Description

To discover: a forgotten masterpiece, a modern odyssey, a grandiose sea epic The landscapes around the Strait of Messina form the bridge between the myths of antiquity and the present. Here, between Skylla and Charybdis, Odysseus heard the singing of the sirens. In exactly this place, his home, the hero of Stefano D'Arrigo's masterpiece ›Horcynus Orca‹, the last great undiscovered novel of modernity that can only be compared to Joyce, Kafka, Musil, Proust. D'Arrigo banishes this whole world in just four days: a sailor returning in 1943 after the collapse of the Navy learns what the war made of its people. A mysterious woman helps the fisherman without a boat across the strait, but he must learn that any homecoming is in vain if death leads the rudder. Forty years after its appearance, Moshe Kahn has succeeded in transferring the long considered untranslatable novel into another language for the first time. He had made it his life task to find a German equivalent for Sicilian Italian with its image-rich and metaphor-rich dialects and earthy phonemes, which makes the great throw of the novel, its linguistic finesse and its wide allusions come alive. A brilliant deed.
