Edith ist über vierzig und wohnt allein in einer kleinen Wohnung in Köln. Ihr Leben verläuft in sehr engen Bahnen. Tagsüber arbeitet sie bei einer Versicherung, abends sieht sie fern. Außer zu ihrer Mutter, mit der sie sich pflichtschuldig einmal im Monat trifft, um sich von ihr kritisieren zu lassen, hat sie kaum Kontakte. Das ändert sich, als sich eine Zehnjährige in ihr Leben drängt und ihr ständig neue Aufgaben stellt. Edith muss nachts die Blumen der Nachbarin gießen, fremden Menschen Kuchen schenken, schwimmen lernen... merkwürdige Dinge tun, die alle mit anderen Menschen zu tun haben...

Henning Mankells Vermächtnis

Durch Zufall begegnen sich Stefan und Elisabeth, die zusammen zur Schule gingen, am Flughafen wieder. Es stellt sich heraus, dass beide aus demselben Grund dort sind: um nach Afrika zu fliegen. Doch unterschiedlicher könnten ihre Pläne kaum sein: Stefan, aus einer wohlhabenden Familie, möchte in Afrika feiern und Sex haben. Elisabeth hingegen, die es in ihrem Elternhaus schwer hat, sieht die Reise als Chance auf einen Neuanfang und als Suche nach sich selbst. Ihre gemeinsame Tour konfrontiert die beiden jungen Menschen nicht nur mit der harten Realität des Entwicklungslandes, sondern auch mit sich selbst.

Ungekürzt gelesen von Axel Milberg, der deutschen Stimme Henning Mankells.

Title: Death of a River Guide

Author: Richard Flanagan

Narrator: Humphrey Bower

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-15-17

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Widely regarded as a classic in Australian literature, Richard Flanagan's debut novel takes us on a swirling journey into Tasmania's past and our river guide's own violent ancestral secrets.

Beneath a waterfall on the Franklin, Aljaz Cosini, river guide, lies drowning. Beset by visions at once horrible and fabulous, he relives not just his own life but that of his family and forebears.

In the rainforest waters that rush over him he sees those lives stripped of their surface realities, and finds a world where dreaming reasserts its power over thinking. As the river rises, his visions grow more turbulent, and in the flood of his past Aljaz discovers the soul history of his country.

Richard Flanagan's 1994 debut about a mythical Tasmania dazzled audiences around the world, and is now recognised as one of the most powerful and original Australian novels of recent decades.

Critic Reviews:

"Haunting and ambitious." (The New York Times Book Review)

"A torrent of a book - take the plunge." (The Independent)

A Masterpiece From A Master Writer

Aljaz Cosini, a Tasmanian, has signed on as lead guide on a rafting trip down the Franklin River in Tasmania. Cosini has been away from his homeland for a decade and is not in the best of shape for such a grueling job, but he's broke and needs a job. His co-guide, Cockroach, is young and strong but doesn't know the river at all. Still, it's a week and they need the money. They collect their group who are a typical group of tourists and set out. But the river is in the mood for blood. The weather turns and steady rain causes the river to rise precipitously When one of the tourists makes a foolhardy move, Aljaz jumps into the river to save him. Instead, he finds himself head down stuck between two rocks, slowly drowning.

As his last minutes tick away, Aljaz finds himself having a series of visions. He sees his life rush past, with jobs from footballer to sailor to handyman. His marriage to the only woman he has ever really loved flashes past with the reason it failed in the biggest tragedy of his life. He not only sees his own life, but that of his ancestors. That includes his parents. Harry marries an Eastern European woman he finds and falls in love with in Italy in a misbegotten attempt to become a sewing machine salesman. They return instead to Tasmania where they live out their lives, their closest friend the midwife who assists at Aljaz's birth. But Aljaz sees even further back to ancestors such as Ned Quade, who comes to Tasmania as the result of transportation for a crime he doesn't even remember. He also has visions of the Aboriginal woman whose place in his genetic background is never talked about.

Richard Flanagan is acknowledged as one of Australia's premier authors. He won the 2014 Man Booker Prize for his novel, The Narrow Road To The Deep North, an exploration of the Australian experience during the second World War and the Japanese POW camps. This was Richard Flanagan's second novel. As always, he explores the history and lush environment of the land he lives in and loves. He captures the beauty and the despair that is the characteristic of the people who live there. He explores the exploitation of both Tasmania's natural resources and the native people who are supplanted there by those who come and conquer the land.

Members Reviews:

A Beautiful, Touching, and Memorable Story

From the opening pages of The Reminders, little Joan Lennon Sully wraps you around her finger. Her stunning and awe-inspiring memory, precociousness, and seemingly never-ending curiosity draw the reader into her story. When Val Emmich combines Joan Lennon with grief-stricken and embattled Gavin Winters, music is made. Joan Lennon Sully has HSAM, a rare condition which allows her to have a perfect memory. Gavin Winters has just lost the love of his life and is now struggling to find meaning. When Gavin stays with Joan Lennonâs parents to find escape, the two begin a unique and memorable friendship, based in Joanâs memories of Sydney, Gavinâs lost partner, and their shared love of music. With these two characters, Emmich creates a spell-bounding narrative, where the reader feels a part of Gavin and Joanâs friendship. The overarching theme of music lends an especially poetic feel to the book and its message. The dual perspectives of Joan and Gavin allow for extremely detailed character development, making Joan and Gavin leap off the page. With the two, you feel Gavinâs grief and lost sense of purpose while feeling Joanâs ever-increasing confusion and fear of others forgetting. Truly creative and unique, The Reminders is a reminder in itself of the power of friendship and the strength of the human spirit.

Uniquely Original Story that's Somehow Light and Heavy at the Same Time

A modern version of a young heroine with a marvelous gift carries you through a story filled with hope, longing, and music. Crafting a relationship through inner and outer dialogue is a gift many writers lack, but herein Val Emmich has found a voice. Two, in fact. Those familiar with his music may catch glimpses of the songwriter throughout the novel. Moments where both Gavin and Joan are telling a story that is uniquely fictional yet brimming with real experience and emotion. This is a terrific first novel and a sign of even greater things to come. If you enjoy Eggers and Foer, youâre in the right place.

A beautiful novel. Do yourself a favor and buy it!

A wonderful novel. No need to talk about the details because you can get that from reading the many other reviews. The characters are wonderful and it is a terrific, very moving story.

Critic Reviews:

Jeg tr godt pst, at de valgte rigtigt da de valgte vinderen. Torben Munksgaards srdeles velskrevne og veltnkte bog er oven i kbet bde samtid og retro, for den beskriver en nutidsmand, der forsger at skabe sig selv en fremtid ved at generobre sin fortid - han beslutter sig slet og ret for at blive yngre en opsigtsvkkende god bog, der munder ud i en rrende og meget filmisk scene, hvor Henrik bogstavelig talt forsger at skabe sig en ny, ngen begyndelse. Det er sarkastisk, sviende og ramt lige p kornet af den velskrivende Torben Munksgaard, der er lige prcis s satirisk, som samtiden krver - og det er ikke s lidt.

-- Klaus Rothstein, Weekendavisen

En usdvanligt stilsikker og velskrevet roman Humoren er sort og tonen bde grotesk og direkte... en veloplagt og meget dansk tilgang til mnd i krise. Der er al mulig grund til at glde sig til Torben Munksgaards videre forfatterskab.

-- Henrik Bo Nielsen, Nyhedsavisen

Torben Munksgaard skrler og skejer ud med den fandenivoldske og meget veloplagte Retrograd Der er drje hug til velfrdsdanskernes slappe tilfredshed og idéforladte tidsfordriv en rigtig typisk samtidsroman.

-- Martin Krogh Andersen, Berlingske Tidende
