Dive into Thomas Bernhard's masterpiece, 'Old Masters,' a comedy that offers a sharp reflection on old age and a scathing critique of art and society. Through his obsessive and labyrinthine prose, Bernhard presents us with a diatribe against the State and the impostures of his contemporaries. This edition from Cátedra, edited by Javier Aparicio Maydeu, is a gem of Austrian literature and a testament to Bernhard's genius.
Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard was an Austrian novelist, playwright, poet and polemicist who is considered one of the most important German-language authors of the postwar era. He explored themes of death, isolation, obsession and illness in controversial literature that was pessimistic about the human condition and highly critical of post-war Austrian and European culture. He developed a distinctive prose style often featuring multiple perspectives on characters and events, idiosyncratic vocabulary and punctuation, and long monologues by protagonists on the verge of insanity.
