«Sin destino» is the novel by Imre Kertész, published by Acantilado in paperback (264 pages, in Spanish).
A Hungarian teenager recounts his year and a half in several Nazi concentration camps. Based on the author's experiences, it is not an autobiography: with objective coldness and ironic distance, the novel shows how arbitrariness is confused with justice and the inhuman becomes an aberrant form of happiness.
Originally published in Hungarian in 1975 as «Sorstalanság», this Spanish edition is translated by Judith Xantus and is part of the Acantilado Bolsillo collection (no. 2).
For readers of contemporary and historical fiction, interested in Hungarian literature and the work of Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertész.
Imre Kertész was a Hungarian author and recipient of the 2002 Nobel Prize in Literature, "for writing that upholds the fragile experience of the individual against the barbaric arbitrariness of history". He was the first Hungarian to win the Nobel in Literature. His works deal with themes of the Holocaust, dictatorship, and personal freedom.
