ما تفضلت به صحيح ومهم لكن لاحظ ايضا مأساوية حياة هذا الكاتب والذي لا تذكر عنه الترجمة العربية لسيرة حياتة سوى القليل وان كتاباته قد تأثرت باصابته بالسل بينما نجد النص الانجليزي من وكيبيديا يروي تفاصيل مأساية عن طفولته تتمثل في :
- بن غير شرعي.
- عادت والدته به الى وطنها من هولندا بعد ولادته ليعش الطفل مع جديه.
- تزوجت امه وعمره 5 سنوات وانتقلت الى مكان آخر لتعيش مع زوجها الجديد.
- مات ابوه الحقيقي عام 1940 واي وهو في سن التاسعة ولم يقابلة ابدا.
- ماتت امه وعمره 19 سنة.
- بعد موت امه وجده صار على علاقة مع امرأة تكبره ب 37 عاما وظلت طبيعة هذه العلاقة غامضة.

Thomas Bernhard
(born Nicolaas Thomas Bernhard; February 9, 1931 – February 12, 1989) was an Austrian novelist, playwright and poet. Bernhard, whose body of work has been called "the most significant literary achievement since World War II,"[1] is widely considered to be one of the most important German-speaking authors of the postwar era.

life

Thomas Bernhard was born in 1931 in Heerlen, Netherlands as an illegitimate child to Herta Fabjan (née Herta Bernhard, 1904–1950) and the carpenter Alois Zuckerstätter (1905–1940).

The next year his mother returned to Austria, where Bernhard spent much of his early childhood with his maternal grandparents in Vienna and Seekirchen am Wallersee north of Salzburg.

His mother's subsequent marriage in 1936 occasioned a move to Traunstein in Bavaria.

Bernhard's natural father died in Berlin from gas poisoning; Thomas had never met him.
Bernhard's grandfather, the author Johannes Freumbichler, pushed for an artistic education for the boy, including musical instruction. Bernhard went to elementary school in Seekirchen and later attended various schools in Salzburg including the Johanneum which he left in 1947 to start an apprenticeship with a grocer.
Bernhard's Lebensmensch (companion for life), whom he cared for alone in her dying days, was Hedwig Stavianicek (1894–1984), a woman more than thirty-seven years his senior, whom he met in 1950, the year of his mother's death and one year after the death of his beloved grandfather. She was the major support in his life and greatly furthered his literary career. The extent or nature of his relationships with women is obscure. Thomas Bernhard's public persona was asexual.[2]

Suffering throughout his youth from an intractable lung disease (tuberculosis), Bernhard spent the years 1949 to 1951 at the sanatorium Grafenhof, in Sankt Veit im Pongau.

He trained as an actor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg (1955–1957) and was always profoundly interested in music: his lung condition, however, made a career as a singer impossible. After that he began work briefly as a journalist, then as a full-time writer.
Bernhard died in 1989 in Gmunden, Upper Austria. His attractive house in Ohlsdorf-Obernathal 2 where he had moved in 1965 is now a museum and centre for the study and performance of Bernhard's work. In his will, which aroused great controversy on publication, Bernhard prohibited any new stagings of his plays and publication of his unpublished work in Austria. His death was announced only after his funeral
