«Antichi maestri» is the novel by Thomas Bernhard, published by Adelphi in paperback (208 pages, in Italian).
Reger, an art critic, goes to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna every two days and sits on the same bench in front of Tintoretto's painting «El hombre de la barba blanca». His monologues and conversations with a museum guard are a reflection on art, the great masters and Austrian society, between lucidity, despair and lost love.
The work originally appeared in 1985; this edition is from 1992 (5th edition) and belongs to the Fabula collection, volume 65.
For readers of literary and contemporary fiction interested in art and social criticism.
Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard was an Austrian novelist, playwright, poet and polemicist who is considered one of the most important German-language authors of the postwar era. He explored themes of death, isolation, obsession and illness in controversial literature that was pessimistic about the human condition and highly critical of post-war Austrian and European culture. He developed a distinctive prose style often featuring multiple perspectives on characters and events, idiosyncratic vocabulary and punctuation, and long monologues by protagonists on the verge of insanity.
