Description: Narratives of Loving Resistance by Erich Hackl, Edward T. Larkin Contains two stories - "Love at First Sight: A Recollection" and "History of a Promise" - portraying the inspiring lives of those who have suffered the terror and injustice of twentieth-century fascism. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The two stories contained in this edition -- Love at First Sight: A Recollection and History of a Promise -- reveal Erich Hackls unique and luminous perspective on the relationship between historical reality and literary representation. Drawing on historical documents and authentic individuals, Hackl portrays the inspiring lives of those who have suffered the terror and injustice of twentieth-century fascism. Recovering from a wound sustained as a result of his involvement with the International Brigade in the Spanish Civil War, the Austrian Karl Sequens falls in love with Herminia Roudiere Perpina, a strong and scrupulous Spanish woman who cared for him in the hospital. The story of their brief but enduring love both for each other and for social justice is narrated through the memory of their daughter Rosa Maria in Love at First Sight: A Recollection. In his touching portrait of the fate of these non-fictional individuals, Erich Hackl illuminates an alternate perspective on Austrias position in the frenzied social and political configurations that mark Europe from the 1920s to the 1990s.In "History of a Promise," the mind of the septuagenarian protagonist Willi retraces a path from his poverty in the Vienna of the First Republic through his internment in the concentration camps to his entrepreneurial success in his chosen South American exile as he reveals for the first time a promise that he had made. Author Biography Born in Steyr in 1954, Erich Hackl is one of Austrias most significant and prolific contemporary writers. Known primarily for his well-received, book-length narratives (docu-literature), whose heroes are reminiscent of the authentic individuals of Latin American testimonial literature, he affirms the social-democratic orientation of his principal characters as well as the importance of the power of narration to resist oppression and engender trust.
