«Roman eines Schicksallosen» is Imre Kertész's Holocaust novel, published by Rowohlt Taschenbuch in paperback (288 pages, in German).
A Hungarian teenager is deported to Auschwitz and Buchenwald during the Holocaust; through his childish, naive gaze, the narrative describes the routine of the camps, dehumanisation and the survival instinct, without explaining or judging events. Horror coexists with moments of strange normality.
The novel was originally published in 1975 in Hungarian under the title «Sorstalanság»; the German translation is by Christina Viragh. Imre Kertész received the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Recommended for readers with German proficiency interested in Holocaust literature and twentieth-century Central European narrative.
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.
