Bücher von Claude Lanzmann

"Even if I lived a hundred lives, I still wouldn't be exhausted." These words capture the intensity of the experiences of Claude Lanzmann, a man whose acts have always been a negation of resignation: a member of the French Resistance at sixteen, a friend to Jean-Paul Sartre and a lover to Simone de Beauvoir, and the director of movies including one of the most important films in the history of cinema, Shoah.In these pages, Lanzmann composes a hymn to life that flows from memory yet has the rhythm of a novel, as tumultuous as it is energetic. The Patagonian Hare is the story of a man who has searched at every moment for existential adventure, who has committed himself deeply to what he believes in, and who has made his life a battle.The Patagonian Hare, a number-one bestseller in France, has been translated into Spanish, German, Italian, Hebrew, Polish, Dutch, and Portuguese. Filmmaker Claude Lanzmann's brilliant memoir has been widely acclaimed as a masterpiece, was hailed as "a true literary and historic event" in the pages of Le Monde, and was awarded the prestigious Welt-Literaturpreis in Germany.

Auch hundert Leben, sagt CLAUDE LANZMANN, Autor des epochemachenden Films SHOAH, hätten nicht ausgereicht, seine Neugier auf das Leben zu stillen. Seine Autobiographie, literarisches Meisterwerk, Bestseller und «Buch des Jahres» in Frankreich, ist vieles in einem: Erzählung eines überreichen Lebens, Bild jüdischer Geschichte, Traktat über Freiheit und Gewalt. Vor allem aber das furiose Dokument einer amour fou mit dem Leben.«Ein epochales MEISTERWERK!... Es beschwört das vergangene Jahrhundert mitunvergleichlicher suggestiver Kraft.»Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung«Voller Tiefsinn, Humor und Leidenschaft.»Der Spiegel
