Summary
Three novellas on Germany from the Nazi era through the postwar years. In Scenes from the Life of a Faun, a civil servant tries to forget the war by researching the exploits of a deserter during the Napoleonic Wars, Brand's Heath is on a returning prisoner-of-war, and in Dark Mirrors the lone survivor of atomic warfare discovers he is not alone, but instead of bringing joy this brings fear. The usual sharply observed detail and sarcastic asides from an erudite writer (1914-1979). By the author of Collected Novellas.
