Rothmann describes the ending of the Second World War, February 1945, in north Germany, when the Nazi troops are about to succumb to the Allies. War consequences are visible everywhere. Walter and Friedrich, two seventeen-year-old friends who work on a cow farm, think they’ll never be requested to fight. But they’ll be recruited: Walter will be assigned to a provision unit; and Friedrich to the Hungarian front. This book has been acclaimed as one of the most important novels of contemporary German fiction. It is a book about war, innocence, guilt, freedom, and destiny in the craziness of the Nazis.

Rothmann rememora el final de la segunda guerra mundial, en febrero de 1945, cuando el ej�rcito alem�n est� a punto de sucumbir ante la ofensiva aliada. Los estragos de la guerra son visibles en todo el pa�s. Walter y Friedrich, dos amigos de diecisiete a�os que trabajan en una vaquer�a, creen que nunca ser�n llamados a filas y trazan planes para el futuro.

Aclamada como una de las obras m�s importantes de la ficci�n contempor�nea alemana, Morir en primavera es una emocionante novela en la que la inocencia y la culpa, la libertad y el destino, la amistad y el deber, son conjurados en un estilo limpio y contenido.
