About the author

Gregor von Rezzori

40 books102 followers
Gregor von Rezzori was born in 1914 in Chernivtsi in the Bukovina, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now part of Ukraine. In an extraordinarily peripatetic life von Rezzori was succesively an Austro-Hungarian, Romanian and Soviet citizen and then, following a period of being stateless, an Austrian citizen.

The great theme of his work was the multi-ethnic, multi-lingual world in which he grew up and which the wars and ideologies of the twentieth century destroyed. His major works include The Death of My Brother Abel, Memoirs of an Anti-Semite and his autobiographical masterpiece The Snows of Yesteryear.

He died in his home in Donnini, Italy in 1998.

"Libero, per poter essere educato alle virtù dell'umanità: l'indipendenza dai pregiudizi, il coraggio di sé, ma soprattutto il coraggio di liberarsi di sé, di guardare dentro di sé, di riconoscere se stesso come parte di un grande gioco, e poi il piacere di assistere tranquillamente a questo stesso gioco, anche quando si fa duro, e di riderci su. Sì, riderci su serenamente, con confortante cinismo, e in questo riso liberatorio comprendere anche se stesso." (p. 184)

Lacks the punch of the prequel. Definitely feels unfinished.
