The coming of peace (A family catastrophe)

Gerhart Hauptmann

Sinopsis

In "The Coming of Peace (A Family Catastrophe)," Gerhart Hauptmann intricately weaves a narrative that explores the psychological and emotional repercussions of war on familial bonds. Set against the backdrop of post-World War I Germany, the novel employs a naturalistic literary style, characterized by its attention to detail and a deep focus on character development. Hauptmann's prose reflects the chaos and disillusionment of the era, as it chronicles the fallout from a family's fracture, revealing how external societal upheavals interface with intimate personal crises. Themes of reconciliation, loss, and the yearning for peace resonate throughout, emphasizing the fragility of human connections in tumultuous times. Gerhart Hauptmann, a Nobel laureate and a pivotal figure in German literature, was deeply influenced by the socio-political climate of his time, including his experiences in the Pan-European cultural milieu and the impact of industrialization. His engagement with existential themes, as well as his rich understanding of human psychology, culminate in this poignant work. "The Coming of Peace" not only reflects Kern's personal convictions but also serves as a commentary on the broader human condition, forever scarred by conflict. For readers grappling with the complexities of family dynamics and the enduring scars of war, Hauptmann's novel is a compelling read that encourages reflection on our shared humanity. "The Coming of Peace" invites contemplation on the paths to healing and understanding within the human experience, making it an essential addition to the shelves of those interested in psychological fiction and historical discourse.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.
