        Gesammelte Werke

        Bände 1 bis 5

        by Juan Carlos Onetti

        Juan Carlos Onetti ist der große Solitär in der modernen lateinamerikanischen Literatur, einer der maßgeblichen Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts, ein Autor von künstlerischer, ästhetischer und moralischer Kompromisslosigkeit. In gründlich revidierten Übersetzungen und zum Teil erstmals auf Deutsch bietet die Werkausgabe sämtliche vollendete Romane und Erzählungen Onettis, zusammen mit Anmerkungen und Nachworten der Herausgeber. Am Anfang steht sein ruppiger Erstling Der Schacht von 1939 – ein unausschöpflicher, immer neu zu lesender Text. Daneben enthält Band 1 der Werkausgabe die beiden bislang noch nie auf Deutsch erschienenen frühen Romane Niemandsland (1941) und Für diese Nacht (1943). Band 2 der Werkausgabe versammelt drei Romane: Das kurze Leben, 1950 erschienen, hat Onettis Ruhm begründet: ein herausforderndes, ebenso faszinierendes wie hartes Stück Literatur. Noch stärker verdichtet, enigmatisch bei erster Lektüre und immer leuchtender beim Wiederlesen, sind Onettis Kurzromane Abschiede und Für ein Grab ohne Namen von 1954 und 1959. Band 3 der Werkausgabe enthält die beiden Romane Leichensammler (1964) und Die Werft (1961), die das Herzstück des Zyklus von Santa María bilden: Mit wenigen Strichen eine Gestalt in ihrer widersprüchlichen persönlichen Wahrheit hervortreten zu lassen, eine Konstellation zweier Menschen wie eingeätzt zu umreißen, herausgelöst aus allen vorgegebenen Mustern: diese Kunst Onettis ist oft bewundert worden. Band 4 der Werkausgabe enthält Onettis letzten Romane, in ihnen steigt er tief hinab in den Schacht seiner Erfahrung des Lebens – aber wie unterschiedlich ist das, was er als Erzähler schreibend hervorholt: vier Romane, ›reife‹ und ›späte‹, die verschiedener nicht sein könnten und die in je eigener Form und Sprache eine besondere Geschichte erzählen. Der große Romancier Onetti hat ein Leben lang auch Geschichten geschrieben. In Band 5 der Werkausgabe sind erstmals sämtliche Erzählungen auf Deutsch versammelt, und so sehr

        Don Juan (erzählt von ihm selbst)

        by Peter Handke

        Peter Handke erzählt nichts weniger als »die endgültige und die einzig wahre Geschichte Don Juans«. Genauer gesagt: Er läßt Don Juan selbst erzählen, sieben Tage lang in einem Maigarten nahe Port-Royal-des-Champs, und nur ab und an findet sich ein Kommentar desjenigen, dem die Abenteuer der vergangenen sieben Tage vorgetragen werden. Dieser Zuhörer bezeugt, daß all die Don Juans im Fernsehen, in der Oper, im Theater oder auch im »primären Leben« die falschen sind. »Don Juan ist ein anderer. Ich sah ihn als einen, der treu war – die Treue in Person.« Das heißt nun nicht, daß die Geschichten mit Frauen, Geschichten von geglückten Begegnungen und geglückten Abschieden, ausgeblendet bleiben, im Gegenteil: An jeder Station der Reise, die Don Juan zunächst zu einer Hochzeit in den Kaukasus führt, dann nach Damaskus, am dritten Tag in die nordafrikanische Enklave von Ceüta, weiter auf einen Bootssteg in einem Fjord bei Bergen, zu einer Düne in Holland … überall trifft er Frauen, mit denen er, energisch trauernd, in eine Zeit des großen Innehaltens eintauchen kann, in eine Zeit, in der Augenblick und Ewigkeit in eins fallen.
