The hauntingly beautiful first novel by Nobel Prize winning author Heinrich BollTwenty-four-year-old Andreas a disillusioned German soldier is travelling on a troop train to the Eastern Front when he has an awful premonition that he will die in exactly five days. As he hurtles towards his death he reflects on the chaos around him - the naïve soldiers the painfully thin girl who pours his coffee the ruined countryside - with sudden heart-breaking poignancy. Arriving in Poland the night before he is certain he will die he meets Olina a beautiful prostitute and together they attempt to escape his fate... 'His work reaches the highest level of creative originality and stylistic perfection' Daily Telegraph'Boll combines a mammoth intelligence with a literary outlook that is masterful and unique' Joseph Heller author of Catch-22'My most-admired contemporary novelist' John Ashbery'From the moment I stepped on board the troop train with Private Andreas concerns pertaining to my own world fell away completely. Holding this impelling book is tantamount to holding the young soldier's fate in one's hands. It is impossible to let go.' Claire-Louise Bennett author of Pond
