About This Item
London. 1972. October 6, 1972. Macmillan. Printed Paperback Edition. Very Good in Worn Wrappers. 0330233513. . paperback. . keywords: Mystery Sweden Translated Literature. FROM THE PUBLISHER - In a Spain ruled by terror and smouldering with suppressed rage, a Swedish girl sees her husband murdered, and is then brutally raped and killed. These events set Willi Mohr, the hitherto apathetic anti - hero of this novel, on his own violent road to resolving the conflict between alienation and commitment. This is one of the most extraordinary and exciting novels to have been published in the past decade - a unique fusion of tension, social insight, and awareness of the connexion between political frustration and sexual violence. In his books, Peter Wahlöö makes fascinating use of a thriller - like' framework to explore the relationship between individuals and the dictatorial State. Critics have compared him to Kafka, Orwell and Durrenmatt. inventory #37998 ISBN: 0330233513.
