Andreas, el protagonista de esta breve pero impactante novela, es un joven soldado nazi que en 1943 ha sido destinado al frente oriental, donde está convencido de que encontrará su destino final. Viaja en un tren que va hacia Polonia repleto de militares con un futuro incierto acechando en el horizonte. Este angustiante viaje de Andreas va desvelándose como una reflexión sobre la vida y la muerte, sobre el amor, así como sobre el verdadero papel de la religión y la sociedad en general en una situación extrema, como es la guerra. Tyskland, slutningen af 1943 En ung mand, Andreas, er på vej med et troppetog til fronten. Han har en konstant forudanelse om snarlig død. Men han ved ikke om det er nu eller om et år? Han spiller kort med et par andre i toget og ser hvordan alle omkring ham har indrettet sig efter krigen og dens vilkår. Toget er selvfølgelig et billede på hele krigsmaskinen, der kværner unge mennesker til blodig grød. ??? inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Heinrich Böll's taut and haunting first novel tells the story of twenty-four-year-old Private Andreas as he journeys on a troop train across the German countryside to the Eastern front. Trapped, he knows that Hitler has already lost the war ... yet he is suddenly galvanized by the thought that he is on the way to his death. nbsp; As the train hurtles on, he riffs through prayers and memories, talks with other soldiers about what they've been through, and gazes desperately out the window at his country racing away. With mounting suspense, Andreas is gripped by one thought over all: Is there a way to defy his fate? Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

On the first page of The Train Was On Time, Böll alerts the reader to the importance of language, in what seems to be a rather strange paragraph:
For Andreas, it's as he boards the train that the word 'soon' enters him like a bullet and almost imperceptibly penetrating flesh, tissues, cells, nerves, until at some point it caught, like a barbed hook... His fate dawns on him as he tries to calculate where and when his ultimate destination might be and he is suddenly overwhelmed by the shock of fear. He realises he will never again see that station, his friend, or even a man he'd abused.
Reminiscent of the way Jews were packed into trains so tightly that some of them were crushed to death en route, Andreas and his fellow soldiers are squeezed into the carriage for their journey. Andreas sits down on his pack because there's nowhere else to put it, and...
In another irony, they jam the door shut with their bodies so that others may not enter, an allusion to the way that the Jews were locked and bolted into the carriages from the outside so that they could not get out.
