The Life and Times of Michael K.
14.99 €
Hunger, suffering, and death reign all around. A small man, Michael K., looked down upon because of his harelip, carries his exhausted mother back to her homeland. She is too exhausted to endure the journey in a tin wheelbarrow—death comes for her right on the road, and Michael is left alone in an unjust world. Prison, torture, and a labor camp are just a small part of what he must face. But despite the chaos around him, Michael follows his own path to peace and freedom.

"The Life and Times of Michael K." is a stunning story about an entire era in which everyone is either a loser or a winner. A novel about loneliness, despair, and resilience.
