Anthony Doerr écrit avec une sensibilité exquise pour les détails et la beauté du monde, même dans ses moments les plus sombres. Sa prose explore des connexions humaines complexes, examinant des expériences profondes avec un accent particulier sur l'empathie et les manières dont nous nous connectons à travers de vastes distances. Les lecteurs sont attirés par sa capacité à créer des images vives et des personnages qui résonnent longtemps après la dernière page. Son œuvre témoigne de la résilience de l'esprit humain et de la recherche de la lumière dans des circonstances qui, autrement, pourraient mener au désespoir.

In this astonishingly assured, exquisitely crafted debut collection, Anthony Doerr takes readers from the African coast to the suburbs of Ohio, from sideshow pageantry to harsh wilderness survival, charting a vast and varied emotional landscape. Like the best storytellers, Doerr explores the human condition in all its manifestations: metamorphosis, grief, fractured relationships, and slowly mending hearts. Most dazzling is Doerr's gift for conjuring nature in both its beautiful abundance and crushing power. Some of his characters contend with tremendous hardship; some discover unique gifts; all are united by their ultimate deference to the mysteries of their respective landscapes.

Set on four continents, stories about memory.
David Winkler begins life in Anchorage, Alaska, a quiet boy drawn to the volatility of weather and obsessed with snow. Sometimes he sees things before they happen—a man carrying a hatbox will be hit by a bus; Winkler will fall in love with a woman in a supermarket. When David dreams that his infant daughter will drown in a flood as he tries to save her, he comes undone. He travels thousands of miles, fleeing family, home, and the future itself, to deny the dream. On a Caribbean island, destitute, alone, and unsure if his child has survived or his wife can forgive him, David is sheltered by a couple with a daughter of their own. Ultimately it is she who will pull him back into the world, to search for the people he left behind.

Історія сліпої французької дівчини та молодого німецького солдата під час Другої світової війни, удостоєна Пулітцерівської премії. Марі-Лор живе зі своїм батьком у Парижі неподалік Музею природної історії. Її батько відповідає за тисячі замків у будівлі музею. У шість років Марі-Лор осліпла, і батько побудував для неї ідеальну модель їхнього району, щоб вона могла запам'ятати вулиці і була здатна знайти дорогу додому. Через шість років Париж окупують нацисти, і батько з дочкою втікають до укріпленого містечка Сен-Мало, де живе у високому будинку біля моря самітній прадідусь Марі. Вони забирають із собою, мабуть, найцінніший і водночас найнебезпечніший коштовний камінь з музейної колекції.

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.
