Soul of Wood

Paperback. Zustand: Good. 185 pages. Cover chippedSoul of Wood made Jakov Lind's reputation as one of the most boldy imaginativ e postwar writers and it remains his most celebrated achievement. In the title n ovella and six subsequent stories, Lind distorts and refashions reality to make the deepest horrors of the twentieth century his own. Set during World War II, Soul of Wood is the story of Wohlbrecht, a peg-legged veteran of World War I, w ho smuggles Anton Barth, a paralyzed Jewish boy, to a mountain hideout after the boy's parents have been sent to their deaths. Abandoning the helpless boy to th e elements, Wohlbrecht returns to Vienna, where, having been committed to an ins ane asylum, he helps the chief psychiatrist to administer lethal injections to o ther patients. But Germany is collapsing and the war will soon be over. The one way, Wohlbrecht realizes, that he can evade retribution is by returning to the w oods to redeem his hidden Jew. Others, however, have had the same bright idea. Artikel-Nr. 2390ag
