As a rainstorm rages outside, Max Frisch's protagonist, Geiser, watches the mountain landscape crumble beneath landslides and flooding, and speculates that the town will be wiped out by the collapse of a section of the mountain. Seeking refuge from the storm in town, he makes his way through a difficult and dangerous mountain pass, only to abandon his original plan and return home. A compelling meditation by one of Frisch's most original characters, Man in the Holocene charts Geiser's desperate attempt to find his place in history and in the confusing and fragile world outside his window. 000349770 650_0 $$aImagination$$vFiction. 000349770 650_0 $$aLoneliness$$vFiction. 000349770 7001_ $$aSkelton, Geoffrey. 000349770 85200 $$bgen$$hPT2611.R814$$iM4413$$i2007 000349770 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:349770$$pGLOBAL_SET 000349770 980__ $$aBIB 000349770 980__ $$aBOOK
