Life
Imre Kertész was born in Budapest in 1929. He was 14 years old during the Holocaust, when he was taken to the concentration camp in Auschwitz, and later Buchenwald. This trauma is at the heart of Kertész’s writing, and experiences in the camps serve as the basis of both his debut novel Fateless and his later works. He was rescued in 1945 and then returned to Budapest, where he worked as a journalist, a translator of German literature and later as a writer. During the 1990s Kertész moved to Berlin.

Work
Imre Kertész’s work on his debut novel Fateless continued for many years before it was published in 1975. The book is about young Györgi Köves, who is arrested and deported to concentration camps but survives. In his writing, Imre Kertész explored what it means for a person to live under an ideological death sentence, and how one can handle surviving when so many other people died. With his novels, Kertész associates himself with the literary concept called “witness literature” in which the author describes a trauma from personal experience.

生平
伊姆雷-凯尔泰斯1929年出生在布达佩斯。大屠杀期间，他14岁，被带到奥斯威辛集中营，后来又被带到布痕瓦尔德。这种创伤是凯尔泰斯写作的核心，在集中营的经历是他的处女作《无名之辈》和他后来作品的基础。他于1945年获救，然后回到了布达佩斯，在那里他做过记者、德国文学翻译，后来又做过作家。1990年代，凯尔泰斯搬到了柏林。

作品
伊姆雷-凯尔泰斯的处女作《无名之辈》在1975年出版之前，其工作持续了很多年。该书讲述了年轻的捷尔吉-科夫斯（Györgi Köves）被逮捕并被驱逐到集中营，但他活了下来。在他的写作中，伊姆雷-凯尔泰斯探讨了一个人生活在意识形态的死刑判决下意味着什么，以及当这么多其他人死亡时，一个人如何处理生存问题。通过他的小说，凯尔泰斯将自己与被称为 "见证文学 "的文学概念联系起来，在这个概念中，作者从个人经历中描述了一种创伤。
