Billiards at Half Past Nine Heinrich Böll 1961 Written by the recipient of the 1972 Nobel Prize in Literature. Billiards at Half-Past Nine (German: Billard um halb zehn) is a 1959 novel by the German author Heinrich Böll. The entirety of the narrative takes place on a day in the autumn of 1958, with flashbacks, and characters' retellings from memory by the characters. It focuses on the Faehmel family's history, from the end of the 19th century, until that day; it largely reflects the opposition of the author (who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1972) to the period of Nazism, as well as his aversion to war in general. --Wikipedia First Edition in English Scarce See photos for a better idea of item's actual condition.
