Seller's Description:
New York. 1997. January 1997. Viking Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0670873411. Translated from the German by Scott Abbott. 83 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Merideth Harte. keywords: Literature Translated Germany History Politics Serbia. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Published in Germany in 1996, A JOURNEY TO THE RIVERS created a firestorm of controversy, being likened, by some, to revisionist writings mitigating Nazi guilt for World War II. But that is a grave misreading of the book, for Peter Handke proffers no justification or explanations for Serbian atrocities in the Balkan conflict. A Journey to the Rivers is, rather, both a scathing criticism of Western war reporting, which Peter Handke describes as lazy and mendacious, and a wonderfully sensitive and nuanced travelogue through Serbia. inventory #33839.
