Necropolis (first English translation titled Pilgrim Among the Shadows)[Note 1] is an autobiographical novel, written by Boris Pahor, internationally most notable for his Holocaust experience described in it. It has been compared to works of Primo Levi, Imre Kertesz, and Jorge Semprún.
Contents
Story is told from the point of view of Nazi concentration camp survivor who is visiting Natzweiler-Struthof camp, twenty years after he was sent from there back to Dachau, Mittelbau-Dora, Harzungen, and finally to Bergen-Belsen, which was liberated on 15 April 1945.
International recognition
It was predicted by a Slovene philosopher Evgen Bavčar living in France — a Pahor's friend whose mother worked in Trieste like Pahor's mother did — that as a Slovene writer Pahor would be recognized by Italian state only after he would be recognized by France and Germany. As explained in the 2010 documentary[Note 2] and in an interview with Pahor that was published in 2013 by Bukla Magazine,[1] Italian publishers were not interested in publishing Pahor until French and German translations were published. Only after France and Germany recognized Pahor, his work begun to be finally published in Italy in 2007.[2]
Adaptation
In 2010, it was adapted for theater.
