Description
Thomas Bernhard (1931–1989) is undoubtedly one of the most important Austrian writers of the 20th century. Although he repeatedly provoked far-reaching scandals during his lifetime, he can be described as a 'modern classic' today: His works are available in more than 50 languages and his dramas are performed worldwide.
Axel Diller describes Bernhard’s life and work in a clear, understandable and exciting way. He works out the biographical premises as well as the central themes of Bernhard’s texts: being alone, Austria’s Nazi past and the pursuit of artistic perfection. In addition, the poetic techniques of his prose and drama are presented, for example exaggeration, repetition and last but not least – despite all the tragedy – humor.
