From the winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 2009 'Just as the
father in the house in which we live is our father, so Comrade
Nicolae Ceausescu is the father of our country. And just as the
mother in the house in which we live is our mother, so Comrade
Elena Ceausescu is the mother of our country. Comrade Nicolae
Ceausescu is the father of our children. All the children love
comrade Nicolae and comrade Elena, because they are their parents.'
The Passport is a beautiful, haunting novel whose subject is a
German village in Romania caught between the stifling hopelessness
of Ceausescu's dictatorship and the glittering temptations of the
West. Stories from the past are woven together with the problems
Windisch, the village miller, faces after he applies for permission
to migrate to West Germany. Herta Muller describes with poetic
attention the dreams and superstitions, conflicts and oppression of
a forgotten region, the Banat, in the Danube Plain. In sparse,
lyrical language, Herta Muller captures the forlorn plight of a
trapped people. This edition is translated by Martin Chalmers, with
a new foreword by Paul Bailey. Also by Herta Muller: Nadirs, The
Land of Green Plums, The Appointment, and The Hunger Angel.
