A sensation in France, this is a story about literary deceptions, family secrets, and a thrilling quest for the truth Who is the real author of The Black Insignia? Is it H. R. Sanders, whose name is printed on the cover of every installment of the wildly successful young adult adventure series? Or is it Daniel Roche, the enigmatic world traveler who disappears for months at a time? When Daniel's great-niece, HElEne, moves to Paris to study archeology, she does not expect to be searching for answers to these questions. As rumors circulate, however, that the twenty-fourth volume of The Black Insignia series will be the last, HElEne and her friend Guillaume, a devoted fan of her great-uncle's books, set out to discover more about the man whose life eludes her. In so doing, she uncovers an explosive secret dating back to the darkest days of the Occupation. In recounting the moment when one history began and another ended, "The Travels of Daniel Ascher" explores the true nature of fiction: is it a refuge, a lie, or a stand-in for mourning?

Quando era bambino, arrivato a Torino dal Sud, Michele era rimasto incantato dalla bambina che leggeva, seduta sul terrazzino di fronte. Quando era bambina, tormentata dai fratelli gemelli scatenati, Marta si rifugiava sul balcone per sognare le vite degli altri. Come una folata di vento che scompigli la quiete del grande cortile che li separa, ora la vita ha rimescolato le carte. Marta e una donna adulta, indipendente e sola, con un solo motto bastare a se stessi, come i gatti e un solo piacere segreto: spiare da dietro le tende, al buio, la finestra di fronte. È andata lontano, ha viaggiato e da poco e tornata a casa, in un condominio simile a quello dell''infanzia.Anche Michele si e spinto dove nessuno avrebbe pensato, e ogni giorno per mestiere vede gente che fugge e che torna: guida i Frecciarossa attraverso l''Italia, e in poche ore solca la penisola per poi rientrare nel suo nuovo appartamento e affacciarsi ancora una volta su un cortile. Fino a quando succede una cosa imprevista, anzi piu d''una: di quelle che accelerano il corso dell''esistenza, che costringono a uscire dal guscio protettivo che ci costruiamo, a guardarsi negli occhi.A quanti di noi e capitato di abitare in un grande caseggiato, di quelli con un ampio cortile di giorno popolato di voci e la sera di luci che rivelano le vite degli altri? Margherita Oggero intesse con sapienza l''invisibile rete di sguardi e traiettorie, di significati e desideri nati tra quelle finestre e destinati a unire, separare, far danzare i suoi personaggi tra le quinte reali eppure poetiche della sua Torino.Queste pagine sono percorse da una sorta di "leggerezza dolente", da un''ironia che non e mai disgiunta dall''umanissima partecipazione alle sorti di persone autenticamente impegnate a trovare un senso ai propri giorni. La ragazza di fronte e uno splendido spaccato della storia sociale di una grande citta italiana negli ultimi cinquant''anni e insieme una storia d''amore bellissima, veloce, sorprendente.

Das Zeitalter, das wir kennen, ist langst eingeschlafen. Wo einmal Europa war, gibt es nur noch drei labyrinthische Stadte, die eher gewachsen sind, als da sie erbaut wurden. Die Welt gehort den Tieren. Fische streiten uber Sodomie, Theologinnen mit Habichtskopfen suchen in Archiven nach Zeugnissen der Menschheit, und Cyrus Golden, der Lowe, lenkt den Staat der drei Stadte. Als ein ubermachtiger Gegner die neue Gesellschaft bedroht, schickt er den Wolf Dimitri als Diplomaten aus, im einstigen Nordamerika einen Verbundeten zu suchen. Die Nachtfahrt uber den Ozean und in die tiefen Stollen der Naturgeschichte lehrt den Wolf Riskantes uber Krieg, Kunst und Politik und fuhrt ihn bis an den Rand seiner Welt, wo er erkennt, "warum den Menschen passiert ist, was ihnen passiert ist". Der Roman Die Abschaffung der Arten steht in der Tradition groer spekulativer Literatur uber Niedergang und Wiedergeburt der Zivilisation von Thomas Morus, Voltaire und Mary Shelley uber H. G. Wells und Jules Verne bis hin zu Stephen King und William Gibson. Wenn Charles Darwin Krieg der Welten geschrieben hatte, vielleicht ware ein Buch wie dieses dabei herausgekommen: ein abenteuerliches Liebeslied, eine epische Meditation uber die Evolutionstheorie und der waghalsige Versuch, Fossilien von Geschopfen freizulegen, die noch gar nicht gelebt haben.
