Discuss Based On Books Homo Faber

And now here at last is a real book for grown-ups. Intelligent and utterly unsentimental, Homo Faber would, I feel, have been wasted on me if I'd read it ten years ago; now it strikes me as extraordinary. (This is unlike most novels, which, if not actually aimed at people in their late teens and early twenties, seem to resonate most strongly with that intense and exciting age group.)As it happens, Walter Faber, the central character of this novel, does not read novels at all. He can't see the

I can't believe this book is under the category "unpopular books"!!! this is one of books that have influenced me the most. The story of this man destined to become a robot, ignoring his emotions, trying to avoid suffering and depending always on logic and system, is a story of people in the 20th century. What we know now about emotional intelligence is what Max Faber lacks. If someone is interested in the depths and miseries of the human soul, he should read this book. Morover the language is

Im not going to lie. Homo Faber was a difficult story to read. We meet a restless and unfeeling man called Walter Faber, who understands the world only through reason and technology. At the beginning of the novel, Faber travels to South America, but the plane crashes in the Mexican desert. Despite being stranded in the desert for several days, Faber does not lose his temper and fixates his mind on playing chess to pass the time. By chance, he learns that a fellow passenger is the brother of his

This was a difficult novel to read. It's not difficult to understand the words, nor is the translation bad. It's rather the events themselves and the way they are conveyed that is draining. Homo Faber deals with many issues: incest, technology, postcolonialism, incest in the age of technology, loss, desire, and emptiness. The protagonist, Walter Faber, a completely rational man, who only believes in statistics and technology, fidns himself driven in a journey he was never meant to take. One

Homo Faber was really a suprise for me. It was quite different from what I had imagined it to be. Also, I have to admit that my expectations for it weren't very high. I previously had read Gantenbein by the same author which I didn't like too much. But sometimes it's good to have low expectations for a book: I've often had better reading experiences with novels I wasn't looking Forward to too much than with ones that everyone was raving about. Homo faber is very well written and I literally

This book is required reading in many schools in Germany. Crazy idea. What are the children supposed to get out of it? And so are the ratings and reviews (here and elsewhere) by the young ones. Unfavorable. I have, I believe, seen the film one time. But have forgotten all about it.Homo Faber is Walter Faber. Engineer. Lives by the motto für einen Ingenör ist nichts zu schwör. Constructs his world around technology. Writes letters in the desert after an emergency landing on a typewriter

A Swiss Heart of DarknessAn engineer with an engineering outlook on life, the eponymous Homo (Walter) Faber believes in the randomness of existence. But he fails to recognise that such randomness is equivalent to a kind of cosmic spontaneity. And that such spontaneity implies some sort of spirit. He insists on the absolute disjunction between spirit and matter. The former is emotional, sentimental and soft. The latter is masculine and what constitutes reality, what can be measured, assembled and
