Condition: Wie neu. Taschenbucherstausgabe. 267 (5) Seiten. 18,9 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Lübbeke Naumann Thoben. Lesetipp des Bouquinisten! Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. »Der unabhängige Buchhandel hat diesen wunderbar poetischen Roman über die Begegnung eines jungen Mannes mit einer verschrobenen Alten zum Buch des Jahres gewählt. Hochverdient!« FOCUS. Eine zeitlose und geradezu zärtliche Geschichte über die Bedeutung und Kraft menschlicher Beziehungen. Der junge Robert weiß schon früh, dass er wie alle Männer seiner Familie Bergarbeiter sein wird. Dabei ist ihm Enge ein Graus. Er liebt Natur und Bewegung, sehnt sich nach der Weite des Meeres. Daher beschließt er kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, sich zum Ort seiner Sehnsucht, der offenen See, aufzumachen. Fast am Ziel angekommen, lernt er eine ältere Frau kennen, die ihn auf eine Tasse Tee in ihr leicht heruntergekommenes Cottage einlädt. Eine Frau wie Dulcie hat er noch nie getroffen: unverheiratet, allein lebend, unkonventionell, mit sehr klaren und für ihn unerhörten Ansichten zu Ehe, Familie und Religion. Aus dem Nachmittag wird ein längerer Aufenthalt, und Robert lernt eine ihm vollkommen unbekannte Welt kennen. In den Gesprächen mit Dulcie wandelt sich sein von den Eltern geprägter Blick auf das Leben. Als Dank für ihre Großzügigkeit bietet er ihr seine Hilfe rund um das Cottage an. Doch als er eine wild wuchernde Hecke stutzen will, um den Blick auf das Meer freizulegen, verbietet sie das barsch. Ebenso ablehnend reagiert sie auf ein Manuskript mit Gedichten, das Robert findet. Gedichte, die Dulcie gewidmet sind, die sie aber auf keinen Fall lesen will. »Soo ungeheuer geistreich, lustig, traurig und warmherzig, wie man es selten in einem Buch findet. Von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Die ist übrigens die traurigste und schönste letzte Seite, die ich seit langem gelesen habe.« Michael Wirbitzky, SWR3. - BENJAMIN MYERS, geboren 1976, ist Journalist und Schriftsteller. Myers hat nicht nur Romane, sondern auch Sachbücher und Lyrik geschrieben. Für seine literarischen Arbeiten hat er mehrere Preise erhalten. Sein Roman Offene See (DuMont 2020) stand wochenlang auf der SPIEGEL-Bestsellerliste und wurde mit dem Preis des unabhängigen Buchhandels als Lieblingsbuch des Jahres ausgezeichnet. 2021 erschien Der perfekte Kreis (DuMont). Er lebt mit seiner Frau in Nordengland. -- ULRIKE WASEL und KLAUS TIMMERMANN, beide 1955 geboren, haben Anglistik in Düsseldorf studiert. Seither arbeiten sie als Übersetzerteam und haben u. a. Dave Eggers, Tana French, Andre Dubus III., Harper Lee, Jeanette Walls, Zadie Smith und Delia Owens ins Deutsche übertragen. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 297 Taschenbuch. Kartoniert mit Leinenkaschierung, gold- und blaugeprägten Rücken- und Deckeltiteln und Dreiseitenfarbschnitt. Seller Inventory # 77103
