Fatelessness
"Fatelessness" is a novel by Hungarian author Imre Kertész, published in 1975. The story follows a young Jewish boy named György during the Holocaust, exploring his experiences in a concentration camp. The narrative delves into themes of identity, fate, and the absurdity of life in the face of suffering.
The book is notable for its exploration of the concept of "fatelessness," where the protagonist grapples with the loss of his previous identity and the randomness of his circumstances. Kertész's work reflects on the broader implications of the Holocaust and the struggle to find meaning in a world marked by chaos and despair.
