Product Description

Die Presse
'We are reminded of Kafka: dreamlike conversations, introspection of a disturbed soul, an orgy of a nervous breakdown. Married Life is a masterpiece, a find.'

Publishers Weekly
'This is an important novel, not only as the historic document that it is, but as a work of literature that echoes both Kafka and Mann.'

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best! A privileged glimpse of a grim destiny., 7 Mar 2000
By A Customer
"In the passage the tap woke up with a roar." - I was hooked on this marvellous book from the first sentence. The Vienna of the 1920's, with its social decay, is the setting for this humiliating relationship between a poor Jewish intellectual and an Austrian baroness, also Jewish. Of particular note (to me) is their lack of religious observance, demonstrating how both the Austrian and the German Jews had thought themselves to be assimilated and, mistakenly, assumed themselves to be Austrians, or Germans, to whom, however, they were just 'Jews'. We are exposed to many interesting and disturbing characters and poignant and heart-rending sketches, portraying both the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. The deterioration of the marriage of the protagonist and his wife is disturbing and the degradation to which he is subjected could be seen to be a prediction of what is to come in the next decade in Vienna and war-torn Europe. This is not a book to be missed - I could hardly bear to put it down!

It is sad to note that the author himself, a Jew, David Vogel, was first detained by the French as an Austrian enemy alien, until France was occupied; he was later deported to a concentration camp in 1944 where it was assumed that he died.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Married Life (Hardcover)
I wrote a review for this marvellous book, found buried after the Shoah. Where is it? Perhaps you have it under another e-mail address, my old one.
