Mitä jää, kun kaikki katoaa? Seinä on itävaltalaisen kirjailijan Marlen Haushoferin hyytävä ja ajankohtainen klassikko selviytymisestä, yksinäisyydestä ja ihmisyyden rajoista. Vuoristolaaksossa Alpeilla sijaitsevassa metsästysmajassa yksin oleskeleva nainen havaitsee, että yön kuluessa ilmestynyt lasiseinä erottaa laakson muusta maailmasta. Seinän toisella puolen ihmiset ja eläimet ovat kuolleet, kivettyneet. Nainen on yksin maailmassa. Myöhemmin hänen seurakseen ilmestyvät koira, kissa ja lehmä. Aluksi kuolema tuntuu ainoalta vaihtoehdolta. Mutta uteliaisuus ja elämänhalu ajavat naisen rakentamaan uutta arkea: viljelemään maata, metsästämään ja hoitamaan eläimiä. Pienoismaailma löytää rytminsä – kunnes pelko ja epätoivo alkavat hiipiä takaisin. Marlen Haushofer (1920–1970) oli itävaltalainen kirjailija, joka tunnetaan erityisesti psykologisista romaaneistaan ja novelleistaan. Hänen tunnetuin teoksensa Seinä julkaistiin alkukielellä vuonna 1963, suomeksi 1964. Se on selviytymistarina, mestariteos, joka on noussut moderniksi klassikoksi ja feministisen kirjallisuuden merkkiteokseksi. Haushoferin tuotanto käsittele yksinäisyyttä, ihmisen ja luonnon suhdetta sekä naisen asemaa yhteiskunnassa.
The Fifth Year follows a five-year-old girl, Marili, through each season of a single year on her grandparents' farm in the mountains of Austria. Her grand-mother is a quiet, melancholic woman; her grandfather, with his calm, cheerful disposition, radiates warmth. Marili's parents have presumably died in the war, and she is left to discover--with curiosity, wonder, and fear--the beauty and darkness of a quiet pastoral life. Sinister elements lurk beneath the surface of The Fifth Year, in Marili's dreams and fantasies, and this deceptively simple tale of childhood, told in effervescent and evocative prose, bubbles to life in Marlen Haushofer's inimitably alarming style.
Claustrophobic and shattering, this is the story of one ordinary woman unable to save a teenager in her care. It is the story of Stella... Stella is a friend's nineteen-year-old daughter who has come to live with Anna and her family. Unloved and neglected, Stella's presence disturbs the already tense and tumultuous household. She lodges uncomfortably in their lives, whilst Anna struggles to bring warmth and welcome to the home. Her son continues to be gloomy and her daughter oblivious. Meanwhile Richard, Anna's adulterous husband, pretends not to notice Stella at all…Marlen Haushofer, author of The Wall, is the undisputed mistress of sustained dread and this gripping short novel deserves to be rediscovered.

Kortromanen Vi dræber Stella af den østrigske forfatter Marlen Haushofer (1920-1970) udgives for første gang på dansk: I 1950’ernes Østrig gør Anna alt for at opretholde familielivets pæne facade. Hun holder et nydeligt hjem, er mor til to og gift med Richard, der til gengæld ikke gør det mindste for at skjule sine mange affærer. Det er Anna vant til. Da den 19-årige Stella flytter ind hos familien og skal bo hos dem det næste skoleår, sættes et farligt spil i gang. Anna sørger for tøj og sko til Stella og forvandler pigen fra landet til en smuk ung kvinde, og der går ikke længe, før Richard får øjnene op for hendes skønhed. Affæren er forudsigelig, men den får fatale konsekvenser, og Anna længes tilbage til en normal hverdag – for kan man vænne sig til alt? Vi dræber Stella er en fortættet fortælling om skyld, medskyld og forræderiets mange ansigter. Andrea Fehlauer har oversat romanen fra tysk, og bogen er med forord af teaterchef og instruktør samt forfatter Liv Helm.

Main description: Left alone for the weekend while her husband and two children are visiting her in-laws, the narrator of KILLING STELLA recounts the addition of her friend's daughter, Stella, into their already tense and tumultuous household. Staring out the window at her garden, she worries about the baby bird in the linden tree, about her husband, Richard, who flits from one adulterous affair to another, about her son's gloomy demeanor and her daughter's obliviousness to everything, and, most of all, she worries about Stella, a confused teenager who has just met a sudden and disastrous end. A domestic horror story that builds to an apocalyptic ending, KILLING STELLA distills many of the themes of Marlen Haushofer's acclaimed novel THE WALL into a claustrophobic, gothic, shattering novella.
A woman's weekend away in the Austrian mountains takes an inexplicable and sinister turn - and becomes a fight for survival. A woman takes a holiday in the Austrian mountains, spending a few days with her cousin and his wife in their hunting lodge. When the couple fails to return from a walk, the woman sets off to look for them. But her journey reaches a sinister and inexplicable dead end. She discovers only a transparent wall behind which there seems to be no life. Trapped alone behind the mysterious wall she begins the arduous work of survival. This is at once a simple account of potatoes and beans, of hoping for a calf, of counting matches, of forgetting the taste of sugar and the use of one's name, and simultaneously a disturbing dissection of the place of human beings in the natural world.'Every joint and sinew of the story is restless with a sense of threat' London Review of Books'Brilliant in its sustainment of dread, in its peeling away of old layers of reality to expose a raw way of seeing and feeling.' Nicole Krauss, author of The History of LoveTRANSLATED BY SHAUN WHITESIDE
An Austrian housewife sits in her loft intent on her drawings of birds and insects. Then one day a disturbing package arrives in the post... The narrator of this story spends her free time in her loft. It is a retreat where she can draw undisturbed. It is also a retreat from her dull and dissatisfied husband, a man who sighs unhappily even when she sneezes. Their grown-up children are living independent lives and the house is very quiet. Her dreams are filled with domestic drudgery. The arrival of the parcel threatens her quiet equilibrium. It contains extracts from the narrator's diary, written twenty years before. They date back to a time when she was sent away by her husband to a remote cottage in a bid to 'cure' her from unexplained sudden deafness. More mysterious packages arrive. Who is sending them? And what did happened all those years ago in the forest?'A thrilling novel... What gives this book its tremendous power? First the voice is charming, with a skittish beauty throughout... But there is also disarming honesty, and a lack of vanity, which appeals as only truth can’ John Self, GuardianTRANSLATED BY AMANDA PRANTERA
