Krátky popis
The Impostor, by the admired Spanish writer Javier Cercas, is a
true story that is nevertheless packed with fiction - fiction
created by its main character, Enric Marco. Who is Enric Marco? An
old man from Barcelona who claims to be a Nazi concentration camp
survivor and rises to be president of Spain's leading Holocaust
survivor movement, the Friends of Mauthausen. By the time he is
unmasked in Austria in 2005 on the eve of the seventieth
anniversary of the liberation of the camp, he has become a civic
hero, speaking at hundreds of conferences, granting dozens of
interviews, receiving state honours, publishing a successful memoir
and even moving Spanish congressmen to tears at a memorial homage
to Republicans deported by the Third Reich.The case shocked the
world, and Enric Marco was labelled a great imposter to which he
responded: ",I am an impostor, but not a fraud.",A decade later,
Javier Cercas addresses the enigma of the man, his truths and lies,
and, through an investigation that unravels Spain's history in the
twentieth century, delves with passion and unflinching honesty into
that deepest part of human nature - our infinite capacity for
self-deception, our need for conformity, our lies, our insatiable
thirst for affection and our opposing needs for fiction and
reality.The Impostor is an extraordinary novel that not only tells
Marco's self-deluding story, but also challenges the reader to
consider how truthful any of us is in the way we present ourselves
in daily life. Are we not all, asks Cercas, the novelists of our
own lives?Translated from the Spanish by Frank Wynne
