Das Cafe ohne Namen by Robert Seethaler (German Edition)

A gentle, moving story set in a changing Vienna

Good condition – light cover marks, gentle edge wear, pages clean and intact, spine remains firm.

Vienna in 1966. Robert Simon earns his living as a day laborer at the Karmeliter Market. He's content with his life, but twenty years after the end of the war, the city has risen from its ruins. New things are springing up everywhere, and Simon, too, is swept along. He leases a restaurant and opens his own café. The selection is modest, and strictly speaking, it's not really a café at all, but the people from the neighborhood come, bringing their stories with them—of longing, of loss, of unexpected happiness. They come seeking companionship, some even hoping for love, and as the city awakens around them, Simon's own life is also transformed.

The Nameless Café is a novel about the human urge for new beginnings. With a cast of unforgettable characters and his remarkable attention to the details of life, Robert Seethaler tells the story of how a new world emerges, a world that, like all new things, already contains its own end within it.
