Description

Reporter Thomas Steinhvel bereist Europa an all seinen Wundern und Wunden, von seinem Wohnort in der Schweiz aus nach Skandinavien, wo das Blut der Fische heller ist und Frauen anders lieben, in die Wlder der Karpaten, wo ein uralter Berg Gold birgt, viel Gold, die Bewohner aber, um Geld zu verdienen, zum Erdbeerpflcken nach Spanien gehen oder nach Norwegen auf eine Bohrinsel. Er ist dabei, wie im tieferen Sdosten in einem Land, das den jngsten Krieg in Europa erlitt, gemordet wird, einfach weil Menschen eben so sind, wie sie sind, oder weil sie aussagen wollen in Den Haag, um die Kriegsverbrecher und Mrder anzuklagen. Urs Mannhart, der Autor, verliert nie die Menschen aus dem Blick. Er verbindet mit lakonisch genauer Sprache Geschichten voller Leben, aufgeladen durch die politischen und sozialen Spannungen in Europa, er zieht die Fden zwischen all diesen Schicksalen, den verschiedenen Arten zu lieben, zu lachen, den schnen und den furchtbaren Erlebnissen, dem Mut wie der Hoffnung, der Chancenlosigkeit wie dem zarten, fragilen Glck. Urs Mannhart stellt durch seinen packenden Roman die Frage nach Recht und Gerechtigkeit in Europa und konfrontiert uns mit einer zersplitterten, einer widersprchlichen Identitt unseres Kontinents.
