Anthony Doerr Ordine dei libri
27 ottobre 1973
Anthony Doerr scrive con una squisita sensibilità per i dettagli e la bellezza del mondo, anche nei suoi momenti più bui. La sua prosa approfondisce intricate connessioni umane, esplorando esperienze profonde con un focus particolare sull'empatia e sui modi in cui ci connettiamo attraverso vaste distanze. I lettori sono attratti dalla sua capacità di creare immagini vivide e personaggi che risuonano a lungo dopo l'ultima pagina. Il suo lavoro è una testimonianza della resilienza dello spirito umano e della ricerca della luce in circostanze che altrimenti potrebbero portare alla disperazione.

Die Tiefe
Stories
Vom Autor des Bestsellers »Alles Licht, das wir nicht sehen«. Die sechs Stories dieses Bandes, angesiedelt auf drei verschiedenen Kontinenten, handeln von Erinnerung und Liebe. In jedem Augenblick, sagt Anthony Doerr, verschwinden überall auf der Welt unzählige Erinnerungen, dabei sind sie es, die unserem Leben Sinn und Zusammenhang verleihen. Gleichzeitig erforschen Kinder neues, unbekanntes Terrain, formen frische Erinnerungen, erfinden die Welt neu. Doerr erzählt von fast mystischen Momenten, in denen die Zeit aufgehoben scheint und die Toten anwesend sind. Die Welt wird transparent, wenn dieser große und preisgekrönte Erzähler sie und ihre Bewohner beschreibt.

Marie-Laure has been blind since the age of six. Her father builds a perfect miniature of their Paris neighbourhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. But when the Nazis invade, father and daughter flee with a dangerous secret. Werner is a German orphan, destined to labour in the same mine that claimed his father's life, until he discovers a knack for engineering. His talent wins him a place at a brutal military academy, but his way out of obscurity is built on suffering. At the same time, far away in a walled city by the sea, an old man discovers new worlds without ever setting foot outside his home. But all around him, impending danger closes in. Doerr's combination of soaring imagination and meticulous observation is electric.
