The Third Reich a novel

"On vacation with his girlfriend, Ingeborg, the German war-game champion Udo Berger returns to a small town on the Costa Brava where he spent the summers of his childhood. Soon they meet another vacationing German couple, Charly and Hanna, who introduce them to a band of locals--the Wolf, the Lamb, and El Quemado--and to the darker side of life in a resort town. Late one night, Charly disappears without a trace, and Udo's well-ordered life is thrown into upheaval; when Ingeborg and Hanna return to their lives in Germany, he refuses to leave the hotel. Soon, he and El Quemado are enmeshed in a round of Third Reich, his favorite World War II strategy game, and Udo discovers that the game's consequences may be all too real. Written in 1989 and found among Roberto Bolaño's papers after his death, The Third Reich is a stunning exploration of memory and violence. Reading this quick, visceral novel, we see a world-class writer coming into his own--and exploring for the first time the themes that would define his masterpieces The Savage Detectives and 2666"--

  • "Udo Berger, a failed writer, travels to a small resort on Spain's Costa Brava, where he befriends another German couple. But when one of his friends disappears after a night out with two sinister local characters, Udo's serene life is disrupted."
  • "Udo berger, 25 ans, est passionné par les jeux de guerre. En compagnie de sa fiancée, Ingeborg, il part quelques jours sur la Costa Brava, dans l'hotel tenu par la belle Frau Else."
  • "Udo Berger hat nur eine Leidenschaft: Kriegsspiele. Selbst im Urlaub an der Costa Brava verbringt er die meiste Zeit mit dem Strategiespiel "Das Dritte Reich", einer Simulation des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Eines Abends lernt Udo den mysteriösen "Verbrannten" kennen, ein angeblich durch Folter verunstalteter Lateinamerikaner, von dem er sofort fasziniert ist. Im "Dritten Reich" soll dieser den Part der Alliierten übernehmen und den Lauf der Geschichte ändern. Der unheimliche, subtil ironische Roman ist ein Glanzstück aus dem Nachlass von Roberto Bolano. Er beschreibt die Verdrängung der Vergangenheit durch eine ritualisierte Konsumkultur und stellt die Frage nach dem Geheimnis des Bösen."

  • "Udo Berger tiene veinticinco años y su pasión son los juegos de guerra. También tiene independencia económica y una novia a la que ama, Ingeborg. La pareja pasa unos días en el lugar de la Costa Brava donde él veraneaba con su familia. Udo hace instalar en su habitación una gran mesa donde piensa nuevas estrategias para el Tercer Reich, su juego. Y por la noche van a una discoteca y conocen a Charly y Hanna, otra pareja de alemanes. Cuando bajan a la playa, el imprevisible Charly les introduce en la comunidad del lugar, plena de turbios personajes como el Lobo o el Cordero, que tanto pueden ser trabajadores de verano como mafiosos; Frau Else, la guapa encargada del hotel, o el Quemado, un hombre desfigurado y del que nadie sabe nada, aunque insinúan que es extranjero, que fue torturado en su país."
