«Yo, otro» is an essay by Imre Kertész, published by Acantilado in paperback (144 pages, in Spanish).
Imre Kertész, a survivor of Auschwitz who lived through Stalinism and Kádárism in Hungary, investigates whether the self remains fixed or changes over time. On a journey through European cities, he traces an earlier, lost self and, with the help of great Western authors and philosophers, examines identity from the Second World War to the present.
Its original title is «Valaki más: a változás krónikája». It is volume 22 of the Acantilado Bolsillo collection, translated from the Hungarian by Adan Kovacsics Meszaros.
It is a work for essay readers interested in the memory of the twentieth century and in the work of Nobel Prize in Literature 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.
