On this site, there are short stories in Biber 1-5 collections of works. These are stories of reconciliation in the context of the legacy of wars and violence in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, and stories that can contribute to better understanding between people, reducing hatred and breaking down prejudices, anti-war stories, stories dealing with the past, breaking down images of enemies, compassion with others, brave stories that dare to walk in the "enemy's" shoes, stories that push the boundaries and open the way for us to build a more certain, safer and a freer future for all.

Wow

Sounds great. I was looking for war/anti-war stories/poems during the Cold War in Eastern, Southeastern, and Central Europe. Thanks Sveltana.

Hi Hamid, is the Enlish level to be considered as A2 or B1?

Greetings, You can also check Mahmoud Darwish's poems. He is a Palestinian poet, and his poems have been translated into over 40 other languages.

ccccheck out the British WWI Dymock Poets group (1914).

This course is not English as a Second Language. We cover literary resources and composition techniques in this course. Students are first- and second-year students who have to pick at least 6 credits of English in their programs.

@Berite Gudeta Dida

Why did I forget Mahmood Darwish?!!

Thanks for the mention Berite.

Much appreciated

@James Mosbey

Sure, James. I will check them right away.

Thanks

Also check "A Corner in a Foreign Field" and the poems of Wilfred Owen

Hi. I am not a typical "poem guy", but I DO make exceptions. My absolute favorite is by John McCray, In Flanders Fields. I think it sums up the futility of wars in a nice way. And is easily found on the net, as rather famous.

Cheers
