About the author

Marlen Haushofer

36 books352 followers
Marlen Haushofer was born in Frauenstein, Molln, Austria on April the 11th, 1920. She went to a Catholic gymnasium that was turned in a public school under the Nazi regime. She started her studies on German Language and Literature, in 1940 in Vienna and later on in Graz. She married the dentist Manfred Haushofer in 1941, they divorced in 1950 but reunited in 1957. They had a son together, in addition to the one son she had brought to their “second” marriage.

Although Marlen Haushofer won prizes for her work and gained critics laud, she was an almost forgotten author until the Women's Movement rediscovered her, with special attention of the role of women in the male-dominated society themes in her work.

Die Wand (The Wall) can be seen as her main-work. It was published 1963, and it's a novel about a woman cut off from society that made her living on her own in the woods. Not only because of the open ending, the novel allows a big variety of interpretations.
Marlen Haushofer came down with bone cancer and died on March the 21st 1970, she was only 49 years old.

HAUSHOFER, Marlen: „Bartls Abenteuer“, Berlin 2015
Dieses Buch habe ich gekauft, um meine Sammlung aller Haushofer Romane zu vervollständigen und es meinen Enkelkindern vorzulesen. Es geht um das Leben einer Katze. Als ich aber zu lesen begann gefiel es mir. Die Autorin denkt sich – mit menschlichen Instinkten – in das Leben einer Katze hinein. Wie die Katze in einer Familie aufgenommen wird und was sie so im Laufe der Zeit erlebt. Haushofer muss selbst eine Katzenbesitzerin gewesen sein, sonst könnte sie so eine Geschichte nicht schreiben. Das Buch ist demnach kein (nicht nur) Kinderbuch, sondern auch für Erwachsene und im Speziellen für Katzenbesitzer und Katzenliebhaber geschrieben.

Wer Marlen Haushofers "Die Wand" gelesen hat, kann die Autorin hier von entspannter Seite kennen lernen. Ein Buch um das Leben eines Katers, wer Katzen mag, wird dieses Buch schnurren hören.

Das war schon echt niedlich! Und ich fand es irgendwie charmant, österreichische Ausdrücke zu lesen wie "jemandem schön tun".

mooi ingeleefd in de belevingswereld van een kat. prima vertaling. vooral voor kattenliefhebbers herkenbaar. niet heel veel spanningsopbouw. maar echt wel een mooie novelle. ik kwam dit boek toevallig in de bibliotheek tegen; heb genoten van dit boek.

Kept this one going for a long time, dipping in and out. Not just a cosy, sweet read for children, as it also talks about cruel people shooting at cats, car accidents, poison and illnesses, but it shows such an understanding of the feline species.

I think this was the third time I read this book, but it's just so cute. Anyone who has had a beloved cat in their life can relate to Bartl's moods and antics. And it's great for improving my German vocabulary!

Didn't finish. It gets worse and worse towards the end. The author's focus shifts to relating episodes of fighting cats and an animal abuser who shoots cats for entertainment. While the book has some redeeming qualities, they can't carry the appeal. It is simply not worth reading and it would have been better, had this book not been written in the first place.
