Thomas Bernhard

Amras Thomas Bernhard

Two novellas of Thomas Bernhard, one of the masters of contemporary European fiction. [Amras], one of his earliest works, tells the story of two brothers who have survived a family suicide pact and are now living in a ruined tower, struggling with madness, trying either to come fully back to life or finally to die. [Walking] records the conversations of the narrator and his friend Oehler while they walk, discussing anything that comes to mind but always circling back to their mutual friend Karrer, who has gone irrevocably mad.
