DESCRIPTION - The author of the widely acclaimed novel JACOB THE LIAR here tells the singularly moving story of a man pitted against state and fate. A schoolteacher in the East German Democratic Republic thinks he has had a heart attack. This jolts him into a heightened awareness of his public and private life, with the result that his fears generate courage. His conscience as a teacher has long been uneasy: he knows himself to be a tool of state propaganda, used to mold the minds of his trusting pupils to acceptance of an oppressive, deceitful society Simultaneously he recognizes the failure of his marriage, which has become routine relationship drained of vitality. As he tries to resolve these conflicts in order to become a human being acceptable to himself, the pressures of convention, in his case reinforced by a system completely intolerant of 'deviation.' bear down on him. The solution he finds is of deep irony, given that the society he has to adjust to claims to be 'workers' republic.' The novel, however is by no means a political tract. It is story of crisis that is part of the universal human experience, only sharpener here by the extremity of circumstance. inventory #1253 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Tears Marks at the Top Front Corner.…
