Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Woodcutters

This controversial portrayal of Viennese artistic circles begins as the writer-narrator arrives at an 'artistic dinner' given by a composer and his society wife—a couple that the writer once admired but has now come to loathe. The guest of honor, an actor from the Burgtheater, is late. As the other guests wait impatiently, they are seen through the critical eye of the narrator, who begins a silent but frenzied, sometimes maniacal, and often ambivalent tirade against these former friends, most of whom were brought together by the woman whom they had buried that day. Reflections on Joana's life and suicide are mixed with these denunciations until the famous actor arrives, bringing a culmination to the evening for which the narrator had not even thought to hope. "Mr. Bernhard's portrait of a society in dissolution has a Scandinavian darkness reminiscent of Ibsen and Strindberg, but it is filtered through with a minimalist prose. . . . Woodcutters offers an unusually strange, intense, engrossing literary experience."—Mark Anderson, New York Times Book Review "Musical, dramatic and set in Vienna, Woodcutters. . . .resembles a Strauss operetta with a libretto by Beckett."—Joseph Costes, Chicago Tribune "Thomas Bernhard, the great pessimist-rhapsodist of German literature . . . never compromises, never makes peace with life. . . . Only in the pure, fierce isolation of his art can he get justice."—Michael Feingold, Village Voice "In typical Bernhardian fashion the narrator is moved by hatred and affection for a society that he believes destroys the very artistic genius it purports to glorify. A superb translation."—Library Journal

Evaluation Containing Books Woodcutters

Brilliant, bilious, hilarious, unsettling, a breathlessly intense, sustained novelistic experience that leaves you smiling and strained on the outside, nicked and nourished beneath the skin. By this point in his literary output Thomas Bernhard was a master craftsman, and the narrative voice he conjures for the unnamedbut immensely Bernhardianwriter whose interiority serves as the driving force of this little human engine that couldn't ranks among his very best. Personally, and has always proven

The book is excellently readable, and in my opinion this makes it a very good entry for people who have not read Bernhard yet. But it contains everything that makes the books of Bernhard so readable: repetitions, cynicism, polemics and yet a certain sense of humor.

The artistic life. The artistic world.Writing feels fake to me. Not other people's writing. I mean that me writing doesn't feel natural to me. The more articulate I try to be the worse it gets. This "You're such a fake" voice and a rising of stupidity blush on the back of my neck (my ears get it the worst, in the end). I do it anyway. I like thinking about stuff. I pretty much have to have it or I'll feel even more doldrums and pointless circles than ever. It's the trying to say it all together

In a big, old chair at a late night dinner party, the main character sits and rages silently over his hosts, their art snobbery and the general state of the culture scene in Vienna. Half hidden behind a door, he observes the other guests and reminisce on events from the past. He regrets accepting the invitation to this "late night artistic dinner" with old acquaintances he obviously loathes. My Norwegian translation has a subtitle that can be translated as "An agitation", which is very fitting.

Çok az anlatıcının beyninin taaa en dibine kadar girebilirim. Bazen dışarda kalmak daha doğru geldiği için, bazen kafamı çok yormak istemediğim, mesafeyi tercih ettiğim için, bazen istesem de beceremediğim için. O berjerde kaçıncı sayfadan itibaren, ben oturmaya başladım emin değilim, iyi ki oturmuşum, feci tavsiye ederim.

Novel "Woodcutters" takes place during one evening through so-called artistic dinner given by a couple of narrators former friends. A pretext for the dinner is a visit of known actor, but the real reason is a suicidal death of their mutual friend, unfulfilled artist Joana. And that way a celebration for the actor transforms into a funeral reception. What would come of it? Nothing good except a gripping writing.Narrator, an uncompromising observer hidden in the shadow, sitting in the wing chair

Δύστροπο έργο αλλά πραγματικά αποκαλυπτικό για την τάση των ανθρώπων να εμπνέονται και να ενθουσιαζονται εύκολα στην νεανική ηλικία τους με ανθρώπους, τάσεις και ιδέες, για να καταλήγουν κάποια στιγμή να μισούν και να αποστρεφονται όλα όσα "αψικορα και ευκολοχορταστα" τους θάμπωσαν στα νιάτα τους. Με φόντο την Βιέννη (μια πόλη που έχω επισκεφτεί δις κ λατρεύω, "Αυστριακός" γαρ) και τον καλλιτεχνικό κύκλο του θεάτρου και της τέχνης, η κακία του συγγραφέα προς την πόλη και τις συνήθειες των
