RECENTLy RELEASED young Gerber friedriCh torberg Translated from the German by anthea bell Kurt Gerber embarks enthusiastically on his last year at school, determined to focus on that all-important final exam. He soon finds, however, that he is constantly at odds with his sadistic teacher, Professor Kupfer, known to the students as “Lord God Kupfer”, who takes a particular dislike to him. Inspired partly by Torberg’s own experience of his final schoolleaving exam, which he passed only at the second attempt, and partly by the suicides of no fewer than ten school students in a single week in the winter of 1929, Young Gerber is a timeless tale of classroom angst, and an undisputed classic of Austrian literature. Publication: SuMMer 2012 ISBN 9781906548896 • 314 pp • £12 Friedrich Torberg was born in Vienna in 1908 to a Jewish family. He worked as a critic and journalist in Vienna and Prague, until 1938 when he was forced to emigrate to France as a result of Nazi persecution. Moving to America, Torberg was nominated by New York PEN-Club one of the ten outstanding German anti-Nazi writers. He worked as a Hollywood scriptwriter and for Time magazine until 1951, when he returned to Vienna where he died in 1979. 12
