Disorder
Thomas Bernhard
Alfaguara ISBN 9788420407470
Submerged in the stifling atmosphere of a closed valley, a doctor and his son visit their people discovering their diseases, not just physical but also the moral and social as well as its marked isolation.
The haunting tour culminates in the cold Hochgobertnitz Castle, where Prince Saurau, a decadent noble and pathetic but undeniably brilliant, it is so near to total wisdom as the final madness. To get there, highlight of the novel character, Bernhard presents a fictional world which is also the metaphor of "a population basically sick, prone to violence and madness."
Thomas Bernhard was born in Heerlen (Netherlands) on February 9, 1931 and died in Gmunden (Austria) in 1989, following a long illness which had been tormenting him since adolescence. Just cause yet another scandal in his country after the premiere, in November 1988, of opera Heldenplatz (Heroes' Square). Extremely lucid and critical of Austria's history, all the work of Bernhard is marked by controversy. Persona non grata for the Austrian official bodies, the strength and quality of his writings have come to become one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. In his poems and novels mercilessly analyzed Bernhard the human condition with issues like death, disease, destruction, madness and despair that plague man. Some of his most important novels are "Frost" (1964), "Disorder" (1967), "Correction" (1975), "Concrete" (1982), "The late" (1983), "old masters" ( 1985) and "Extinction" (1986).
