hardcover. Etat : Very Good in Dustjacket. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. New York. 1978. Farrar Straus Giroux. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0374184976. Translated from the German by Ralph Manheim. 89 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Fred Marcellino. keywords: Europe Austria Literature Translated World Literature. DESCRIPTION - In his new novel, THE LEFT-HANDED WOMAN, which first appeared in its entirety in The New Yorker, Handke explores with power and vision the world of a woman alone. One evening, when Marianne and her husband, Bruno, are dining out together to celebrate his return from a business trip, Marianne listens to him speak and realizes suddenly yet finally that Bruno will leave her. Whether at that moment, or in years to come, she will be deserted. And instinctively Marianne knows she must fend for herself and her young son now, before that time comes. She sends Bruno away and settles down to a life alone, at first experiencing moments of panic, restlessly wandering in rooms grown stifling. The stillness of the house wears her down, and she starts taking long walks, or visiting with her close friend, Franziska. Gradually, what began as a selfish escape from the prospects of the future becomes in fact liberation. The environment she'd always hated - a no man's land of identical houses, with all curtains drawn - recedes; her relationships with those dear to her become less threatening, less necessary; and Marianne finds a new pattern for her life and the strength to go on alone. John Updike, in his New Yorker review of Peter Handke's earlier book A Moment of True Feeling, wrote: 'Handke is widely regarded as the best young writer, and by many as the best writer altogether, in his language; and there is no denying his willful intensity and knifelike clarity of evocation. He writes from an area beyond psychology, where feelings acquire the adamancy of randomly encountered, geologically analyzed pebbles. At his best, Handke is a kind of nature poet, a romantic whose exacerbated nerves cling like pained ivy to the landscape.' inventory #24571. N° de réf. du vendeur z24571

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1978. First U.S. edition. First printing. Hardbound. Fine in a fine dust jacket. A clean, tight copy. Publisher's price intact on front jacket flap ($7.95). Comes with archival-quality mylar jacket protector. Octavo, 87 pages. Originally published in German as "Die linkshändige Frau" (1976), this is Handke's fourth novel, translated by Ralph Manheim. It follows Marianne, a young mother in West Germany, who abruptly asks her husband to leave and begins a solitary, introspective life. A meditation on alienation and selfhood, the novel was adapted by Handke himself into a 1978 film that premiered at Cannes. Handke was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2019.
