Hardback: Lacks DJ. My life was greatly enriched by reading the superb English translation of Frisch's "Man in the Holocene". Frisch piles intimate, mundane details into a metaphor for the human condition and allows the reader to draw the larger inferences. An isolated alpine cottage becomes all the world we need. The need to understand our world is balanced by the depressing realization that we know less every day as we age. As Herr's options close in, we realize what Frisch has brought us to.Man in the Holocene. Fifteen years after reading this book, it is still the first I recommend to a new acquaintance. You'll think of it every time you mislay your car keys. Absolutely important and finely crafted. This novella is a neglected masterpiece of 20th century literature. As a study of modern anxiety & alienation, it belongs on a shelf with Sartre's "Nausea" and Camus' "The Stranger. " The form is completely original: the narrative of a 73 year-old man's mental and physical collapse is told in fragments of memory and thought, some only a few words long. Taken together, these fragments, completely controlled and deadpan, approach the beauty of prose poetry. One or two of the fragments have the harrowing power of Kafka's aphorisms--than which there is no higher praise. A must read. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 113 pages. Nº de ref. del artículo: 43648

Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 2 bright, clean & tight copies, unread, in great condition & sold together. Both translated by Geoffrey Skelton. MAN IN THE HOLOCENE: "In this compact masterpiece, Max Frisch, one of Switzerland's most celebrated writers, re-creates with formidable depth and clarity the state of consciousness of an old man who projects onto Nature his sense of personal doom. Herr Geiser lives in a mountain valley in the Swiss canton Ticino, a region with a long history of avalanches, quakes, floods. Alone in his house--he is a widower--he looks and listens for any sign of disintegration caused by the torrential rains. The highway is blocked by rockslides, the village is isolated. Geiser expects the mountain to fall, burying his house and himself. But the threat he sees without is a reflection of what is happening within. Geiser suffers the double tragedy of losing his reason and being aware of it, step by helpless step. Max Frisch links his protagonist to biological and geological Nature, for Geiser becomes obsessed with patheontology as he slips away from himself toward reintegration into the age-old history of the earth, into the Holocene, that period when man evolved from the Neolithic stage." [publisher copy] Erstwhile remainder hardcover (black marker on text bottom edge) w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, in an intact NF jacket. + MONTAUK (Tin House paperback reprint, 2016): "Max Frisch's candid story of his affair with a young woman illuminates a lifetime of relationships. Casting himself as both subject and observer, Frisch reflects on his marriages, children, friendships, and careers; a holiday weekend in Long Island is a trigger to recount and question events and aspects of his own life, along with creeping fears of mortality. He paints a bittersweet portrait that is sometimes painful and sometimes humorous, but always affecting. Emotionally raw and formally innovative, Frisch's novel collapses the distinction between art and life, but leaves the reader with a richer understanding of both." [] "In this spectacular melancholic novel Max Frisch perfects the art of understatement. His casual itemization of betrayals and losses is, at first, dry and brilliantly done. Slowly, statements like 'he was a friend of ours,' turn into bitter accusations and MONTAUK, the autobiography of a brief vacation, becomes a quiet and hugely subtle rendering of love's terrible disappointments. You will not be able to get this account of acceptance out of your mind."--Michael Silverblatt. Pristine & unread NEW paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Nº de ref. del artículo: RUB2256
