| 总结: | The English-reading world owes a debt to Peter Filkins for making the work of H.G. Adler accessible through both his skilled literary translations of Adler’s novels and poetry, and now through this significant biography. Filkins’ research is prodigious, his knowledge of the Central European literary scene impressive. So too, his sojourns into the history of the Holocaust. He knows virtually all that can be known about Adler, and he has the intellectual depth, historical knowledge, philosophical acumen, and literary sensitivity to evaluate Adler’s life and work., H.G. Adler left Theresienstadt; Theresienstadt never left Adler. Adler bore witness in poetry and prose, in the dry statistics and smallest details life at that ghetto/concentration camp/transit camp. |
