Summary
Ingeborg Bachmann: Simultano
*Simultaneo* Ingeborg Bachmann is the last collection of short stories she published during her lifetime and is today considered important for understanding her late work. It consists of five short stories, the last of which is disproportionately longer than the others and can be considered a novella. We put a text from one of her interviews on the cover of this edition: "I have already been asked several times why I harbor the idea of some utopian country, some utopian world in which everything will be good, in which we will all be good. Answering that, while we are constantly faced with the disgust of everyday life, can seem paradoxical, because what we have is actually nothing. A person is rich when he owns something more than material things. I do not believe in that materialism, in that consumer society, in that the monstrosity that is going on here - that people have the right to get rich. Although that day will probably never come, because they have always trampled on us. Because if I can't believe it anymore, I can't even write."
