Old Masters book by Thomas Bernhard (Farsi)Description
Old Masters is a darkly humorous and intellectually charged novel by Austrian author Thomas Bernhard. Told through an intense and unbroken monologue, the story exposes the author’s scathing critique of art, culture, society, and the human condition itself. The novel follows Reger, a cynical music critic who visits the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna every day to sit before Tintoretto’s painting Man with a Beard. From this vantage point, he delivers his relentless reflections on art, existence, and the absurdity of life. Beneath its seemingly simple premise lies a complex philosophical meditation filled with anger, irony, despair, and dark wit. Old Masters is both a powerful philosophical novel and a biting satire, inviting readers to confront uncomfortable truths about the meaning of art, intellect, and human frailty.
