About This Novel
Works by Peter Handke, winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature. "To the Ninth Kingdom" is the author's literary journey in pursuit of his lost ancestors and the process of arriving at his ideal spiritual hometown. Having just finished high school, 20-year-old Austrian youth Philipp Kobal gave up his graduation trip to Greece with his classmates and decided to go to Slovenia to find his brother who had been missing for more than 20 years. He carried his brother's agricultural school notebook and Slovenian-German dictionary with him. With these two things, Kobal discovered the magic of language in narrating and transforming reality. The journey through Slovenia is actually Kobar's journey of tracing the traces of his ancestors, discovering his nation and tradition, and finding himself.
