About This Novel

In 1945, at the end of World War II, a group of German-speaking Romanians were conscripted into a Russian labor camp. The novel tells the story of seventeen-year-old Leopard Oberke. Hunger and fear seeped into his breathing, and every breath brought dizziness and pain like swinging on a swing.

Breathing Swing rarely mentions dictatorship in the whole text, but through the all-round description of hunger in a poetic way, it makes people deeply disgusted with the labor camp.
