- Summary:
- In twelve virtuous stories Judith Schalansky is dedicated to what the lost history leaves behind: rumors and legends, omissions and phantom pains. Her protagonists fight in different ways against transitoriness: an old man hoarding the knowledge of mankind, a ruins painter creating the past as it never was, the aged Greta Garbo brushing through Manhattan, wondering when exactly she may have died, and Schalansky herself, who traces the history of the German Democratic Republic in the gaps of her own childhood--Amazon.
