Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Peter Handke's most important representative work, a coming-of-age novel that inherits the German literary tradition since Goethe and Hesse and has a wanderer temperament.
Having just finished high school, 20-year-old Austrian youth Philip Kobal gave up his graduation trip to Greece with his classmates and decided to go to Slovenia to look for his brother who had been missing for more than 20 years. He brought with him his brother's agricultural college notebook and a Slovenian-German dictionary. With these two things, Kobal discovered the magic of language in narrating and transforming reality. The journey through Slovenia is actually Kobal's journey to trace his ancestors, discover his nation and traditions, and find himself.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Peter Handke (1942- ) is a famous Austrian avant-garde playwright and novelist. His work Kaspar is comparable to Beckett's Waiting for Godot in the history of modern drama. He is known as a master of creating "talking drama" and anti-language discipline. His novels such as The Anxiety of the Goalkeeper Facing a Penalty Kick and The Elegy of Desirelessness are permeated with the writer's own life experience and ideas. He uses the simplest style to create works with rich connotations.
Handke is one of the most important writers in German literature in the 20th century and is known as a "living classic". He won the Büchner Prize in 1973 and the Franz Kafka Prize in 2009. In addition to his literary creation, Wings of Desire, which Handke co-wrote, has become a classic in film history. His own film, The Left-Handed Woman, adapted from his work, was nominated for the Best Film at the Cannes Film Festival.
