The History of Bestiality Trilogy #1-3 by Jens Bjørneboe
Requirements: .PDF reader, 4.2 MB + 12 MB + 11 MB + 612 KB (.ePUB)
Overview: Jens Ingvald Bjørneboe was a Norwegian writer whose work spanned a number of literary formats. He was also a painter and a waldorf school teacher. Bjørneboe was a harsh and eloquent critic of Norwegian society and Western civilization on the whole. He led a turbulent life and his uncompromising humanity would cost him both an obscenity conviction as well as long periods of heavy drinking and bouts of depression, which in the end led to his suicide.
Jens Bjørneboe's first published work was Poems (Dikt) in 1951. He is widely considered to be one of Norway's most important post-war authors. Bjørneboe identified himself, among other self-definitions, as an anarcho-nihilist.
During the Norwegian language struggle, Bjørneboe was a notable proponent of the Riksmål language, together with his equally famous cousin André Bjerke.
Genre: Fiction > General Fiction/Classics
Moment of Freedom: The Heiligenberg Manuscript (The History of Bestiality Trilogy #1)
This is the first novel in Jens Bjorneboe's "History of Bestiality" trilogy.
Bjorneboe and his narrator explore the evil inherent in the human race itself. In a vague middle-European principality the narrator, a servant of justice, is employed to brush gowns and fill inkwells, to be a daily witness to injustice masquerading as a court of law.
The experience sets him off on an odyssey through human experience which he keeps a careful record of in his History of Bestiality, a monumental twelve-volume exploration of man's cruelty to man and his own past, asking what went wrong with mankind. With echoes of Nietzsche and Sartre, we see him striving to live uncoerced by power, unpersuaded by friends, to take for himself the liberty of stating his critique in order to live in his own moment of truth, to stand "far out at the edge of the abyss, "for it is only there where one can truly experience their personal "moment of freedom."
Powderhouse (The History of Bestiality Trilogy #2) Esther Greenleaf Mürer (Translator)
The story, which is really an anti-story, as this is an anti-novel, is told by Jean, a janitor in a mental hospital in southern France. Just as the narrator in Moment of Freedom did, Jean keeps protocols, keeps for himself a written record of those events occurring around him. Also in the hospital are a strange cast of characters: Dr. Lefevre, the chief physician and Jean s drinking companion, and his Algerian assistant, al Assadun; Ilja, a Russian nurse and anarchist; a French nurse, Christine, who becomes Jean s lover; Lacroix, a professional executioner who is suicidal; Fontaine, a Belgian sex murderer; Dr. Barthory, a wealthy Hungarian who served with the German SS; an American General who killed his Black maid; and the wife of the Russian Ambassador, who is having an affair with the General and has a habit of howling like a wolf. The plot, which is akin to a mystery or espionage potboiler, revolves around the execution-like hanging death at the hospital of Dr. Barthory. Any of the characters could have done it.
It s hospital policy that everyone can give a lecture and a large portion of the book is taken up with three lectures: the narrator talks about witch symptomatology; Lacroix offers up a powerful, Foucault-like piece on the history of execution, executioners, and capital punishment; and Dr. Lefevre discusses heresy and heretics. Yet, despite its gruesome subject, Powderhouse does not depress, for it is narrated by a man who loves life, with all his senses open to the warmth of a summer night, the tastes of food and wine, the silky skin of his lover. Just like the narrator of Moment of Freedom who strives to live his own moment of truth, whatever brief moments of ecstasy Jean can grasp in this world of pain, suffering, and madness, he grasps with both hands.
The Silence (The History of Bestiality Trilogy #3)
Originally published in Norway in 1973, The Silence (Stillheten) is the third and final book of what has become known as The History of Bestiality trilogy. Dufour Editions is very pleased to have published in the United States the first two novels in this trilogy -- Moment of Freedom and Powderhouse -- and now, with The Silence, to make all three novels available in English for the very first time. It will give readers a chance to experience first hand Bjorneboe's remarkable, fierce, and even savage fictional inquiry into what he saw as the nature of evil in the twentieth century.As with the first two novels in the trilogy, The Silence also rejects the traditional modes of fiction to posit instead an essay-like novel of ideas, philosophy, and argumentation. It is, in fact, even further removed from the loose fictional form of the two previous protocols, and owes more to the works of Foucault, Girard, and Sartre. Described by Bjorneboe as an anti-novel and absolutely final Protocol, The Silence was ahead of its time in its critique and discussion of the post-colonialist world. Here the inquiring narrator explores not just European history, as he did in the first two novels, but the crimes committed by Europeans against the rest of humanity in the name of expansion and conquest. Set in an unnamed country in northern Africa, the narrator is looking at Europe from the outside. With his friend Ali, an African revolutionary intellectual, he discusses in epic fashion the history of colonialism. Cortez' destruction of the Aztec empire and Pisarro's of the Incas were crimes of genocide comparable with Hitler's against the Jews, and Columbus's glorious discovery of America becomes simplyan act of colonialism. He engages in imaginary conversations with Columbus, Robespierre, God, and Satan. He becomes totally immersed in what he perceives as the world's wickedness. As he tells us: I don't believe that humanity is evil, nor that humanity is good -- I believe that a human being is partly evil and partly good. Which side shall be permitted to grow and develop depends on ourselves. On a planet where people have freely chosen to let themselves be burned alive for the sake of truth, the good must have great possibilities. The court sat, the charges were read, the witnesses heard, the evidence presented, humanity was found guilty. I kept the trial records -- these are the protocols, these three novels. This is the History of Bestiality. Now, is the silence. As Bjorneboe puts it in the third and final novel, there is a transformation in humanity brewing and whether it will result in total destruction or a redeemed humanity is unknown, but we do have the possibility -- the potential, the humanity -- of cooperating in our own redemption.Despite its presentation of horrors and man's inhumanity to man, and its grim portrayal of the narrator's long plunge into the tunnel of depression, The Silence does not depress. It praises man's immeasurable capacity for good; man is the destroyer of all things, but also the renewer of all things. Given what man has done to his fellow man in just these last few years, in Africa, in Latin America, in South America, in Eastern Europe, the twenty-five years that have passed since this novel was first published have not diminished its relevance or its urgency.
