Über dieses E-Book

Diese Ausgabe von "Die Verstümmelten" wurde mit einem funktionalen Layout erstellt und sorgfältig formatiert.

Hermann Ungar (1893- 1929) war ein mährisch-jüdischer Schriftsteller. Ungar galt als Einzelgänger des Prager Kreises um Franz Kafka, Ernst Weiß und Max Brod.

Aus dem Buch:

""Polzer hatte das Bild noch von seiner Mutter erhalten. Einmal war der Heilige im Zimmer der Mutter gehangen, zwischen anderen farbigen Heiligenbildern. Polzers Mutter war eine fromme Frau gewesen. Täglich hatte sie Öl in die Lampe gegossen, die zu Füßen des Heilands auf der dunklen Treppe hing und Tag und Nacht flackernd brannte. Sie nahm ihn auch in die Kirche mit. Franz Polzer erinnerte sich seiner ersten Kirchenbesuche gut. Er kniete neben der Mutter unter den großen dunklen Bildern, von angstvollen Vorstellungen bewegt. Er fürchtete die blutenden Gestalten der Märtyrer und vermochte doch den Blick nicht von ihnen zu wenden. Sie waren halbbekleidet, ihr Fleisch war rot bemalt und ihr Antlitz leidensverzerrt nach oben gewendet. Polzer verließ die Kirche bedrückt von Vorstellungen von Sünden und Martern und geängstet von dem Gedanken, das Heilige verletzt zu haben. Er stellte seine regelmäßigen Kirchenbesuche erst ein, als er mit Karl Fanta zusammenzog. Von nun an besuchte er die Kirche nur selten und heimlich.""

    A dark and depressing book. I didn't enjoy this, but that's not to say the author isn't talented. The main character has paranoia and neurosis and was not nurtured in the least growing up. As such, he is unsuccessful in his dealings with everyone, from his workplace to his landlady. He doesn't know how to stand up to people, so they walk all over him. I'm pretty sure the attendant killed the landlady, but he doesn't defend himself because he doesn't know how to act with other HUmans.

    If I had to describe this book in one word it would be "depressing." Or maybe " grotesque." Or "perverse." You get the idea. The book was written in 1920/21, but was not published until 1923. The author had reservations, fearing scandal, and the publisher feared obscenity charges.Franz Polzer is a bank clerk in an unnamed central European city. He was abused as a child by his father and aunt, and still suffers from nightmares in which they feature prominently. Franz is a tortured individual, neurotic and perhaps detached from reality, but is able to manage day-to-day life by maintaining extreme control and order over every aspect of his life. He has boarded for years with Frau Pogue, a widow who manages the details of everyday living for him, although he has never been in the same room with her for more than a few minutes. The slightest deviaiton in routine creates havoc for Franz.Franz's orderly life starts to disintegrate when Frau Pogue begins insinuating herself into his life, at first in somewhat innocent ways, by pressuring him to accompany her on Sunday outings. Her demands soon become more extreme, and she forces herself on him sexually. He thinks about moving, but is paralyzed by fears--where should he look; did he have the strength to handle the effort; people are dishonest and might take advantage of him; how could he face Frau Pogue; if he snuck out in the night, how would he get his things; there might be children in the new building; etc. etc."Sleep eluded him. He knew he would not be able to bear all these worries. Maybe he would become ill and have to miss a few days at the bank. Work would pile up on his desk. A new pile came every day, and by the time he returned it would have grown into an enormous heap."Franz's one social contact was with Karl, a friend from his childhood. Karl is now suffering from an unnamed disease which causes abcesses all over his body and which has resulted in his being a multiple amputee. Karl now faces the amputation of an arm. When the possibility arises that Karl may have to become a boarder at Frau Pogue's after the operation (Karl's wife Dora has accused him of sexual torture; Karl has accused Dora of staying with him only for his money), Franz becomes more unhinged. His anxiety is manifest by his obsession with ensuring that all of his things are in order:"He realized by counting his things he could make sure that nothing had been stolen, but that told him nothing about other types of losses. It was possible that moths would eat holes in all his clothing and underwear, making them unwearable, and that since he had never thought of this before perhaps they already had."Franz begins to use his nights "to conduct a precise inventory of all his possessions. He listed everything on a sheet of paper in order to be sure."When Karl does in fact become a boarder at Frau Pogue's after his operation, he is accompanied by an attendant, a former butcher who still possesses his butcher knives, which he keeps wrapped in a blood-stained white apron. Franz's breakdown accelerates:"Everything Franz Polzer had dreaded began to come true. The door had been opened. Now that order had been destroyed, only lawlessness could follow. A gap had been created and the unforseen broke through it, spreading fear. The maimed man lay in the room with the furniture that was covered with white sheets. At night one heard him groan. The pus ate deeper into the flesh, and oppressive dreams tormented him. Polzer listened. Death was in the house, waiting."As I said, depressing...grotesque...perverse. While this doesn't make The Maimed a bad book--indeed it is a well-written and compelling book--it is a distasteful book. My recommendation is that you read it at your own risk. (One reviewer on Amazon suggested that in essence, this book is the literary equivalent of the artistic expressionism movement, which was going on contemporaneously. I agree.)

    Brilliant, oppressive, claustrophobic book of a paranoid schoolteacher who thinks his pupils are out to get him. Reminds me of Kafka, and is very funny in a black comedy kind of way. Out of print in Dutch :( To give you an idea of the quality: after publishing his first two short stories, Thomas Mann (!) already wrote that 'this is a talent we will hear more from'. Stefan Zweig(!) wrote: 'put an exclamation mark behind this name!' But his first novel, this one, shocked Hungary. Zweig saw a sick love of the poisenous fumes of the soul, of damp, sweaty, disgusting situations'. But at the same time he called the book 'great and horrid, luring and disgusting, unforgettable though you would love to forget it as soon as possible'. Another reviewer said he was of the same caliber as Kafka.
