A story of love, hate and revenge abysmal.

Ever so often I've tried to read an English book and really understand everything - without having to often look in the computer translation. In this novel, it is my first time ever. The plot corresponds to the well-known Kennedy-content: An American professor and his marriage and daughter are at the center of the story. Man does not reveal too much, if it is determined that there is - as always - is about the inner conflict of partner relationships. In this case, the wife drives a dangerous game and maneuvers the protagonist into nothingness. Having tried all always make it just right, he get sidelined, he ends up in literally in Paris, devastated. If you try to please everyone right one gets obviously mostly sidelined.

In Paris, a breathtakingly exciting plot develops, our protagonist is at the bottom and get to know the (Turkish illegal) immigrant milieu - with all its good and bad sides. It develops the ability to distinguish the world in very simple pattern of friend and foe, he is torn in literally from his Good Teacher human existence. In contrast, the film lovers in Paris is always on the move in the abundant cinema, only to see that these imaginary worlds are not nearly as exciting as his own life, which starts right at the moment when he really nothing more has to lose. His only support is his first novel, in which he writes as if possessed. He whirls ever downward, uncontrollably lost and somehow free. Then he learns the Woman in the Fifth know - about a literary salon. One could describe the ensuing bulk of the book as a psychotherapy, as a treatment by other means. His marriage to his wife behaviors are clear to him and he gains inner distance and detect faults and weaknesses of his character. Abysses female objectives & imperfections, rivalries between spouses are laid bare and the plot controls to a furious finale of love and hate, forgiveness and revenge. More I do not want to reveal, only this: read it with growing enthusiasm. All observations of Kennedy are finely outlined state descriptions of marital or family everyday, he combines his actions sent with his recurring question: what keeps marriages or partnerships together and what are the (often imperceptible) erosion and how can this be develop explosions?

In addition to the contents 1. Eheuntiefen and 2. What is life like at the bottom, lost? Kennedy treated especially the question of whether and how to take revenge. Its solutions go back to the Communist dictatorship in Hungary under Kadar and connect them to the plot of the book. Brutal (really brutal) scenes blur with the action in Paris at a time overall, incredible blend that captivates unlikely. We've all thought these thoughts of revenge and poetic justice. What happened if? This book gives answers exciting!
