Miñan, Amets Arzallus, Ibrahima Balde: Gineako hiriburutik Nzerekorera mila eta hirurehun bat kilometro daude. Ibrahima han ibili zen hiru edo lau urtez, kamioi batean, gidari batek aprendiz onartu zuelako. Aste batean Konakrytik Nzerekorera joaten ziren, eta hurrengo astean Konakryra itzuli. Egun batean amak deitu zuen arte: anaia txikia falta zen etxean. Eta haren bila abiatu zen. Basamortua gurutzatu; pasatzaile, polizia, bahitzaileekin topo egin; egarria, gosea, mina ezagutu. Afrikatik Europarako bidea. Mediterraneoa zeharkatzen dutenak deshumanizatzea ezinbestekoa da haien heriotzen, kanporatzeen, ilegalizatutako bizitzen gaineko ezaxola zabaltzeko. Baina bizitza horietako bakoitza bakarra da eta, beraz, unibertsala. Eta kontatzeak hori azpimarratzen du. Ibrahima Balderen bizitzaren kronika da nobela hau, hark ahoz eta Amets Arzallusek letraz idatzia. Berezia duelako zauria, eta berezia kontatzeko manera. Hitz egitean han balego bezala.

65 Jahre in der Schublade - heute ein Bestseller'Der Uberlaufer' ist Siegfried Lenz' zweiter Roman, geschrieben 1951. Obgleich vollendet und vom Autor mehrfach uberarbeitet, blieb er bis 2016 unveroffentlicht. Zur Zeit seiner Entstehung wurde er vom Verlag aus politischen Grunden abgelehnt. Ein Uberlaufer zu den Sowjets als Romanheld war im Kalten Krieg nicht opportun. Eine groartige Entdeckung, ein beeindruckender Roman uber den ewigen Konflikt zwischen Pflicht und Gewissen.

A century before A GAME OF THRONES, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros... A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS compiles the first three official prequel novellas to George R.R. Martin's ongoing masterwork, A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE. Almost a century before A Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros... In an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne, and recollections of the last dragon have not yet passed from living memory, a naive but courageous hedge knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, towers above his rivals - in stature if not experience. Tagging along with him is his diminutive squire, a boy called Egg, whose true identity must be kept hidden: for in reality he is Aegon Targaryen, and one day he will be king. Improbable heroes though they be, great destinies lie ahead for Dunk and Egg; as do powerful foes, royal intrigue, and outrageous exploits.
