«Sin destino» is the novel by Imre Kertész, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardback (238 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows György Köves, a fifteen-year-old Hungarian Jewish boy, from his arrest to Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Narrated in the first person through the eyes of someone who does not fully understand what he is living through, it addresses innocence, identity, and the experience of the concentration camps.
Original title: «Sorstalanság»; translation by Judith Xantus Fzarvas and prologue by Jaime Vándor. Originally published in 1975; this Spanish edition is from 1997.
For readers of historical fiction and Holocaust literature, with a sober and subjective perspective far from the classic testimonial account.
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.
