Human Love

Zusatztext Wonderful . . . his work is exhilarating Informationen zum Autor Andreï Makine was born in Krasnoyarsk in Siberia in 1957, but sought asylum in France in 1987. While initially sleeping rough in Paris he was writing his first novel, A HERO'S DAUGHTER, which was eventually published in 1990 after Makine pretended it had been translated from the Russian, since no publisher believed he could have written it in French. With his third novel, ONCE UPON A RIVER LOVE, he was finally published as a 'French' writer, and with his fourth, LE TESTAMENT FRANCAIS, he became the first author to win both of France's top literary prizes, the Prix Goncourt and Prix Médicis. Since then Andreï Makine has written THE CRIME OF OLGA ARBYELINA, REQUIEM FOR THE EAST, A LIFE'S MUSIC, which won the Grand Prix RTL-Lire, THE EARTH AND SKY OF JACQUES DORME, THE WOMAN WHO WAITED, HUMAN LOVE and THE LIFE OF AN UNKNOWN MAN. Klappentext Spanning 4 decades of Africa's past as a battleground between the East and West, and ranging from Cuba to Siberia, this is a novel about the cost of idealism, love and man's inhumanity. 'A haunting, often very tender story written in a kind of meditative fury... one of the best novels about Africa in a long time' Christopher Hope, "Guardian" Zusammenfassung As shocking as it is moving, a novel about love, ideology and man's inhumanity to man by the internationally renowned Makine.

Relazione

A powerful meditation on the price of ideology and the nature of love . . . The novel, remorseless in its depiction of man's inhumanity, is poetically alive to the redeeming power of love. Eithne Farry, Daily Mail
