Description: Seeing Further by Esther Kinsky, Caroline Schmidt Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Seeing Further is a powerfully eloquent declaration of love to the cinema and the collective experience of watching by Esther Kinsky, one of Germanys most important contemporary writers. Publisher Description On a journey through the south-east of Hungary some years back, Esther Kinsky finds herself in a small town in the Alfld, the Great Hungarian Plain. Resignation and a glorification of the past are the most dominant threads in the inhabitants conversations. Like many other things, the cinema, mozi in Hungarian, has long since closed. Esther Kinskys own passion for the cinema moves her to bring the decaying mozi back to life.This book is both an account of her time running the local mozi, and a meditation on the irresistible magic of the cinema, a venue where seeing was a collective experience, where wit, terror, dismay and relief found a communal expression without encroaching on the anonymity afforded by the dark room. Seeing Further is a powerfully eloquent declaration of love to the cinema and the collective experience of watching by Esther Kinsky, one of Germanys most important contemporary writers. Praise for Rombo A tragic travelogue to the underworld-turned-world that recasts a newly lost Italian past with a climate-wise chorus straight out of the most harrowing Greek drama. - Joshua Cohen, author of The Netanyahus In Esther Kinskys new novel, language becomes the highest form of compassion and solidarity - not only with us human beings, but with the whole world, organic, non-organic, speaking out with many mouths and living voices. A miracle of a book; should be shining when it gets dark. - Maria Stepanova, author of In Memory of Memory Author Biography Esther Kinsky grew up by the river Rhine and lived in London for twelve years.
