«Éste es un relato con una parte de verdad y otra de fantasía. Todo lo que explico ha ocurrido, pero no exactamente de la manera en que lo escribo. […] Este relato se lo he leído en voz alta a Sofia.

Sofia estaba sentada junto al fuego. Ahora las llamas la amenazaban. No eran cálidas y agradables, y ella sabía por qué. En la oscuridad, tumbada sobre una manta, se encontraba Rosa, su hermana mayor, que estaba enferma. De todos los hermanos, Rosa era a quien ella queria mas. Rosa tenia diecisiete años, tres mas que Sofia. con ella podia hablar de todo y reian a menudo. Rosa podia contar cosas que a Sofia todavia no le habian pasado. En especial cuando tenian que ver con aquello que llamaban amor. Y Sofia escuchaba y guardaba en la memoria todo lo que Rosa le decia. Sofia miro las llamas e intento comprender que le ocurria a Rosa. Todo el mundo se ponia enfermo de vez en cuando. Pero esta vez parecia que las llamas trataban de contarle algo.

A working class hero is something to be.But Oskar Johansson's status as one is earned by unimaginable suffering.Working to blast tunnels through the rock for a new railway line, he is the victim, in his early twenties, of a horrific life-changing accident. It is a miracle that he survives, and yet he does, disfigured but unbowed.Despite his injuries, Johansson finds love and finds renewed purpose. As Sweden grows from a poor backwater to a rich nation, there are as many losers as there are winners, and Johansson throws his energies into fighting for their cause. And yet, when his own son grows up, he can't resist the lure of a big house and flashy car, establishing his own business and, in Johansson's eyes, betraying his own class.Shaped by events such as the Vietnam War, the Hungarian uprising and the threat of nuclear war, The Rock Blaster is a deft portrayal, told through a fractured narrative, of one man's fight for equality in the face of forces far beyond his control. As the first published novel of one of Europe's most celebrated crime writers, it is also a fascinating insight into the social concerns that fuelled his later work.

At 3 p.m. on a Saturday afternoon in 1911, Oskar Johansson is caught in a blast in an industrial accident. The local newspaper reports him dead, but they are mistaken. Because Oskar Johansson is a born survivor. Though crippled, Oskar finds the strength to go on living and working. The Rock Blaster charts his long professional life - his hopes and dreams, sorrows and joys. His relationship with the woman whose love saved him, with the labour movement that gave him a cause to believe in, and with his children, who do not share his ideals. Henning Mankell's first published novel is steeped in the burning desire for social justice that informed his bestselling crime novels. Remarkably assured for a debut, it is written with scalpel-like precision, at once poetic and insightful in its depiction of a true working-class hero. Translated from the Swedish by George Goulding
