[ED: Hardcover/gebunden], [PU: Counterpoint], Schopenhauer's Telescope by Gerard Donovan is a haunting and thought-provoking novel that explores the nature of violence, the fragility of human existence, and the power of the human spirit. Set in an unnamed 20th-century European town, the story unfolds over the course of a single afternoon as two men, a baker and a history teacher, engage in a profound conversation while digging a mass grave. The baker, a simple man of routine and order, is compelled to dig the grave under the watchful eye of the history teacher, a man who has contemplated the horrors of war and genocide. As the hole deepens, their conversation becomes increasingly philosophical, touching on themes of history, philosophy, and the human condition. Positive Review Schopenhauer's Telescope is a powerful and disturbing novel that has been praised for its exploration of violence, the fragility of human life, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Donovan's writing is both lyrical and disturbing, and he creates a vivid portrait of the brutality of war and the resilience of the human spirit. The baker and the history teacher are both complex and compelling characters, and their relationship is the heart of the story. Their dialogue is both thought-provoking and deeply moving, and it forces readers to confront the darkest aspects of human nature. The novel has been praised for its exploration of themes of violence, war, genocide, history, philosophy, free will, and the human spirit. It is a story that will stay with readers long after they finish reading it. Conclusion Schopenhauer's Telescope is a must-read for anyone who wants to engage with a challenging and thought-provoking novel. Donovan's masterful storytelling and insightful portrayal of the human experience will stay with readers long after they finish the book. ***** Wir sind das www! ---> Wenn sie wirklich BESSERES wollen!

[ED: Hardcover/gebunden], [PU: Counterpoint], In an unnamed European village, in the middle of a civil war, one man digs while another watches over him. Slowly, they begin to talk. Over the course of the afternoon, as snow falls and truckloads of villagers are corralled in the next field, we discover why they are there-not just who they are but also how sinister events in the country have led them to be separated by a deepening grave, and why the history of civilization is inseparable from the history of mass violence. Beautifully written, with a poet's eye for detail coupled with a chilling and compelling narrative drive, Schopenhauer's Telescope is current in the best sense--no thin allegory of Bosnia or Kosovo but a remarkable attempt to make art out of the brutality of life. ***** Wir sind das www! ---> Wenn sie wirklich BESSERES wollen!
