Nobodaddy''s Children is a trilogy of novels that traces life in Germany from the Nazi era through the postwar years and into an apocalyptic future. Scenes from the Life of a Faun recounts the dreary life of a government worker who escapes the banality of war by researching the exploits of a deserter from the Napoleonic Wars nicknamed The Faun. Brand''s Heath deals with the chaos of the immediate postwar period as a writer joins a small community of "survivors" to try to forge a new life, and Dark Mirrors is set in a future where civilization has been virtually destroyed. Dark Mirrors'' narrator fears he may be the last man on earth until the discovery of another creates new fears. All three novels are characterized by Schmidt''s unique combination of sharply observed details, sarcastic asides, and wide erudition.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Arno Schmidt

He was born in Hamburg on January 18, 1914, but spent much of his youth in Silesia.
During World War II he was stationed in Norway, eventually ending up as a prisoner of war of British troops.
He worked as a literary interpreter and translator, translating Edgar Allan Poe, William Faulkner, and others.
Schmidt's literary work is one of the most unique in 20th-century German literature, solipsistic, atheistic, and provocative, just like the author himself, who lived in isolation in a cabin in the heart of the Lüneburg moor in northern Germany from 1958 until his death in 1979.
Here he developed his own literary theory, refining a style that oscillates between the colloquial and the overtly complex.
Leviathan and Black Mirrors These are the first works by Schmidt to be translated into Portuguese.
