Here, the Nobel Prize laureate reflects on cultural history, memory and trauma, and on what it was to live and write during Ceausescu’s regime: on the friendships that buckled under the weight of fear and paranoia; on the experience of being surveilled and interrogated; and on the unique blend of fear and tedium borne through life under totalitarianism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Village on the Edge of the World\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a book that chronicles the minutiae of life under both fascism and the Soviet Union, while charting the existential questions posed by these regimes of the twentieth century – and how they remain with us in the twenty-first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Herta Müller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56858765525370,"sku":null,"price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0003\/6778\/8068\/files\/80A23F83-F1FB-45F0-9384-F53394653076.jpg?v=1777994260","url":"https:\/\/raremags.co.uk\/products\/the-village-on-the-edge-of-the-world","provider":"Rare Mags","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
