This edition of the "Suhrkamp Basic Library - Working Texts for School and Study" presents a small special feature, as it not only includes Jurek Becker's novel "Bronstein's Children," but also an extensive interview with the author in the appendix, discussing his life, writing, and work, as well as the historical and political background and the thematic complexities of "Bronstein's Children." This edition is complemented by a commentary that contains all the necessary information for understanding: the history of the creation and text, the author's self-statements, the history of reception and interpretation, literary references, and explanations of words and concepts. The writing style of the commentary adheres to the new spelling rules.
