Ungdom utan Gud

AvÖdön von Horváth

Häftad, Svenska, 2021

282 kr

Skickas

Skriven i exil år 1937 är Ungdom utan Gud en mörk och expressivt berättad skildring av vardagen i ett nazistyrt Tyskland.

Romanen utgörs av en motsträvig skollärares bekymrade tankar om samhällets förråade anda och hans elevers gradvisa förvandling till hörsamma rekryter till kallhamrade cyniker.

Frågan är dock om någon kan förbli utan skuld när människan oavbrutet utsätts för inre anspänningar och yttre tryck från diktaturens terror, och samhällsmedborgarna reduceras till antingen ängsligt eftergivna undersåtar, skräckslagna offer eller samvetslösa gärningsmän.

Ungdom utan Gud är en bok om tidlösa frågor som skuld, öde, tro och individens civilkurage.

Romanen kom att bli Ödön von Horváths sista roman under hans livstid. För översättningen står Gustav Sjöberg, och litteraturkritikern Martin Lagerholm presenterar i ett initierat efterord Ödön von Horváths liv och verk.

In Sladek, Black's version being the first to be published in English, we see how social conditions lead people to desperate action and violence, opening the road for dictators and fascists. Written just as the Nazis came to power, A Sexual Congress predicts with frightening accuracy the cycle of violence that was to spread throughout Europe.

"Includes the plays Italian Night and Tales from the Vienna Woods Written in 1930s Europe, these plays describe the decay of a society haunted by inflation and succumbing to a rising tide of fascism. In Hampton's translation of Tales from the Vienna Woods (staged at the RNT in 1977) von Horvath portrays, with compassion and impartiality, the interplay between individual selfishness and the pressures of a society in crisis. Italian Night, in this new translation by Meredith Oakes, has a group of friends deciding to hold a republican 'Italian Night', only to discover the fascists have chosen the same day for a German Day parade."
