Review:
Words and stories and memory are the vehicle by which the reader moves, intoxicatingly and fearlessly, through a dizzying but magnificent series of terrains. — Michele Filgate (The Boston Globe)
Wonderful, elegant and exhilarating, ferocious as well as virtuosic: The End of Days is her most direct address to history. — Deborah Eisenberg (The New York Review of Books)
One of the finest, most exciting authors alive. — Michael Faber
Dreamlike, almost incantatory prose. — Vogue
Beautiful and ambitious. Erpenbeck’s graceful prose suits the understated tone of this Hans Fallada Prize winner. — Publishers Weekly, (starred review)
The brutality of her subjects, combined with the fierce intelligence and tenderness at work behind her restrained, unvarnished prose, is overwhelming. — Nicole Krauss

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Who are we when we are born? Who are we when the hour of our death comes? What changes? What remains? By tracing the five possible lives lived and the five deaths of one woman whose life spans, or fails to span, the twentieth century, the magical, magisterial author of Visitation exposes the machinations of what we call 'fate' - actually inexplicable and undetermined, an interplay of culture and history, of family and personal entanglements.The protagonist never grows up, suffocates in her cradle. Or perhaps not? Dies as a lover. Or doesn't after all. Dies betrayed. Highly honoured. Or forgotten by everyone. Or perhaps not? Erpenbeck takes us on a journey through the many lives that could be contained in one single life - starting off in a small Galician town in about 1900 and going to Vienna and Stalin's Moscow before ending up in present-day Berlin. She interrogates the impact of the political on the personal, and as she tackles this theme she draws on a uniquely German narrative impetus: the ongoing need to reckon with its past and its place in recent history. A story of the twentieth century told through the various lives of one woman: an intoxicating masterpiece of a novel that kneads time and History like dough.
