history: Heinrich Theodor Böll (1917-1985) was one of the most outstanding German authors of the post-war era and laureate of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972. In his works the former Nazi opponent dealt with the then recently founded Federal Republic of Germany in a critical way. His works have been translated in more than 30 languages.
