Gerhard Roth is perhaps the most important writer to emerge from that “hot-bed of geniuses,” the Forum Stadtpark, which has radically influenced German letters in the last two decades. His broad range of works, from experimental novels to plays and a children’s book, has earned him a number of major prizes, and several of his books have been filmed. An uncomfortable writer whose work revolves around extreme mental states and behaviour.

"Auf dem Land sieht man manches deutlicher:
das Leben und das Sterben
die Sieger und die Verlierer
die Gemeinheit und die Güte der Menschen." (Gerhard Roth)

Der erste Band des Zyklus' "Die Archive des Schweigens". Voll mit Bildern aus dem 20. Jahrhundert, aus einer Gegend, in der Gerhard Roth in den 70ern und 80ern fast 10 Jahre selbst lebte. Zusammen gesammelte Fotografien, Scherben einer vergangenen Zeit, die in der tiefsten Südsteiermark länger dauerte als irgendwo anders. Erinnerungen an eine Region, die heute fast verwaist ist. Beeindruckend. Und eine perfekte Vorbereitung auf die Lektüre des zweiten Bandes "Der stille Ozean".
