophical questions: What is the role of the other versus the ego? What if the hell was me? What if the world existed within the being of only one individual and everything else was an illusion?
We are a generation without farewell, says the German writer Wolfgang Borchert, summarizing the tragedy of his generation that was led into World War II without anyone saying goodbye to it. Perhaps Borchert is the voice most capable of expressing this generation, and that war that left massive material and spiritual devastation in Germany. It also left literary ruin.
Borchert left behind a collection of short stories that his fellow Nobel Prize winner for Literature, Heinrich Böll, describes as “complete masterpieces,” while Egyptian writer Ibrahim Aslan sees in his stories “a sublime expression of the ferocity of all wars without a single direct word.”
In this book, we present to the reader a selection of these stories, and what attracted us to them is the human approach to major topics, such as war and death, love and the feeling of loss, and the artistic expression of them.
