Paperback. Condition: Very Good. At the age of 14 Georg Koves is plucked from his home in a Jewish section of Budapest and without any particular malice, placed on a train to Auschwitz. He does not understand the reason for his fate. He doesn't particularly think of himself as Jewish. And his fellow prisoners, who decry his lack of Yiddish, keep telling him, You are no Jew. In the lowest circle of the Holocaust, Georg remains an outsider. The genius of Imre Kertesz's unblinking novel lies in its refusal to mitigate the strangeness of its events, not least of which is Georg's dogmatic insistence on making sense of what he witnesses-or pretending that what he witnesses makes sense. Haunting, evocative, and all the more horrifying for its rigorous avoidance of sentiment, Fatelessness is a masterpiece in the traditions of Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, and Tadeusz Borowski.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Imre Kertész's savagely lyrical and suspenseful new novel traces the continuing echoes the Holocaust and communism in the consciousness of contemporary Eastern Europe. Ten years after the fall of communism, a writer named B. commits suicide, devastating his circle and deeply puzzling his friend Kingsbitter. For among B.'s effects, Kingsbitter finds a play that eerily predicts events after his death. Why did B.--who was born at Auschwitz and miraculously survived-take his life? As Kingsbitter searches for the answer--and for the novel he is convinced lies hidden among his friend's papers--Liquidation becomes an inquest into the deeply compromised inner life of a generation. The result is moving, revelatory and haunting.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. The first word in this mesmerizing novel by the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is No. It is how the novel's narrator, a middle-aged Hungarian-Jewish writer, answers an acquaintance who asks him if he has a child. It is the answer he gave his wife (now ex-wife) years earlier when she told him that she wanted one. 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 Kertesz's narrator addresses the child he couldn't bear to bring into the world he ushers readers into the labyrinth of his consciousness, dramatizing the paradoxes attendant on surviving the catastrophe of Auschwitz. Kaddish for the Unborn Child is a work of staggering power, lit by flashes of perverse wit and fueled by the energy of its wholly original voice. Translated by Tim Wilkinson. …

Paperback. Condition: Fair. From Nobel Laureate Imre Kertész comes this riveting novel about a torturer for the secret police of a Latin American regime who tells the haunting story of the father and son he ensnared and destroyed. Now in prison, Antonio Martens is a torturer for a recently defunct dictatorship. He requests and is given writing materials in his cell, using them to narrate his involvement in the torture and assassination of a wealthy and prominent man and his son whose principled but passive opposition to the regime left them vulnerable to the secret police. Inside Martens's mind, we inhabit the rationalizing world of evil and see firsthand the inherent danger of inertia during times of crisis. A slim, explosive novel of justice railroaded by malevolence, Detective Story is a warning cry for our time.…

Condition: Gut. 1. Aufl., dt. Erstausg. 141 Seiten "Für den Verlagslektor Keserü wird zehn Jahre nach der Wende das «Liquidation» betitelte Theaterstück, das er aus dem Nachlass seines Freundes B. gerettet hat, zum Gegenstand obsessiver Erinnerungsarbeit. B., in Auschwitz geboren, hat sich 1990 überraschend umgebracht, in seinem Stück jedoch gespenstisch genau die Situation vorweggenommen, die die Hinterbliebenen dann in der Realität erleben sollten: Verwirrung, private Zerwürfnisse, Schlammschlachten aller Art. Umso verzweifelter, als hinge der eigene Lebenssinn davon ab, fahndet Keserü nach dem «großen Lebensroman» B. s, den er im Nachlass zu finden gehofft hat." (Klappentext) Leichte Gebrauchs- oder Lagerspuren. Schutzumschlag leicht angestaubt, Rückseite innen Datumseintrag des Vorbesitzers: Juni 2004. Insgesamt sonst sehr guter Zustand.
