Krátky popis
From Monika Helfer s award-winning, internationally bestselling
wartime trilogy, based on her own family. Translated into English
for the first time.&,nbsp,We called him Vati, Dad. Not Father,
not Papa.That s what he wanted. He thought it sounded modern. He
wanted to present himself to us, and through us, as a man in tune
with the modern age.Though he seemed to come from nowhere. Josef
was an illegitimate child, a charity case from Salzburg, schooled
by a benefactor. He was drafted to fight in the Second World War
while still at school and sent to Russia, returning with only one
leg.He married his nurse, and brought his family to the high,
idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as
manager of a home for injured soldiers, a strangely suspended,
deeply isolated place with a remarkable library. He was a man of
many mysteries. To his daughter, Monika, none was greater than his
obsession with these cloistered, crumbling books, his great
treasure and secret amidst a country barrelling away from the
memory of war.Beautifully written, restrained, and memorable,
Library for the War-Wounded turns a real life into great literature
by confronting the universal question: Who are our parents, really?
