On a Dark Night I Left My Silent HousePeter Handke; Krishna Winston
ISBN: 9780374175474
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux Publication Date: 2000 Binding: Hardcover On a Dark Night I Left My Silent House is Peter Handke's evocative, moving, often fantastic novel about one man's conflict with himself and his journey toward resolution. During one night shift, an unnamed, middle-aged pharmacist in Taxham, an isolated suburb of Salzburg, tells his story to a narrator. The pharmacist is known and well respected, but lonely and estranged from his wife. He feels most comfortable wandering about in nature, collecting and eating hallucinogenic mushrooms. One day he receives a blow to the head that leaves him unable to speak, and the narrative is transformed from ironic description into a collection of sensual impressions, observations, and reflections. The pharmacist, who is now called the driver, sets out on a quest, traveling into the Alps with two companions-a former Olympic skiing champion and a once famous poet -where he is beaten and later stalked by a woman. He drives through a tunnel and has a premonition of death, then finds himself in a surreal, foreign land. In a final series of bizarre, cathartic events, the driver regains his speech and is taken back to his pharmacy-back to his former life, but he is forever changed. A powerful, poetic exploration of language, longing, and dislocation in the human experience, On a Dark Night I Left My Silent House reveals Handke at his magical best. |

Once Again for ThucydidesPeter Handke; Tess Lewis
ISBN: 9780811213882
Publisher: New Directions Publication Date: 1998 Binding: Hardcover "Once Again for Thucydides" is a collection of twelve short journals Peter Handke wrote on trips around the world, from the Balkans to the Pyrenees, from Salzburg to the sea of Hakkaido in Japan. In each journal, Handke concentrates on small things he observes, trying to capture their essence, their "simple, unadorned validity." What results is a word of remarkable precision, in which he uncovers the general appearance of such random things as a tree, a shoeshine man, a boat loading on a pier, and discovers their inner workings and mystery. Always, his writing hints at the unknown. Describing the snow melting in a garden or falling during an inland train ride through Japan, the glowworms illuminating the plains in Friuli, the tidal waters flowing and receding off the Atlantic coast of Spain, these amazing little "epics" reveal a narrator obsessed with the wonders of detail and marveling, as are we, at the scope and variety of the natural world. In the words of German writer Gerhard Meier, "Once Again for Thucydides" ends up being "a courageous and defiantly independent book." |

My Year in the No-Man'S-BayPeter Handke; Krishna Winston
ISBN: 9780374217556
Publisher: Farrar Straus & Giroux Publication Date: 1998 Binding: Hardcover Handke tells the story of an Austrian writer - a man much like Handke himself - who undergoes a "metamorphosis" from self-assured artist into passive "observer and chronicler". He explores the world and describes his many severed relationships, from his tenuous contact with his son, to a failed marriage to "the Catalan", to a doomed love affair with a former Miss Yugoslavia. As the writer sifts through his memories, he is also under pressure to complete his next novel, but he cannot decide how to come to terms with both the complexity of the world and the inability of his novel to reflect it. |
