Chi è Josef? Un padre, quello di Monika, un marito, quello di Grete, un figlio, quello illegittimo di un contadino del Lungau. Josef, il soldato con la gamba amputata, il direttore della casa vacanze per reduci di guerra, il misterioso asceta rinchiuso in un convento per curare il suo dolore. Monika Helfer ci porta attraverso la vita di questo padre assente, amante della letteratura e dei lunghi silenzi, con una narrazione delicata, quasi onirica scevra dell'eccessivo sentimentalismo che spesso ricopre i ricordi. Ripercorriamo così anche l'infanzia dell'autrice sullo Tschengla, la casa sovraffollata in cui si trova a vivere suo malgrado con le sorelle, la sua vita da adulta e scrittrice. Josef è un resoconto esistenziale che rimane impresso nella memoria con la sua eco dolorosa ed è anche il ritratto di un’intera generazione, quella del dopoguerra, che poco ha raccontato ai propri figli.

From Monika Helfer’s award-winning, internationally bestselling wartime trilogy, based on her own family. Translated into English for the first time.\n\n‘We called him Vati, Dad. Not Father, not Papa. That’s what he wanted. He thought it sounded modern. He wanted to present himself to us, and through us, as a man in tune with the modern age. Though he seemed to come from nowhere.’\n\nJosef was an illegitimate child, a charity case from Salzburg, schooled by a benefactor. He was drafted to fight in the Second World War while still at school and sent to Russia, returning with only one leg. He married his nurse, and brought his family to the high, idyllic slopes of the Austrian Alps, where he took a position as manager of a home for injured soldiers, a strangely suspended, deeply isolated place with a remarkable library.\n\nHe was a man of many mysteries. To his daughter, Monika, none was greater than his obsession with these cloistered, crumbling books, his great treasure and secret amidst a country barrelling away from the memory of war.\n\nBeautifully written, restrained, and memorable, Library for the War-Wounded turns a real life into great literature by confronting the universal question: Who are our parents, really?
