Weiss ernst (Oltre 3300 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. Written in a highly unreliable first person narrative, Ernst Weiss' unsung masterwork is an account of a crime and its aftermath. The hero (or villain) is tried, sentenced and deported to a remote island. He seeks redemption from his crimes in science, but eventually learns that in spite of himself he is a man of feeling. Weiss' book came out of the same fertile literary ground between the wars that produced Musil's The Man Without Qualities (Picador, 1930) and, like many other modernist classics, it is a prescient description of a profoundly unsettled society.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. First published in 1931 and now appearing for the first time in English, Georg Letham: Physician and Murderer is a disquieting anatomy of a deviant mind in the tradition of Crime and Punishment. Letham, the treacherously unreliable narrator, is a depraved bacteriologist whose murder of his wife is, characteristically, both instinctual and premeditated. Convicted and exiled, he attempts to atone for his crimes through science, conceiving of the book we are reading as an empirical report on himselfP#8212;whose ultimate purpose may be to substitute for a conscience. Yet Letham can neither understand nor master himself. His crimes are crimes of passion, and his passions remain more or less untouched by his reasonP#8212;in fact they are constantly intruding on his Pquot;report,Pquot; rigorous as it is intended to be. Both feverish and chilling, Georg Letham explores the limits of reason and the tensions between objectivity and subjectivity. Moving from an unnamed Central European city to arctic ice floes to a tropical island prison, this layered novelP#8212;with its often grotesquely comic tone and arresting imagesP#8212;invites us into the darkest chambers of the human psyche. Mixing Fritz Lang and Alfred Hitchcock with Dostoevsky, a chilling exploration of a deviant mind. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Condizione: As New. : En 'El testigo ocular', Ernst Weiss aborda el delicado tema del ascenso de Hitler al poder, una experiencia que él mismo vivió como víctima, uniéndose a los exiliados que optaron por el suicidio tras la entrada de tropas alemanas en París en 1940. Con precisión, Weiss narra la historia de un joven médico que, al finalizar la Primera Guerra Mundial, cura la ceguera histérica del cabo H. mediante hipnosis. Posteriormente, el médico se enfrenta a las terribles consecuencias de su logro científico: su antiguo paciente hipnotiza a los alemanes, sumiendo al país en una ceguera colectiva. A través de la vida del narrador, Weiss señala los factores que facilitaron el éxito del nacionalsocialismo en Alemania. Hermann Kesten afirmó que el verdadero protagonista de esta novela es el pueblo alemán, testigo ocular de su propia historia.
