Wondermooi verhaal over de arbeider Andreas Egger, een man die liefheeft, treurt, werkt en droomt en die aan het eind van zijn leven terugblikt op alles wat hij heeft mee gemaakt. ( ) Quiet and poignant story of the life of one man, Andreas Egger, living in Austria, from around 1900 to 1980. The writing is lovely. It is short, and I think the brevity is intended to convey how quickly a life goes by, even a long life. Egger experiences tragedies and he adapts. He lives a simple life. He only leaves his Austrian village a couple times, one of which was his service in the German army during WWII. Egger lives in the Austrian Alps, and the natural setting is beautifully described. It never delves too deeply into any topic, though, and it seems over too quickly. This book was well written/translated, and interesting enough, although it was quite depressing in places. I was especially impressed with the resilience of this man. When I try to see him in this day and culture, it is very incongruous. I think things are so relatively easy for us, we haven't learned the patience and acceptance, and relative contentment that he had. Definitely an interesting read.

Set in the mid-twentieth century and told with beauty and tenderness, Robert Seethaler's A Whole Life is a story of man's relationship with an ancient landscape, of the value of solitude, of the arrival of the modern world, and above all, of the moments, great and small, that make us who we are.
