«Das Klavier im Nebel» is the novel by Eginald Schlattner, published in 2005 by Paul Zsolnay Verlag in hardcover, with 520 pages and text in German.
In the postwar period, Clemens, son of a German manufacturer from Schäßburg (Sighișoara), in Transylvania, loses everything after the expropriations: his father is in prison and his mother has disappeared. While working in a porcelain factory and attending night school, he meets Rodica, a young Romanian woman, and the love between them defies the social and ethnic barriers of their community.
Published in 2005, it bears the subtitle «Roman» and was nominated for the Angelus Prize in 2010; the action takes place around 1950 in Transylvania.
For those seeking novels with a historical backdrop focused on postwar Eastern Europe and identity conflicts.
