An unusual book, first published in the USA in 1947, in which Stern chronicles his time in Germany immediately after the Second World War where he and a friend, the poet W.H. Auden, worked as observers on behalf of the US Government. For Stern, the assignment sets off unsuspected resonances both with his own childhood in Edwardian Ireland and with his previous years as an amorous young man in Germany itself. A new introduction was written for the English edition by the late Sir Stephen Spender.A
