Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Wenn der letzte Schnee oben am Steinbruchberg unter der kräftigen Märzsonne verdampft und die ersten Sprießlinge auf den noch harten Ackerschollen in derart lebendigem Grün schießen, dass man sie nach einem halben Jahr Kälte, Nässe und Dunkelheit für künstliche Requisiten halten möchte, wenn die von den Aussiedlerhöfen herabkommenden Spaziergänger Schal und Mütze zu Hause gelassen haben und sich das Abendlicht kaleidoskopisch über die leeren Hopfengärten, die roten Dächer der neuen Siedlung und den zerdrückten, ausgebleichten Rasen in unserem Garten legt, dann weiß ich, dass ich es wieder einmal überstanden habe...

Kritik Bewertungen:

Eine starke, lebenshungrige Frau, eine Literaturdozentin in den besten Jahren und eine Heilige - drei Menschen, drei Schicksale, ein Jahrhundert und tausend Geschichten. In Rüdiger Woogs neuem Roman zeichnet der Autor die aufregenden, witzigen, traurigen und magischen Lebenslinien dreier Menschen nach und erzählt zugleich - fast nebenbei - die Geschichte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts. Woogs Sprache fesselt von der ersten Zeile an.

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 09-15-17

Herausgeber: Finch&Zebra

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Gwangju, Südkorea, 1980: Ein Junge sucht nach der Leiche seines Freundes, der bei einem gewaltsam niedergeschlagenen Studentenaufstand gestorben ist. Währenddessen schwebt eine Seele über ihrem toten Körper und berichtet, was sie sieht. Jahrzehnte später: Eine Angestellte erinnert sich, wie sie Teil der Protestbewegung wurde und im Gefängnis landete. Eine Mutter trauert noch immer um ihren Sohn.

Und die Autorin selbst setzt alles daran, in all dem einen Sinn auszumachen. Durch das kollektive Leid dieser Protagonisten und ihre Taten der Hoffnung entsteht nach und nach die Geschichte einer brutalisierten Gesellschaft auf der Suche nach einer Stimme.

"Menschenwerk" ist das schriftliche Zeugnis unserer Bereitschaft, Leid zu riskieren, Gefangenschaft, sogar den Tod, um Gerechtigkeit zu erlangen. Es beschreibt die harte Realität der Unterdrückung und die durchschlagende Poesie der Menschlichkeit.

Vi mder den afsatte, godhjertede, men fordrukne prst, der engang elskede en mand, og som har en ulykkelig og opofrende kone. Og der er den snart 100-rige, ekstremt nrige kone p Valkola. Parallelt med handlingen i Finnskogen flger vi de udvandrere, der har arbejdet sig op i Amerika.

Seriens forfatter stammer selv fra skovfinnerne.

Claes Johansen kan skrive, han har stoffet, det historiske overblik, og s placerer han ellers den velkendte historie det sted, hvor intet er kendt endnu, "Og ingen ved, hvordan det gr".

Title: The Romantic

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Barbara Gowdy

Narrator: Stephanie Einstein

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-13-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

From the author of The White Bone, a piercing novel of passionate attachment and of the fear and freedom of letting go.

Louise Kirk learns about love and loss at an early age. When she is nine years old, her former beauty queen mother disappears, leaving a note that reads only - and incorrectly - "Louise knows how to work the washing machine". Soon after, the Richters and their adopted son, Abel, move in across the street. Louise's immediate devotion to the exotic, motherly Mrs. Richter is quickly transferred to her nature-loving, precociously intelligent son.

From this childhood friendship evolves a love that will bind Louise and Abel forever. Though Abel moves away, Louise's attachment becomes ever more fixed as she grows up. Separations are followed by reunions, but with every turn of their fractured relationship, Louise discovers that Abel cannot love her as fiercely and exclusively as she loves him. Only when she faces another great loss is Louise finally forced to confront the costs of abandoning herself to another.

Skillfully interweaving the stories of Louise and Abel at different ages, Barbara Gowdy produces a powerful exploration of love's many incarnations: a motherless daughter who yearns to be adopted, a husband eternally linked to a wife who has left him, a girl bewitched by the boy next door, a woman who refuses to let go of a magnetic, elusive man. Haunting and profound, The Romantic is a story about love in all its exquisite variations.

Members Reviews:

Barbara's Best

I am a huge Barbara Gowdy fan and all because of reading The Romantic. Her writing is compelling and draws you into the characters life, dream and thoughts. The Romantic is a timeless tale of boy meets girl, but is unlike any story you've ever read. Louise isn't your typical girl but is relateable on so many different levels. Her instant love for Abel is beautiful to say the least yet sad at the same time with how helplessly devoted she is to him. This novel is a girl's bible to getting over a meaningful relationship of any sort. Read it if you've ever been heartbroken or want a good laugh or even a small cry. Five out of five no doubt.

It made me laugh and cry and glad that it found me

I read this book years ago while visiting Nicaragua. It was lent to me and I finished it in three days.

I am not a fast reader, but it captivated me and so I didn't put it down. This book was one of rare beauty, and language that poetically reveals the complexity of human emotions.

It made me laugh and cry and glad that it found me.

Outstanding!

This is the first book by Gowdy I've read, and I feel lucky that I happened to find this true literary gem. The characters are ordinary people with ordinary lives, but they are made extraordinary through Gowdy's profound insights, humour, and her obvious ability to give her characters great emotional depth. The two main characters are Louise and Abel, who grew up on the same street in suburban Toronto in the 60s. Both are only children in families that defy the nuclear norm, and as is typical of children, because they are different they are subsequently outcasted from their peer group. Their strong friendship is an oasis for Louise, and Abel lets Louise into his world of exploring the ravine in their neighbourhood.

Release date: 09-13-17

Publisher: Michelkin Publishing

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Meet Londres Leon, a child born on a stormy, chaotic night where tragedy seems to follow tragedy. As Londres grows up, the chaos only continues as he can't seem to conform to the mold everyone has cast for him. It's more than a coming of age story. It's more than an adventure. It's more than you can ever imagine. The debut novel from Rutherford Rankin tells a story of struggle, heartache, and tragedy with a surprise ending you have to read to believe.

Members Reviews:

Poignant and Timely

Rankins novel Fighting Against Gravity is one that is hard to do justice to in only a few words, though I will try my best. Rankin has definitely written something here that is remarkably profound and deserves to be recognized for that. Taking on some very heavy content that most writers would shy away from Rankin does the opposite and plunges into the depths unafraid of the consequences. As such he has created a novel that is deeply moving and relevant to our world today. Reading this book has challenged me in many ways, but also left me feeling like I had a deeper understanding about the struggles that many face today and for that I cannot recommend this book enough.

Eye-Opener

This book opened my eyes to a world I thought I understood. As an outsider, though, it's hard to understand the emotions that people within the LGBTQ community face. This book takes you on a roller coaster of joy, heartache, confusion, frustration, love, despair, and forgiveness. The characters come to life and you can feel the pain they are going through. This book is definitely for the mature reader, grades 10+.

This was a great book. It really opened my eyes to the ...

This was a great book. It really opened my eyes to the struggles that people who feel this way feel. It is a hot subject right now and Rankin's publishing this book at this time is spot on! Highly recommend it.

Great book!

Great book! This book is a story of the day! With an open and honest perspective to help others understand the struggles, sacrifices and hope for a better society of love and acceptance for all!

... done reading it but so far it is a great book, I highly recommend it

I am not done reading it but so far it is a great book, I highly recommend it.

Critic Reviews:

I dampende eksotisk og sprogligt storslet stil folder Padura sin fortlling om en jdisk slgt ud.

-- 4 hjerter, Politiken

Den p mange mder srdeles ambitise og indviklede roman er frst og fremmest en fantastisk velskrevet og velkomponeret historie, og i virkeligheden er der nsten ingen grnser for alle de lag og vinkler, man kan dykke ned i. Det, der nok isr imponerer, er dog bogens sindrige komposition, hvor hndelserne i nutiden flettes sammen med sm historier fra fortiden. Plot, research og tempo fres sammen til en hjere enhed af helt enestende karakter.
