German · Paperback / Softback

Description

Read more

Die Ursachen waren zerstörend und verbrecherisch - sie hinterließen unauslöschliche Spuren. Das Internat: ein raffiniert gegen den Geist gebauter Kerker; die Stadt: eine Todeskrankheit, ein Friedhof der Phantasie und der Wünsche. Der Krieg: die Stollen, in denen Hunderte erstickt und umgekommen sind; der Großvater: der nur von Großem sprach, von Mozart, Rembrandt und Beethoven.

All diese Belastungen hat Thomas Bernhard in diesem autobiographischen Rechenschaftsbericht literarisch verarbeitet.

About the author

Born in 1931, the illegitimate child of an abandoned mother, Thomas Bernhard was brought up by an eccentric grandmother and an adored grandfather. Tormented as a young student in rightwing, Catholic Austria, Bernhard ran away from home aged fifteen. At eighteen, he contracted pneumonia. Placed in a hospital ward for the old and terminally ill, he observed with unflinching acuity protracted suffering and death. From the age of 21, everything he wrote was shaped by the urgency of a dying man's testament - his witness, the quintessence of his life and knowledge - and where this account of his life ends, his art begins.

Report

Die Autobiografie: Sie beinhaltet den ganzen Bernhard und ist schlicht ein Meisterwerk.
