Über diesen Titel

On vacation with his girlfriend, Ingeborg, the German war games champion Udo Berger returns to a small town on the Costa Brava where he spent the summers of his childhood. Soon they meet another vacationing German couple, Charly and Hanna, who introduce them to a band of locals—the Wolf, the Lamb, and El Quemado—and to the darker side of life in a resort town.

Late one night, Charly disappears without a trace, and Udo's well-ordered life is thrown into upheaval; while Ingeborg and Hanna return to their lives in Germany, he refuses to leave the hotel. Soon he and El Quemado are enmeshed in a round of Third Reich, Udo's favorite World War II strategy game, and Udo discovers that the game's consequences may be all too real.

Written in 1989 and found among Roberto Bolaño's papers after his death, The Third Reich is a stunning exploration of memory and violence. Reading this quick, visceral novel, we see a world-class writer coming into his own—and exploring for the first time the themes that would define his masterpieces The Savage Detectives and 2666.

Kritikerstimmen

<p>“As a sharply observed chronicle of a man out of place in his own life and mind, it has a timelessness reminiscent of the best work of Christopher Isherwood. And that's nicely enhanced by Vance's cool, British-toned reading.” —<i>The Providence Sunday Journal</i><br><br>“Novelists tend to be remembered for their most remarkable characters, and in Udo Berger, Bolaño has created someone complex, sometimes frustrating and absolutely unforgettable . . . Compassionate, disturbing and deeply felt, [<i>The Third Reich </i>is] as much of a gift as anything the late author has given us.” —<i>Michael Schaub, NPR</i><br><br>“Bolaño was a writer with tricks up his sleeve, and he distributed his wiles across many genres: novellas, poetry, short stories, essays and the epic 1,100-page <i>2666</i>. So what's <i>The Third Reich</i> like? Capering, weird, rascally and short. Imagine a cross between Thomas Mann's <i>Death in Venice</i>, the CLUE board game and a wargames fanzine. It's a scathing novel with a lot of exuberance to it, not unlike the man who wrote it . . . <i>The Third Reich</i> is giddily funny, but it is also prickly and bizarre enough to count among Bolaño's first-rate efforts.” —<i>The Economist</i><br><br>“[Bolaño] makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world.” —<i>Ben Richards, The Guardian on Roberto Bolaño</i><br><br>“When I read Bolaño I think: Everything is possible again.” —<i>Nicole Krauss on Roberto Bolaño</i><br><br>“Not since Gabriel García Márquez . . . has a Latin American redrawn the map of world literature so emphatically as Roberto Bolaño does . . . It's no exaggeration to call him a genius.” —<i>Ilan Stavans, The Washington Post Book World on Roberto Bolaño</i><br><br>“[Bolaño's] work . . . is as vital, thrilling and life-enhancing as anything in modern fiction.” —<i>Christopher Goodwin, The Sunday Times (London) on Roberto Bolaño</i><br><br>“Novelists have been smashing high and low together for a century, but Bolaño does it with the force of a supercollider.” —<i>Daniel Zalewski, The New Yorker on Roberto Bolaño</i><br><br>“[Bolaño] has the natural storyteller's gift--but more important, he has the power to lend an extraordinary glamour to the activities of making love and making poetry.” —<i>Edmund White on Roberto Bolaño</i><br><br>“A successor to Borges, García Márquez, and Julio Cortázar.” —<i>Siddhartha Deb, Harper's Magazine on Roberto Bolaño</i><br><br>“The most influential and admired novelist of his generation.” —<i>Susan Sontag on Roberto Bolaño</i></p>

A very atmospheric book. A group of random persons meet in a deserted holiday resort. They start playing a war game. Old relationships break down, new relationships are formed. Echoes of World War II. A very readable book. Original. Different.

Very interesting story
