Krátky popis
",A fine example of everyone's favourite genre: the genre-defying
book, inspired by history, filtered through imagination and
finished with a jeweller's eye for detail", JOHN SELF, Guardian",As
we deal with the consequences, emotional and material, of a
pandemic, it is hard to imagine a better guide to the resources of
hope than Schalansky's deeply engaging inventory", MICHAEL CRONIN,
Irish Times",Weaving fiction, autobiography and history, this
sumptuous collection of texts offers meditations on the diverse
phenomena of decomposition and destruction", Financial Times
",Books of the Year",Following the conventions of a different
genre, each of the pieces in Schalansky's Inventory considers
something that is irretrievably lost to the world, from the
paradisal island of Tuanaki, the Caspian Tiger or the Villa
Sacchetti in Rome, to Sappho's love poems, Greta Garbo's fading
beauty or a painting by Caspar David Friedrich. As a child of the
former East Germany, it's not surprising that ",loss", and its
aftermath should haunt Schalansky's writing, but what is
extraordinary and exhilarating is the engaging mixture of
intellectual curiosity, ironic humour, stylistic elegance,
intensity of feeling and grasp of life's pitiless vitality, that
combine to make this one of the most original literary works of
recent times. Translated from the German by Jackie Smith
