Abstract
Böll’s famous novel seems in danger of being forgotten; this paper attempts to demonstrate its enduring topicality and relevance to the present day. It focuses on three themes: concern for humanity (Menschlichkeit), rejection of a capitalist market economy, and a re-evaluation of the concept of ‘wastefulness’, including racist and economic aspects. Set in Germany over half a century (1920–1971), Böll’s critique of power politics, socio-economic and religious predominance is still relevant today.
期刊介绍：
Oxford German Studies is a fully refereed journal, and publishes in English and German, aiming to present contributions from all countries and to represent as wide a range of topics and approaches throughout German studies as can be achieved. The thematic coverage of the journal continues to be based on an inclusive conception of German studies, centred on the study of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present, but extending a warm welcome to interdisciplinary and comparative topics, and to contributions from neighbouring areas such as language study and linguistics, history, philosophy, sociology, music, and art history. The editors are literary scholars, but seek advice from specialists in other areas as appropriate.
