Paperback. Zustand: New. "On the day of the Great Fall he left nothing, nothing at all behind." The latest work by Peter Handke, one of our greatest living writers, chronicles a day in life of an aging actor as he makes his way on foot from the outskirts of a great metropolis into its center. He is scheduled to receive a prestigious award that evening from the country's president, and the following day he is supposed to start shooting for a film-perhaps his last-in which he plays a man who runs amok. While passing through a forest, he encounters the outcasts of the society-homeless people and migrants-but he keeps trudging along, traversing a suburb whose inhabitants are locked in petty but mortal conflicts, crossing a seemingly unbridgeable superhighway, and wandering into an abandoned railyard, where police, unused to pedestrians, detain him briefly on suspicion of terrorism.   Things don't improve when he reaches the heart of the city. There he can't help but see the alienation characteristic of its residents and the omnipresent malign influence of electronic technology. What, then, is the "Great Fall"? What is this heart-wrenching, humorous, distinctively attentive narrative trying to tell us? As usual, Peter Handke, deeply introspective and powerfully critical of the world around him, leaves it to the reader to figure out.…

Zustand: New. &Uumlber den AutorPeter Handke is an Austrian novelist and playwright. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2019. His numerous works include the novels Short Letter, Long Farewell The Left-Handed Wom.

Zustand: Sehr gut. 224 S. The Great Fall by Peter Handke follows one day in the life of an ageing actor as he walks from the outskirts of a great city toward its centre. On his way to receive a prestigious award and prepare for what may be his final film role, he encounters figures at the margins of society the homeless, migrants, outcasts and moves through forests, suburbs, highways and abandoned places. Written in Handkes distinctive, introspective style, the novel becomes less a conventional plot-driven story than a literary journey through memory, alienation, observation and the strange tensions of modern life. This English translation by Krishna Winston presents the work of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2019 winner in a thoughtful and atmospheric edition. Small signature line: A walk through the city, a fall through the mind classic Handke territory.
