Opis

After surviving Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, H.G. Adler (1910-88), vividly captured the experience in over two dozen books. And yet he remained almost entirely unknown. A writer of modernist novels, pioneering works on the Holocaust, and a last representative of Kafka's Prague, Adler was a man whose times lived through him.

Recenzje

The research and intellectual commitment behind the biography is formidable...[Filkin] has done H. G. Adler more than justice: he has created a luminous new work that parallels Adler's own practice in its combination of lyrical prose, scrupulous scholarship and humanism. Helen Finch, The University of Leeds, TLS
