Down Old Roads
"This is the E8," my father said. "It runs from London to Moscow."
For a million years people have been travelling throughout Europe, from the mysterious homo antecessor who left his footprints on the coast of England to travellers on the motorways of today. Under every footstep lies an older one, under every paved road a donkey trail or wagon rut, under every footpath the prints of a hunter or his prey.
And yet the long, nation-spanning roads of Europe don't hold a special place in the imaginations and identities of its residents. No classic songs have been written about the E8, the way Americans have written about Route 66. Are Europeans too attached to their own home patch? Or have they too often seen armies marching towards them along those roads?
Eager to answer that question, Mathijs Deen goes in search of the warriors, refugees, bandits, pilgrims, fortune-seekers, conquerors and racers who advanced into history along the roads of Europe. From Boekelo in the Netherlands to Smolensk on the Dnieper, and from the first prehistoric Europeans to the barons who raced the open roads of Europe in the early 20th century, Down Old Roads is both a journey through Europe and a trip through time.
"It's easy to be swept away by Deen's delightful prose" New Statesman on The Boundless River
Translated from the Dutch by Jane Hedley-Prole and Jonathan Reeder
Nagytakarítás
Itt a nyár, és zajlik az Edinburghi Fesztivál. A látogatók épp sorban állnak, hogy bejussanak egy rádióműsor felvételére, amikor szemtanúi lesznek egy koccanásnak, amely erőszakhoz, sőt majdnem gyilkossághoz vezet.
Az eset minden érintett életét felforgatja; a korábban katonaként, rendőrként és magánnyomozóként is dolgozó Jackson Brodie nem több ártatlan kívülállónál – mégis gyanúsítottá válik egy gyilkossági ügyben. Miközben sokasodnak a holttestek, és a különálló történetek szép lassan összefonódnak, a szereplők kapcsolódásai, mint egy matrjoskababa részei, beépülnek egymás életébe. Mindannyian szeretetre, pénzre, megváltásra vagy menekülésre vágynak, ám végső soron az igazi énjükkel szembesülnek.
