Book Description: Northwestern University Press, United States, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 229 x 152 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Rescued in 1945 from Dachau--where Francois Mitterand, his onetime comrade in the resistance, recognized him among the thousands of quarantined prisoners--Robert Antelme set out to do what seemed "unimaginable," to describe not only his experience but the humanity of his captors. The result, "The Human Race, " was called by George Perec "the finest example in contemporary French writing of what literature can be." In this volume, the extraordinary nature and extent of Robert Antelme's accomplishment, and of the reverberations he set in motion in French life and literature, finds eloquent expression. The pieces Antelme wrote for journals--including essays on "principles put to the test," man as the "basis of right," and the question of revenge--appear here alongside appreciations of "The Human Race" by authors from Perec to Maurice Blanchot to Sarah Kofman. Also included are Antelme's personal recollections and interviews with, among others, Dionys Mascolo (who brought Antelme back from Dachau), Marguerite Duras (Antelme's wife, who tells of his return from Germany), and Mitterand.Also available: Antelme's "The Human Race".
