With the world bestsellers "Das Boot" and "Die Festung", Lothar-Günther Buchheim has written two epoch-making, unique novels about the absurd reality of war. "Der Abschied" concludes Buchheim's incomparable trilogy. In Rotterdam harbor lies the "NS Otto Hahn," ready for the voyage to Durban. As captain, the former commander of the "boat" leads the ship to South Africa. On board is Lothar-Günther Buchheim: His detailed account of the only nuclear ship under the German flag exposes the vision of a hybrid technical development and reflects it in the absurdity of daily shipboard operations. As the distance to the destination becomes shorter and shorter, the evening conversations between the two protagonists become longer and longer — they talk about the time on the "boat", the days in the "Fortress", the end of the war and life afterwards. Then, in the dust and dirt of the Durban loading dock, they say goodbye… [Das Boot Trilogy III]
