«Eine Gedankenlänge Stille, während das Erschießungskommando neu lädt» is Imre Kertész's collection of essays in paperback (160 pages, in German).
The essays in this volume, written by Imre Kertész, a survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald, address the paradoxes of his life and writing. Kertész was born in Budapest and lived four decades under another dictatorship; from that experience he interrogates the twentieth century, the Holocaust, culture and the role of the intellectual with a radicalism that the title itself condenses.
Volume 22571 of the rororo Taschenbücher series; translation from Hungarian to German by György Buda, Geza Dereky and Krisztina Koenen.
For readers interested in the Holocaust, totalitarianism and testimonial literature, with attention to the essayistic work of a Nobel Prize winner.
Imre Kertész was a Hungarian author and recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history". He was the first Hungarian to win the Nobel in Literature. His works deal with themes of the Holocaust, dictatorship, and personal freedom.
