«Muerte en Roma» is the novel by Wolfgang Koeppen, published by RBA Libros in hardcover (208 pages, in Spanish).
After World War II, a group of people converge in Rome, where the Nazi past comes to light and intertwines with the present. Victims, executioners and heirs of that horror carry the guilt, the memory and the difficulty of forgetting in a city marked by history. Koeppen adopts an ironic and moralistic gaze to portray characters trapped between condemnation and self-complacency.
This title closes Koeppen's trilogy known as the Failure Trilogy, formed by «Palomas en la hierba» (1951), «El invernadero» (1952) and «Muerte en Roma» (1954).
For readers of post-war German narrative and twentieth-century European literary fiction.
Wolfgang Arthur Reinhold Koeppen was a German novelist and one of the best known German authors of the postwar period.
