Aus Unserer Zeit

By Ian C. Loram

Book Overview

For this fourth edition the number of questions on the stories has been reduced and a second, more creative, method for discussing the texts has been introduced. Following the traditional questions to be answered in German at the end of each selection, a new exercise, Zur Besprechung des Textes, will be found. The words and phrases, quotations, names, and formulations that appear under this new heading serve as points of departure for classroom discussions or written summaries. They are not as narrowly focused as the usual questions and thus offer students a broader and more creative context within which to practice and improve their spoken and written German.

Excellent collection of German stories and poems

This book is a wonderful collection of German short stories and poems from 20th century authors from the German speaking world. All of the stories are in German, with a short introduction for each in English and a glossary for every German word in the back. In addition to this, the majority of the vocabulary is not very difficult for those with a basic knowledge of the language. I would not recommend it to a beginning student, but an intermediate German student should be able to handle it.
