"I" was on vacation in a mountain cabin with my cousin and his wife. The next day, I found that my cousin and his wife had mysteriously disappeared, and I was isolated by an invisible wall and lost contact with the outside world. The humans and animals on the other side of the wall were petrified, and "I" seemed to be the only survivor... "The Hidden Wall" is Marlene Haushofer's representative novel. Since its publication in 1963, it has been regarded as one of the classics of German literature in the 20th century. It has had a profound impact on many writers. Nobel Prize winner Jelinek dedicated his play of the same name to Haushofer. In this book, the author constructs a doomsday picture of the post-human era with a concise style and simple plot, and explores the pure state of human existence through a profound description of the protagonist's inner world. The reflection on freedom, existence and even modern civilization in the book provides us in the post-epidemic era with a unique revelation.
