Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Two novellas by Peter Handke-his first new works since he won the 2019 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Second Sword and My Day in the Other Land are two new novellas by the 2019 Nobel laureate Peter Handke. The first picks up the story where Handke's last work of fiction, The Fruit Thief (described in The New York Times as 'an experience of unadulterated literature'), left off.

Aided by his sister, he embarks on a journey to a lake on whose opposite shore lies the 'other land.' What ensues is an exorcism of sorts-and one of Handke's most evocative and original endings. Together, The Second Sword and My Day in the Other Land are essential new entries in a body of work like no other.…
