The Tartar Steppe Zusammenfassung

The Tartar Steppe Dino Buzzati

Young Giovanni Drogo arrives at the bleak border area of the Tartar Steppe where he is to take a short assignment at Fort Bastiani, an encampment manned by veteran soldiers who have grown old without seeing a trace of the enemy. As his length of service stretches from months into years, he continues to wait patiently for the enemy to advance across the desert. Despite, or because of, the fact that they tell him he is perfectly free to leave, he waits for one great and glorious endeavour. Internationally acclaimed since its publication in 1945, The Tartar Steppe is a provocative and frightening tale of hope, longing and the terrible sorcery of the magnificent gesture.

The Tartar Steppe Bewertungen

With obvious affinities to Kafka's The Castle, The Tartar Steppe is a serener and more immediately rewarding book * * The Times * *
It is not often that a masterpiece falls into one's hands. But The Tartar Steppe is undoubtedly a masterpiece, a sublime book and Buzzati a master of the written word -- John Keegan * * Sunday Times * *
A beautiful, masterly novel that shimmers like a mirage, bringing into sharp focus the rise and fall of our ambitions and the pitiless erosion of time. It is the story of one Giovanni Drogo - yet how many of us will be stricken to recognise something of ourselves in him? -- Yann Martel
The Tartar Steppe is a nightmare, a comedy of errors, a beautiful and anguished fable, a call to resistance against folly, the inspired assurance that one last act may justify our lifelong struggle to remain human -- Alberto Manguel
There are names that the coming generations will not resign themselves to forget. Surely one of them is that of Dino Buzzati -- Jose Luis Borges
A strange and haunting novel, an eccentric classic -- J.M. Coetzee
