Only recently available for the first time in English, Panorama is the newly rediscovered first novel of H. G. Adler, a modernist master whose work has been compared to that of Kafka, Joyce, and Solzhenitsyn. A brilliant epic told in ten distinct vignettes, Panorama is a portrait of a place and people soon to be destroyed, as seen through the eyes of the young Josef Kramer. It moves from the pastoral World War I–era Bohemia of Josef’s youth, to a German boarding school full of creeping prejudice, through an infamous extermination camp, and finally to Josef’s self-imposed exile abroad, achieving veracity and power through a stream-of-consciousness style reminiscent of our greatest modern masters. The author of six novels as well as the monumental account of his experiences in a Nazi labor camp, Theresienstadt 1941–1945, H. G. Adler is an essential author with unique historical importance. Panorama is lasting evidence of both the torment of his life and the triumph of his gifts.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. When Random House published the first English translation of H. G. Adler's The Journey in 2008, literary critics and historians alike came to recognize Adler--one of only a handful of death camp survivors to write fiction based on his experiences in German--as a neglected modern master, comparing him to Joyce, Kafka, and Gertrude Stein. Told in a powerful stream-of-consciousness style reminiscent of our finest modernist writers, Panorama is the story of young Josef Kramer's journey from pastoral World War I-era Bohemia to a German boarding school full of creeping prejudice, to a labor camp, infamous extermination camp, and finally to exile abroad after the war. Conveying historical and emotional truths as only fiction can, Adler's 1948 masterpiece is lasting evidence of both the torment of his life and the triumph of his gifts.Only recently available for the first time in English, Panorama is the newly rediscovered first novel of H.
