Beschreibung
One of Elena Ferrante's Top 40 Best Books by Women
Erika Kohut teaches piano at the Vienna Conservatory by day. By night she trawls the city's porn shows while her mother, whom she loves and hates in equal measure, waits up for her. Into this emotional pressure-cooker bounds music student and ladies' man Walter Klemmer.
With Walter as her student, Erika spirals out of control, consumed by the ecstasy of self-destruction. A haunting tale of morbid voyeurism and masochism, The Piano Teacher, first published in 1983, is Elfreide Jelinek's Masterpiece.
Jelinek was awarded the Nobel Prize For Literature in 2004 for her 'musical flow of voices and counter-voices in novels and plays that, with extraordinary linguistic zeal, reveal the absurdity of society's clichés and their subjugating power.
The Piano Teacher was adapted into an internationally successful film by Michael Haneke, which won three major prizes at Cannes, including the Grand Prize and Best Actress for Isabelle Huppert.
Rezensionen
A startling novel... eloquent, intelligent and deeply unsettling; the polar opposite of pornography.
A dazzling performance that will make the blood run cold <i></i>
Heavily symbolic and bleakly realistic, <i>The Piano Teacher</i> turns its female heroine, Erika Kobut, into an extended metaphor for a doomed society... Passionately political under its dense mantle of sexual imagery, the novel shares the dark world view long common to Eastern European literature and now increasingly evident in books from ostensibly more fortunate countries, insistently calling our attention to the discrepancy between the Vienna of our fantasies and the one in which Jelinek lives
Some may find Ms Jelinek'
Terrifyingly powerful
Jelinek'
A brilliant, deadly book
There are some horrifically crazed laughs to be had at the antics of mother and daughter trapped in their domestic hell
As a portrait of repressed female sexuality and a damaged psyche, <i>The Piano Teacher </i>glitters dangerously
A brilliant, bitter, wonderful portrait of mother and daughter, artist and lover
Jelinek'
<i>The Piano Teacher</i> is an astounding book
In this demented love story the hunter is the hunted, pain is pleasure, and spite and self-contempt seep from every pore.
