Christoph Ransmayr's powerful novel about the time after the great war and the gradual darkening of perspective. Moor, a devastated village in the shadow of the high mountains. Among ruins, rubble, and ice, three people meet: Bering, the "Screamer of Moor," Ambras, the "Dog King," and Lily, the "Brazilian" - three prisoners of their time trying to escape the labyrinth of a murderous post-war world. "The Peace of Oranienburg" is the name for the years and decades following a great war. But this name does not signify an era of reconstruction; rather, it denotes one of atonement, retribution, and revenge. According to the victors' will, the defeated enemies are to return from the ruins of their cities and industries to the beet fields and sheep pastures of a bygone century. Three people encounter each other in Moor, a devastated village.
