Peter Handke is the 2019 Nobel Prize laureate in Literature, a member of “Group 47,” a prose writer, playwright, and screenwriter—one of the most important German-language writers of the post-war era.
Handke’s texts are known for their unique linguistic solutions and a richly textured style. They are about the world, about life, about being in the moment and savoring it. Under the cover of this book you’ll find four novellas: “Slow Return Home,” “Lessons of Mount Saint-Victoire,” “A Child’s Story,” and “Across the Villages.”
Vivid and cinematic storytelling will open for you an entire world imagined by a true artist and a highly talented writer.
NOBEL COMMITTEE: “For weighty works in which, masterfully making use of the possibilities of language, Handke explores the margins and the peculiarity of human experience.”
