Neuware - - Ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Buchpreis 2019 - HERKUNFT ist ein Buch uber den ersten Zufall unserer Biografie: irgendwo geboren werden. Und was danach kommt. HERKUNFT ist ein Buch uber meine Heimaten, in der Erinnerung und der Erfindung. Ein Buch uber Sprache, Schwarzarbeit, die Stafette der Jugend und viele Sommer. Den Sommer, als mein Grovater meiner Gromutter beim Tanzen derart auf den Fu trat, dass ich beinahe nie geboren worden ware. Den Sommer, als ich fast ertrank. Den Sommer, in dem die Bundesregierung die Grenzen nicht schloss und der dem Sommer ahnlich war, als ich uber viele Grenzen nach Deutschland floh. HERKUNFT ist ein Abschied von meiner dementen Gromutter. Wahrend ich Erinnerungen sammle, verliert sie ihre. HERKUNFT ist traurig, weil Herkunft fur mich zu tun hat mit dem, das nicht mehr zu haben ist. In HERKUNFT sprechen die Toten und die Schlangen, und meine Grotante Zagorka macht sich in die Sowjetunion auf, um Kosmonautin zu werden. Diese sind auch HERKUNFT: ein Floer, ein Bremser, eine Marxismus-Professorin, die Marx vergessen hat. Ein bosnischer Polizist, der gern bestochen werden mochte. Ein Wehrmachtssoldat, der Milch mag. Eine Grundschule fur drei Schuler. Ein Nationalismus. Ein Yugo. Ein Tito. Ein Eichendorff.

"Wenn es ein Tier gab, das ihn in seinen Bann zog, war das der Wolf."Der Geheimbund Danehof ist zerschlagen, doch der traumatisierte Ex-Elitesoldat Niels Oxen kampft weiter mit seinen Sieben Damonen. Fur den Geheimdienstchef Axel Mossman soll er nun den vermissten Poul Hansen aufspuren. Die Suche fuhrt ihn dorthin, wo er sich am besten auskennt: in den Wald. Anstatt nach Hansen Ausschau zu halten, interessiert er sich mehr fur Wolfe - und trifft auf ratselhafte Spuren. Hansens Verschwinden scheint mit einer Entfuhrung aus dem Jahr 1963 zusammenzuhangen. Und mit dem unaufgeklarten Fall, bei dem Oxens Partnerin Margrethe Franck ihr rechtes Bein verlor. Gemeinsam stellen Oxen und Franck Nachforschungen an. Aber das ruft dunkle Machte auf den Plan.

Tenia caducado el seguro del coche. Me hacia varios cortes cada vez que me afeitaba. Llevaba 6 años sin reirme. Tendia a preocuparme, aunque no hubiera ninguna razon. Y cuando realmente tenia por que preocuparme me emborrachaba. Volvio a sonar el telefono y lo cogi. Yo era Nick Belane, el superdetective.

Un gran thiller político, intimista, sentimental e social.Helena Sánchez é unha prestixiosa xornalista que acepta investigar o caso de Fernando, un condenado por agresión sexual á súa filla que sostén ser vitima dun complot argallado pola sua ex-muller e que desexa lavar a sua imaxe a traves desa reportaxe. No proceso, sairan a luz historias ocultas que quizais e mellor non saber, movendo, a traves da pescuda, a unha reflexion sobre a etica da verdade fronte a mentira e sobre a propia felicidade na vida de Helena. A investigacion xornalistica e, en realidade, o punto de partida para afondar nas vidas e relacions de duas familias marcadas non so polas particulares trastendas do amor, senon tamen pola irrupcion do totalitarismo e a extrema dereita do mesmo xeito calado e sutil en que se introduce na sociedade e na politica do noso tempo. O libro da filla e un relato profundo e inquietante en que a autora parte dun caso real de abuso no ambito familiar para obrigarnos a ollar de fronte o mello e o peor de nos como persoas e como sociedade. Unha novela que afonda no mais meserabel da condicion humana a traves dunha voz directa e desgarrada que se inmisce de modo intimo nuns personaxes cos que e imposibel non identificarse.
