New York. 1975. Norton. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0393087190. Translated by Esther Greenleaf Murer. 217 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Norway Translated. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Jens Bjørneboe is the pre-eminent Norwegian novelist of our time, and this novel is a devastating revelation of the German character. The narrator, a court clerk in an alpine valley, sets out to write down the story of his life-his perception of truth. With the vision of a painter, he describes bestialities and beauties, the world full of stars and excrement, of freedom and what it is and of unfreedom and why it is. And he describes, too, the German cross to which he is nailed. He recognizes his love for things Germanic, despite his perception of the German character. Slowly he realizes that all his attempts to perceive order in life lead only to his acceptance of the chaos of life. Thus, the narrator arrives at his moment of truth, his realization of what constitutes life and death for him and the struggle between the two. He knows at last what he must accept from his past to free his present; to live uncoerced by power, unpersuaded by friends; to take for himself the liberty of stating his critique in order to live in his own moment of truth. The power of this novel derives from superb writing, narrative drive, philosophic insights, humor, sensuality, and an apocalyptic view of mankind. It may be that rare event-a work of literature. inventory #44984.
