Product description:

In a corner of an old Vienna café, a strange man sits, ordering nothing, speaking to no one, lost in a profound silence broken only by the scent of old books emanating from his worn coat. This is Mandel, the antiquary bookseller, the city's cultural memory, who knew every title, every author, every edition, as if books flowed in his veins.

But something changed. War swept through, leaving only devastation and oblivion. One of his former customers returns after a long absence to find Mandel in an unbelievable state… his features unrecognizable, his life shattered behind the bars of a prison whose purpose he never even knew.

From a man who revered knowledge to a vagrant cast aside by history, the novel revolves around the fate of a man crushed by the machinery of bureaucracy and racism, his only crime being that he loved books more than he loved the world itself.

"Mandel the Antiquary Bookseller" is a gentle cry against silence, a sorrowful elegy for all who believed that culture could protect against cruelty.
