The Memory of Evil - Roberto Costantini - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Memory of Evil - Roberto Costantini - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Everything started from that day. The memory of 31 August 1969 has been at the back of Commissario Michele Balistreri''s mind for over four decades. It was not only the day that preceded Colonel Muammar Gadaffi''s seizure of power in Balistreri''s birthplace of Libya, drastically altering his and his country''s destiny, but that on which his beloved mother Natalia fell to her death, and the resulting suicide verdict that Balistreri - now Head of Homicide in Rome - has always suspected to be a flagrant cover-up for her murder.The memory of 23 July 2006 has been at the front of investigative journalist Linda Nardi''s mind for the past five years. Ever since her and Balistreri together thwarted a phantom-like killer stalking Rome, Nardi has been intent on shedding further light on the Vatican Bank''s shadowy involvement in the abominations uncovered that summer. But now Linda will find her attention diverted to an equally irresistible assignment: the collapse of Colonel Gadaffi''s forty-two year dictatorship. The Memory of Evil is the earth-shattering finale to Roberto Costantini''s internationally bestselling trilogy, in which one woman will encounter a long-entombed truth in the rubble of Gadaffi''s Tripoli: unearthing a conspiracy neither she, nor the man it was designed to protect, will ever be able to erase from their minds.

When Memory Dies - A. Sivanandan - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

When Memory Dies - A. Sivanandan - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

"Haunting, with an immense tenderness . . . Unforgettable" JOHN BERGER "I''m recommending When Memory Dies to everyone" ARTHUR C. CLARKE "Profoundly moving" Evening Standard "A brilliant and moving first novel" Times Literary Supplement A powerful three-generational saga of a Sri Lankan family''s search for coherence and continuity in a country broken by colonial occupation and riven by ethnic wars. Through the viewpoints of three generations of a Sri Lankan family (taking the reader from 1920 through the 1980s), Sivanandan explores a culture destroyed first by colonization, then through the ethnic divisions that are released when the country achieves independence. The family, which lives at a level of poverty that makes survival a constant struggle, must also balance love for one another with a deep love of their homeland. Without bending to romanticism or proselytization, the author evokes a compelling and very human story of a lost country. It is a vision as beautifully told as it is unrelenting in its devotion to truth. In the process, the work also supplies a rich historic background to the often underreported news accounts of the massacres and upheavals in Sri Lanka. **Winner of the Sagittarius Prize **Shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers'' Prize**

Leica Format - Dasa Drndic - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This is like a fairy tale, all this. A woman meets a stranger who tells her her identity is a lie. 772 (or 789) children''s brains rest silently in jars. A traveller comes to a quotidian city, unknowingly approaching her past. From the author of Trieste (shortlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize) comes this bedazzling kaleidoscopic novel, stitching together fact and fiction, history and memory, words and images into a heart-breaking collage that manages to look askance at the blinding horror of history. Ranging across themes of memory, loss, inheritance and storytelling, Drndic borrows from every tradition of writing to weave together a fragmented narrative of love and disease, in a novel that''s very format raises penetrating and unanswerable questions about history, and the processes by which we describe and remember it.

The Good Neighbours - Nina Allan - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Good Neighbours - Nina Allan - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Cath is a photographer hoping to go freelance, working in a record shop to pay the rent and eking out her time with her manager Steve. He thinks her photography is detective work, drawing attention to things that would otherwise pass unseen and maybe he''s right . . . Starting work on her new project - photographing murder houses - she returns to the island where she grew up for the first time since she left for Glasgow when she was just eighteen. The Isle of Bute is embedded in her identity, the draughty house that overlooked the bay, the feeling of being nowhere, the memory of her childhood friend Shirley Craigie and the devastating familicide of her family by the father, John Craigie . Arriving at the Craigie house, Cath finds that it''s occupied by Financial Analyst Alice Rahman. Her bid to escape the city lifestyle, the anxiety she felt in that world, led her to leave London and settle on the island. The strangeness of the situation brings them closer, leading them to reinvestigate the Craigie murder. Now, within the walls of the Craigie house, Cath can uncover the nefarious truths and curious nature of John Craigie: his hidden obsession with the work of Richard Dadd and the local myths of the fairy folk. The Good Neighbours is an enquiry into the unknowability of the past and our attempts to make events fit our need to interpret them; the fallibility of recollection; the power of myths in shaping human narratives. Nina Allan skilfully weaves the imagined and the real to create a magically haunting story of memory, obsession and the liminal spaces that our minds frequent to escape trauma.

"A tender and thoughtful exploration of the painful irony of being alive and our attempts to make sense of the past as well as the present" KATHARINA VOLCKMER, author of The Appointment "A reflection on identity, rootlessness and violence - Fonseca''s most ambitious, most complex and most accomplished novel to date" JAVIER CERCAS, author of Soldiers of Salamis "A beautifully knotted novel which unfolds with every traced layer of its deeply affecting narrative alongside a meditation on memory, mystery and vanishing. Sebaldian in its turns, Austral is a novel of profound questions" GUY GUNARATNE, author of Mister, Mister A dazzling novel about the traces we leave, the traces we erase and the traces we seek to rebuild.In this innovative novel three losses and three quests are pursued. English writer Aliza Abravanel tries, in a battle with aphasia, to finish her book. A last indigenous speaker is confronted with the fading of his culture and language while an anthropologist struggles to prevent it. And through the construction of an esoteric theatre of memory, a survivor of the Guatemalan genocide of the 1970s and ''80s seeks to recover the memories lost after the traumas of war. And behind these three threads lies the narrator''s own story: Julio, a disillusioned university professor, must try to understand and complete his friend Aliza''s novel, and come to terms with a past he shared with her but has blanked for thirty years.From the Guatemalan wilderness to the high Peruvian Amazon, passing through Nueva Germania, the anti-Semitic commune founded in Paraguay by Nietzsche''s sister, Austral takes us on a long journey south, following a trail of ecological and cultural destruction to excavate contemporary xenophobia.
