Als wir Waisen waren

(Author) Kazuo Ishiguro
Format: Paperback
Price: £0.00

Kazuo Ishiguro ist ein Autor der Superlative: Booker- und Whitbread-Preisträger, sein Werk in 28 Sprachen übersetzt, sein Weltbestseller 'Was vom Tage übrigblieb' von James Ivory grandios verfilmt. In seinem neuen Roman, der ebenfalls gleich nach Erscheinen die Bestsellerlisten eroberte, erzählt Ishiguro die Geschichte von Christopher Banks, dem berühmtesten Detektiv im England der dreißiger Jahre. Banks wird vom ungelösten Geheimnis seines eigenen Lebens gequält. Als Kind verlor er unter mysteriösen Umständen in Shanghai seine Eltern. Dorthin macht er sich nun auf, um in der Stadt, die vom chinesisch-japanischen Kriege gezeichnet ist, sein Lebensrätsel zu lösen. Doch erst als er seinen Onkel wiedertrifft, erfährt er die bittere Wahrheit. Sie zerstört gnadenlos jene Kindheitsphantasien, die er als Junge um seine Eltern gesponnen hat.
