Absence e-bog

A "e;challenging and rewarding novel"e;* from Nobel Prize-winning author Peter Handke.The time is an unspecified modernity, the place possibly Europe. Absence follows four nameless people -- the old man, the woman, the soldier, and the gambler -- as they journey to a desolate wasteland beyond the limits of an unnamed city."e;In this smoothly written fable, Handke forcefully summons readers to the recognition that the essence of human life lies in the striving for self-expression even though its perfect realization must always remain elusive."e;-*Publishers Weekly"e;A remarkably abstract book even for the very abstract Handke... Slippery but engrossing work, silkily translated."e; - Kirkus Reviews
