Imperium - A Fiction of the South Seas (1919)
ISBN: 9780374709860 bzw. 0374709866, vermutlich in Englisch, Straus And Giroux Farrar, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
Imperium: An outrageous, fantastical, uncategorizable novel of obsession, adventure, and coconuts In 1902, a radical vegetarian and nudist from Nuremberg named August Engelhardt set sail for what was then called the Bismarck Archipelago. His destination: the island Kabakon. His goal: to found a colony based on worship of the sun and coconuts. His malnourished body was found on the beach on Kabakon in 1919 he was forty-three years old. Christian Kracht`s Imperium uses the outlandish details of Engelhardt`s life to craft a fable about the allure of extremism and its fundamental foolishness. Engelhardt is at once a sympathetic outsider-mocked, misunderstood, physically assaulted-and a rigid ideologue, and his misguided notions of purity and his spiral into madness presage the horrors of the mid-twentieth century. Playing with the tropes of classic adventure tales like Treasure Island and Robinson Crusoe, Kracht`s novel, an international bestseller, is funny, bizarre, shocking, and poignant-sometimes all on the same page. His allusions are misleading, his historical time lines are twisted, his narrator is unreliable-and the result is a novel that is also a mirror cabinet and a maze pitted with trapdoors. Both a provocative satire and a serious meditation on the fragility and audacity of human activity, Imperium is impossible to categorize, and utterly unlike anything you`ve read before.
