Norbert Gstrein - Im ersten Licht

Description

Norbert Gstrein gives us a whole human life. Each life is fragile in this novel, which begins with an axe blow: Adrian's father makes him unfit for the First World War as a young man, perhaps saving him. The stubborn, tender person who from then on lags behind through over eighty years of life is the wonder of this storytelling. Adrian sees his world collapse twice, deals twice with young men who had less luck than he did, and in old age experiences the unexpected love story of a man who was raised for everything except love. How do we live in the shadow of wars and killing? With a fearless look into the past, "Im ersten Licht" confronts this great question of the present.
