Description

"Without Fate" is the confession of Hungarian writer Imre Kertész, a Nobel Prize laureate in Literature, who was sent to a concentration camp at the age of 15, managed to go through all the horrors of imprisonment and remain alive. Despite the tragedy, the agony of hunger, the loss of loved ones, the protagonist learns to accept his fate—and even in cruel, inhuman conditions he tries to find hope: “...I felt how readiness grew, how it accumulated in me: I will continue my life, which cannot be continued. ...There is nothing in the world that we have not experienced as something completely natural; and on my path— I know—an inevitable trap lies in wait for me, like happiness.”
