商品簡介
'Absolutely, definitively alone', a young Jewish student in Romania tries to make sense of a world that decides he doesn't belong. He searches for truth and understanding, spending days walking the streets and nights drinking and gambling, meeting revolutionaries, zealots, lovers and libertines. But as the threats and shouts he experiences daily start to harden into something even worse, he must accustom his eyes to the darkness that falls over Europe. This searing rediscovered 1934 masterpiece is an emotionally gripping and profoundly moving novel about broken layers of memory, the forces of history and what it means to be an outsider.
