Abstract:

Alfred Andersch is one of the important names of German literature. The works of the author, which had a great impact especially in the post-war German literature, attracted attention with its political content and received great acclaim. His works, which contain moral and political action, shed light on both a historical period and a social turmoil, have elevated the author to an important representative position. The author's novel The Cherries of Freedom, which we discussed in this study, is an important work that describes the National Socialist period quite successfully. The novel, which focuses on the National Socialist period, has not only witnessed a historical process, but also offered different perspectives by including important names such as Max, Hegel, Kierkegaard into the world of the figure. He embodied the concepts of freedom, fear, and bondage through the internal reckoning of the figure throughout the novel.
