Summer of Dead Dreams (German: Sommer der toten Träume)[1] is a novel by German writer Harry Thürk, published in 1993[2] by Mitteldeutscher Verlag.[3] It is an autobiography with fictional elements.[4][5][6]

The book was translated to English, Polish (by Marcin Domino and Anna Myszyńska),[4][7] Czech (by Miroslava Mamulová),[8] Russian, Chinese, Slovak, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Vietnamese, Spanish and Finnish.[9]

Małgorzata Jurczak was planning a film adaptation of the book, but it was delayed due to a lack of money.[10]

The characters presented in the book are fictional, but the story is inspired by author's real experiences.[11]

Plot summary[edit]

The novel tells about three Germans: Oswald Hirschke, Jakob Latta and Schliebitz and a Romani woman called Alina.[12] The story takes place in the summer of 1945 in Prudnik, shortly after the end of World War II.[13] The main characters live in a ghetto on Chrobrego and Królowej Jadwigi Street,[4] created by the Red Army in April 1945 after the end of the Battle of Prudnik.[14] They are being used by Poles that came to Prudnik after the war and Russian soldiers.[5] They are trying to escape to East Germany.
