Kaputt

Broken, shattered, ruined... Kaputt means exactly this in German. What other words can describe the wreckage of Europe after the Second World War? Malaparte began writing his masterpiece, which has been much talked about since the day it was written, in the summer of 1941, at the beginning of the German war against Russia, in a peasant's house in Ukraine. Malaparte, who engraves the brutality not only on the fronts but also behind the fronts into the reader's mind with his sentences, wanders throughout the pages under bombardments, in the depths of snow-covered forests, and at dinner parties with Nazi leaders. It tells the reader in a sharp way how the fate of European nations was drawn in the most cruel way. There is an interesting story behind Kaputt's ability to reach the reader; Throughout this journey, Malaparte carried the manuscripts sewn into the lining of his coat. Just as the reader will carry the spirit of this book firmly planted in his heart after reading it once...


"Whoredom is very popular in Italy these days. Everyone is a whore, including the Pope, the King, Mussolini, This is what our beloved princes, cardinals, and generals all do. It has always been that way in Italy, and it always will be like that, and I was a whore, too, for years, like all the others, and I raised the flag of rebellion. I did it in prison. But being in prison is also a form of prostitution. Acting as a hero and fighting for freedom is also a form of prostitution. There is no salvation..."
