September 2006Dritte Fluggeschwindigkeit
Roman
by Lotta Lotass, Sabine Neumann
Erreicht ein Raumschiff die dritte Fluggeschwindigkeit von 16,6 km/Sekunde, kann es das Sonnensystem verlassen und weiterfliegen zu anderen Welten. Vom sowjetischen 'Kosmodrom' Baikanur startet 1961 die erste bemannte Raumkapsel ins All. An Bord: Juri Gagarin, Held Nr. 11.175 der Sowjetunion. Einfühlsam und sehr poetisch verknüpft Lotta Lotass Mythen und Fakten zu einem Roman über den großen Pionier der Raumfahrt. Sie erzählt von seiner Kindheit in der Kälte Sibiriens, von der Besessenheit des jungen Kosmonauten, von den Sehnsüchten und Träumen, von Schrecken und Angst des Auserwählten. Aber auch die Männer an Gagarins Seite läßt Lotass zur Sprache kommen und schafft auf diese Weise eine vielstimmige Erzählung über Triumphe, Niederlagen und menschliche Tragödien. Dritte Fluggeschwindigkeit ist ein fesselnder Roman über den Beginn der Raumfahrt, über Entdeckungsreisende, die in ihrer Sehnsucht nach der Erforschung anderer Welten an ihre Grenzen stoßen.

April 2012Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte
Roman
by Roy Jacobsen, Gabriele Haefs
Alles ändert sich im Leben des zehnjährigen Finn, als plötzlich seine kleine Halbschwester Linda mutterseelenallein vor der Tür steht – mit einem himmelblauen Koffer und jeder Menge emotionalem Sprengstoff … Es ist das Jahr 1961 – das Jahr, in dem John F. Kennedy Präsident wird, Gagarin in den Weltraum fliegt und der Bau der Berliner Mauer beginnt. Finn wächst in einer schmucklosen Vorstadt von Oslo auf, das Leben ist einfach und sozialdemokratisch. Er ist ein schmächtiger Junge, aber vielleicht der Klügste seiner Klasse. Wacker schlägt er sich mit seiner Mutter durch den Alltag, seit der Vater gestorben ist. Bis eines Tages die kleine Linda Einzug hält: Die Sechsjährige wirkt merkwürdig, pummelig ist sie, abwesend und schweigsam. Auch die Mutter, der einstige Fels in der Brandung, ist anders als sonst. Für Finn beginnt ein Sommer, den er nie vergessen wird … »Der Sommer, in dem Linda schwimmen lernte« ist ein Familienroman voller Wärme und Magie und eine ergreifende Geschichte über die große Macht des Kleinen.

What the Pines See
by Anna Soudakova
A strong debut novel about Stalin’s atrocities and the importance of memories. The novel, which tells about five generations, intertwines the persecution of Stalin, the childhood of Uzbekistan and the everyday life of immigrants. In 1936, Yuri celebrates his fifth birthday in Leningrad without knowing that by the end of the summer, his world would fall apart. There is a knock on the door at night, and men in grey uniforms take his father away. Soon his mother is imprisoned as well. Yuri and his sister stay with their grandparents, but when the grandparents pass away the children are sent to an orphanage in distant Uzbekistan. After the siege of Leningrad, the siblings stand at the door of their Leningrad home and learn that as children of enemies of the state they have no future in Soviet Union. The tenacious Yuri still struggles forward and has a family with whom he moves to Finland after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Immigrant life is full of ups and downs, but Yuri can never let go of his past. He has to find out what really happened to his parents. A search that will eventually take him to the mass graves of Sandarmokh. Soudakova’s magnificent and melancholic novel depicts the life of Yuri and his descendants from 1936 to the present day. The gloom of life under the Stalinist regime and the dull greyness of socialism are in complete conflict with its ideals. Soudakova’s fine poetic language makes the contradiction feel even more severe. The cruelty of power, the fragility of humanity, and the thirst for life go hand in hand in an episodically progressive narrative. The pines of Sandarmokh see extreme horror but also almost touch the sky.
