Opis produktu

Imre Kertęsz was born in 1929 in Budapest. As a youth he was imprisoned in Auschwitz and later in Buchenwald. He worked as a journalist and playwright before publishing Fateless his first novel in 1975. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2002.The first word of this haunting novel is no. It is how the narrator a middleaged Hungarian Jewish writer answers an acquaintance who asks if he has a child and it is how he answered his now ex wife when she told him she wanted a baby. The loss longing and regret that haunt the years between those two nos give rise to one of the most eloquent meditations ever written on the Holocaust. As Kertęszs narrator addresses the child he couldnt bear to bring into the world he takes readers on a mesmerising lyrical journey through his life from his childhood to Auschwitz to his failed marriage.A moving mesmerising novel about the dilemma involved in bringing a child into a world in which the evil to create Auschwitz exists.Condenses a lifetime into a story told in a single night...exhilarating for [its] creative energyStunning... resembles such other memorably declamatory fictions as Camus The Fall and Dostoyevskys Notes from UndergroundWhile the average reader cannot pretend truly to understand the reality of those who suffered in concentration camps Kertęsz draws us one step closerFor taking us somewhere no other writer has Kertęsz fully deserved his Nobel PrizeTim Wilkinson is a seriously good translator...I may have given the impression that this is harrowing and it is: but it has its moments of great consoling insight is about far more than just the Holocaust and in its own haunting way provides comfort for the afflicted
