Th is article deals with the time dimensions of the short story Der Ausflug der toten Mädchen by Anna Seghers, a masterpiece of exile literature.

Linguistic analysis shows that this is also due to a specifi c use of the time connectives and verb tenses, in particular the so-called future past and epic preterit.
