The first of Nobel Prize winner Peter Handkes novels to be published in English, The Goalies Anxiety at the Penalty Kick is a true modern classic that "portrays theabreakdown of a murderer in ways that recall Camuss The Stranger" (The New York Times). The self-destruction of a soccer goalie turned construction worker who wanders aimlessly around a stifling Austrian border town after pursuing and then murdering, almost unthinkingly, a female movie cashier is mirrored by Handkes use of direct, sometimes fractured prose that conveys "at its best a seamless blend of lyricism and horror seen in the runes of a disintegrating world" (Boston Sunday Globe).

Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke offers a wry and entertaining take on historys most famous seducer as he takes a respite from his stressful existenceDon Juans storya"his own version"ais filtered through the consciousness of an anonymous narrator, a failed innkeeper and chef, into whose solitude Don Juan bursts one day. On each day of the week that follows, Don Juan describes the adventures he experienced on that same day a week earlier. The adventures are erotic, but Handkes Don Juan is more pursued than pursuer. What makes his accounts riveting are the remarkable evocations of places and people, and the nature of his narration. Don Juan: His Own Version is, above all, a book about storytelling and its ability to burst the ordinary boundaries of time and space. In this brief and wry volume, Peter Handke conjures images and depicts the subtleties of human interaction with an unforgettable vividness. Along the way, he offers a sharp commentary on many features of contemporary life.

He is searching for a young woman he calls the Fruit Thief, who, like him, has set off on a journey to the Vexin plateau. What follows is a vivid but dreamlike exploration of topography both physical and affective, charting the Fruit Thiefas perambulations across Franceas internal borderlands: alongside rivers and through ravines, beside highways and to a bolt-hole under the stairs of an empty hotel. Chance encountersawith a man scrambling through the underbrush in search of his lost cat, and with a delivery boy who abandons his scooter to become a fellow traveler for a dayaare like so many throws of the dice, each exposing new facets of this mysterious individual in the manner of a cubist portrait.In prose of unrivaled precision, lucidly rendered into English by Krishna Winston, The Fruit Thie

Als das Letzte Epos (mit groem L) hat Peter Handke seinen neuen Roman bezeichnet. Mit der Niederschrift begann er am 1. August 2016: Diese Geschichte hat begonnen seinerzeit an einem jener Mittsommertage, da man beim Barfugehen im Gras wie eh und je zum ersten Mal im Jahr von einer Biene gestochen wird. Dieser Stich wird, wie der Autor am 2. August festhalt, zum Zeichen. Ein gutes oder ein schlechtes? Weder als gutes noch als ein schlechtes, gar boses einfach als ein Zeichen. Der Stich jetzt gab das Zeichen, aufzubrechen. Zeit, da du dich auf den Weg machst. Rei dich los von Garten und Gegend. Fort mit dir. Die Stunde des Aufbruchs, sie ist gekommen. Die Reise fuhrt aus der Niemandsbucht, Umwegen folgend, sie suchend, in das Landesinnere, wo die Obstdiebin, einfache Fahrt, keine Ruckfahrt, bleiben wird, oder auch nicht? Am 30. November 2016, dem letzten Tag der Niederschrift des Epos, resumiert Peter Handke die ungeheuerlichen und bisher nie gekannten Gefahren auf ihrem Weg dorthin: Was sie doch in den drei Tagen ihrer Fahrt ins Landesinnere alles erlebt hatte: seltsam. Oder auch nicht? Nein, seltsam. Bleibend seltsam. Ewig seltsam.

Peter Handke, a giant of Austrian literature, has produced decades of fiction, poetry, and drama informed by some of the most tumultuous events in modern history. But even as these events shaped his work, the presence of his mothera woman whose life spanned the Weimar Republic, both world wars, and the postwar consumer economyloomed even larger.In Storm Still, Handkes most recent work, he returns to the land of his birth, the Austrian province of Carinthia. There on the Jaunfeld, the plain at the center of Austrias Slovenian settlement, the dead and the living of a family meet and talk. Composed as a series of monologues, Storm Still chronicles both the battle of the Slovene minority against Nazism and their love of the land. Presenting a panorama that extends back to the authors bitter roots in the region, Storm Still blends penetrating prose and poetic drama to explore Handkes personal history, taking up themes from his earlier books and revisiting some of their characters. In this book, the times of conflict and peace, war and prewar, and even the seasons themselves shift and overlap. And the fate of an orchard comes to stand for the fate of a people.

En las afueras de Salzburgo, separado de su mujer y de sus hijos, un profesor de lenguas muertas vive la vida muerta de la pura contemplación. Pero las cosas suceden, por mucho cuidado que se ponga en evitarlas: un dia, en plena calle, Andreas Loser tropieza con un viandante y lo hace caer al suelo. ¿Ha sido un acto intencionado? Si Loser -su voluntad consciente- ha intervenido en el orden del mundo, la consecuencia es clara: se esta fraguando una historia, y toda historia necesita un testigo. Este sera el propio hijo del profesor, para que le movimiento desnudo y logico de la vida se atenga a sus desenlaces necesarios. Peter Handke es ejemplo, resumen y maximo exponente de los rasgos mas caracteristicos y mejores de la actual literatura en lengua alemana. En El chino del dolor nos ofrece un despiadado analisis del proceso de formacion de la obra literaria, es decir: del modo en que se observa e inmortaliza la realidad del paisaje y sus figuras.
