Ulteriori informazioni

Peter Handke, a giant of Austrian literature, has produced decades of fiction, poetry, and drama informed by some of the most tumultuous events in modern history. But even as these events shaped his work, the presence of his mother - a woman whose life spanned the Weimar Republic, both world wars, and the postwar consumer economy - loomed even larger. In Storm Still, Handke's most recent work, he returns to the land of his birth, the Austrian province of Carinthia. There on the Jaunfeld, the plain at the center of Austria's Slovenian settlement, the dead and the living of a family meet and talk. Composed as a series of monologues, Storm Still chronicles both the battle of the Slovene minority against Nazism and their love of the land. Presenting a panorama that extends back to the author's bitter roots in the region, Storm Still blends penetrating prose and poetic drama to explore Handke's personal history, taking up themes from his earlier books and revisiting some of their characters. In this book, the times of conflict and peace, war and prewar, and even the seasons themselves shift and overlap. And the fate of an orchard comes to stand for the fate of a people.

Info autore

Martin Chalmers, geb. 1948, wuchs in Glasgow auf. Nach dem Studium der Geschichte in Glasgow, Birmingham und Bochum arbeitete er freiberuflich als Kritiker, Autor und vor allem Übersetzer deutscher Literatur (u.a. Herta Müller, Alexander Kluge, Thomas Bernhard, Peter Handke) ins Englische. Sein Interesse als Autor galt immer der Vielschichtigkeit des urbanen Raums, doch auch der Peripherie von Städten und Regionen. 2008 ließ sich Martin Chalmers in seiner Lieblingsstadt Berlin nieder, wo er 2014 starb.
