Only recently available for the first time in English,
"Panorama" is the newly rediscovered first novel of H. G. Adler, a
modernist master whose work has been compared to that of Kafka,
Joyce, and Solzhenitsyn. A brilliant epic told in ten distinct
vignettes, "Panorama" is a portrait of a place and people soon to
be destroyed, as seen through the eyes of the young Josef Kramer.
It moves from the pastoral World War I-era Bohemia of Josef's
youth, to a German boarding school full of creeping prejudice,
through an infamous extermination camp, and finally to Josef's
self-imposed exile abroad, achieving veracity and power through a
stream-of-consciousness style reminiscent of our greatest modern
masters. The author of six novels as well as the monumental account
of his experiences in a Nazi labor camp, "Theresienstadt 1941-1945,
" H. G. Adler is an essential author with unique historical
importance. "Panorama" is lasting evidence of both the torment of
his life and the triumph of his gifts.
