An Answer from the Silence (Seagull German Library): A Story from the Mountains (Swiss List) Book Information:

esteemed Swiss writer Max frisch is an exploration of the question: why dont we live when we know we're here just this one time, just one single, unrepeatable time in this unutterably magnificent world?! This outcry against the emptiness of ordinary everyday life uttered by the hero of frischs book is countered by an answer from the silence he meets when face-to-face with death. When an answer from the silence begins, the protagonist has just turned thirty and is engaged to be married and about to start work as a teacher. Frightened by the idea of settling down, he journeys to the Alps in a do-or-die effort to climb the unclimbed North Ridge, and by doing so prove he is not ordinary. But having reached the top he returns not in triumph, but in frostbitten shock, having come dangerously close to death. This highly personal early novel reflects a crisis in frischs own life, and perhaps because of this intimate connection, he refused to allow it to be included in his collected works in the 1970s. Now available in English, This distinctive book will thrill fans of frischs other works.
