Death of a Man – A Novel: Revived Modern Classic

Autor K. Boyle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mai 1989
When Death of a Man was first published in 1936, the anonymous reviewer in Time described the novel as a Nazi idyll. Nothing could be further from the truth. Boyle, who lived in the town of Kitzbhel in the Tirolean Alps during the mid 30s, recalls that In 1934, mothers, fathers, children--all barefoot--stood in the ankle-deep snow on the sidewalks of Vienna, their hands out-stretched for help .... Nazism as to them mutely accepted as the one hope for the economy. The subtlety and precision honed by Boyle in her acclaimed short stories are used in Death of a Man to describe the tragedy of a society pushed to the edge by circumstance but as yet unaware of the dangers, the incipient evil, of the course it is choosing. In this setting, the passionate relationship between the appealing and vigorous but pro-Nazi Dr. Prochaska and the pampered, neurotic American young woman Pendennis, is a paradigm of the difficulty of individual love in a disordered world.
