Arnaldur Indridason returns to the fray with its star character, Erlendur Sveinsson, a police marked by the disappearance of his brother when they were young, living separately and with a little fluid with their children. In Lake Man has to investigate the appearance of a skeleton in Lake Kleifarvatn, discovered an old Soviet radio transmitter attached to the foot. The plot suggests two research: first, to know who the body and, second, find out who the murderer.

For those who do not know enough yet Erlendur police say it's a rather lonely off very similar to Henning Mankell's Kurt Wallander, whose type and characterizations are, especially in this novel, quite similar. The way the plot unfolds in Lake man that makes predictable is coming, allowing the reader to always be ahead of any intrigue. This is especially true because there are unknowns too bright, something that if it happens in other Indridason's novels, but here lies the central weight in a recreation of the weary time of international espionage during the Cold War, a thick succession of gray episodes protracted lack of rhythm reading.

A novel lacks tension and dynamism and boring you can spare some situations, such as those in which the author repeats again and again tirelessly Erlendur the trauma of the disappearance of his brother long ago or the type of relationship has with his sons, even for the reader faces for the first time details Indridason end up being repetitive and, valuing the whole of his work, nothing new about the characters. In addition, the novel is full of pointless dialogue, something unusual in the author, which helps even more to the feeling that the novel is constantly aground.

Tot i that Joan Margarit is a més dels nostres poetes recognized that I was not far or difficult I found a poem rather weak. In this book there are four major issues that were crossed during the entire reading: love, silence, life and time. All, in fact, part of the same reflection and a point of view: the voice of the poet tells us that it has reached the horizon that looks old's death (was not so far away and was not difficult to get there), while beginning to take stock of lived time, the silence and loneliness caused by the different circumstances that exist in love and sexuality

Although poetry is characterized by Margarit accessible to all readers, quite the opposite of complexities in was not far or difficult poems I found where the feelings are too obvious, for my taste, so too explicit. That is, there is little rhetorical game, but it is a very naked and poetry, especially with excessive repetition of ideas. The four main themes recurring throughout the poem and they are present in each piece: slightly different way of saying it, but in essence everything sounds the same: love, old age, death and loneliness over and over time. Indeed, the simplest of these verses is what makes the poems are short messages as decrypted and ready to be included without any effort by the reader. And when in doubt, in these poems Margarit recover reflections already raised (and resolved).

Probably the poem from the back ( Closing the apartment from the beach) is the most interesting is because all and is presented as a piece separate from the rest of the poem. There are no such repetitions and even more importantly what the verses suggest that what they say. In Closing apartment beach , Margarit describes an image, but in reality we are opening the window of a personal world, and presumably dramatic that only we, the readers can imagine. I here is on is to show the millor Margarit.

The boom of detective novels that began in 2008 in Spain by Stieg Larsson made possible by two things: the first was that this genre go from second to first level, the other was the amount of Nordic authors were able to consolidate here (and I say consolidate, because some, like Arnaldur Indridason or Läckberg Camilla and novels were translated in Spain before Larsson).

Precisely one of the books that came here before Men Who Hate Women was marshes of Indridason, published in 2006. However, in 2009 RBA reissued the novel, as if it premiered in Spain, after the success of the Icelandic writer harvested that year with The Woman in Green (which, curiously, was also a repeat, as in 2008 and was published under the title Silent Scream ). In marshes, the police must Erlendur Sveinsson investigate the murder of an elderly man has been found dead in his home because of a hit with an ashtray on his head. Beside the body, a note saying "I am He" makes Sveinsson starts to get the first questions, which will increase when he finds a photograph of a tomb hidden in the bottom of a drawer.

Indridason has become in recent years a safe bet for thousands of readers in Spain and titles such as marshes show why. The plot weakens not at any time, and the more advanced in reading, the more trapped we are: gradually increasing the intrigue and expand the unknowns until the investigations of Erlendur Dando had its Frutos. Indridason consigue esa adentrarnos in Iceland notemos criminal finance that even the smell of putrefaction that sometimes emanates from the story.

Marta Pessarrodona talk back from exile, but this time it does focus on women artists and writers who had to leave Catalonia when the Civil War ended. Although this book has received several accolades and, indeed, is one of the candidates Terenci Moix International Awards in the category of trial (Ana Maria Moix, sister of Terence, was one of those who defended this book through the newspaper Publico ), I must say that for me, purple Exile is a profoundly bad book raised.

Let me explain. First, I see Marta Pessarrodona certain disregard to the reader who is not of their generation or that it has many historical notions literary and like her. The author writes as if there were a reader on the other side, in fact she was quoting all the time without ever explaining who is talking or what you are talking, forcing the reader to be continually looking appendices and that makes very heavy reading. Many times people only talk Pessarrodona quoting the name and without giving many details about who they were and how much she believes, not everyone can continue reading with certain guarantees (especially since some names do not even go to Appendices). An example: on page 105 begins to speak of and JARE until page 110, the author did not occur to him to explain what they mean these acronyms! It was easier to explain (albeit in a footnote) to the same page 105 per put things easier for the reader, knowing that this does not appear in the appendices?

This problem is compounded because the author dispenses with a narrative that, while a trial is necessary to go tying ideas. Pessarrodona prefer to talk about many different things while in a few pages and chapters are not then the next, but each author goes to a completely different topic. Pessarrodona appointment quickly the relationship of women with different institutions to complete in 1939 confirming that they have into exile, but without explaining many features and very little depth on the experiences of each. What do we, then, if not encyclopedic collection that gives us the opportunity to learn the wanderings of the Catalan artists beyond a simple listing of dates and facts?

As if this were not enough, the prose is too warped Pessarrodona and this makes reading even more dense. And a question was really necessary to say so many times "active female presence" or "female visibility? Every time I read "female", it seemed that I refer to the animal world. At the end of the book I feel it is more enlightening appendix the remainder of l'Assaig, i aquesta ja sensation in the vaig tenir l'anterior llibre de Pessarrodona, França 1939: exiled Catalan culture (Ara Llibres). Vaig that neither could finish.

Genre: Novel
540 pages
ISBN: 9788483651568

Following the success of The House of Riverton , Suma de Letras publisher has sought to support the new novel by Australian author Kate Morton The Forgotten Garden . This Nell revolves around a middle-aged woman who decides to travel to Britain to find out why, when he was 4, her caretaker left her in a ship bound for Australia, with no one expecting the other side of globe. After the death of Nell, her granddaughter Cassandra traces the journey of his grandmother and discover the heritage that has left him, he decides to go to the same English town to find out what really happened to her when she was little and how far advanced their research before die.

Morton's narrative style is very reminiscent of the nineteenth century Anglo-Saxon novels, most notably Charles Dickens, especially when re-creates the childhood of the caregiver (here called the Author) then the action moves to 1900 and the adventures of this character to get ahead inevitably refer to the adventures of Oliver Twist (also the child is an orphan and lives gripped by the iron grip of an adult who makes her different meanness to ensure minimal subsistence). The plot unfolds in three narrative lines, which correspond to the lives of three characters of the novel, Cassandra, Nell and the Author. Thus, Morton takes the reader from one to another story that will run in parallel manner without coming to cross at all.

For a thriller to be effective, it is essential that the writer is honest and not mislead the reader through the narrator; that is, where is the expertise of an author whether to introduce plot twists merely the narrator recreate certain scenes to mislead (with their dialogue) and then say that that was not really well but otherwise occurred ? Besides this, which to me is the worst, Cassandra finds tracks with every step, with each speaker and each action that is taking over (even tracks when you get dreams, literally). Nor am I convinced that throughout the novel the narrator forward to the findings of Nell and Cassandra with re-enactments of the family (what grace is to see a character and find out something if he has told me ten Morton pages before?).

flojea The novel also because all the secondary characters with which Cassandra is (some searches and other incidentally) seem to have the same interests that she and everyone knows something about his distant family past, so in a way or another, all fundamental pieces of the puzzle are trying to build the protagonist (chances offered by fiction.) From a stylistic point of view, Morton, as well as abuse of adjectives to describe everything to the smallest detail, click also to outline some of his characters can not be that Nell and Cassandra, who between them there are two generations apart, speak and behave exactly like del mismo modo, porque si a esto añadimos que las dos se relacionan con los mismos personajes y en idénticos espacios, al final queda una pesada sensación de repetición. Hasta la página 350, la novela apuntaba maneras.

Many times I have wondered if Marc Shepherd is aware of the benefits which brought the genre when he published Catalan Poor woman (The Granada / RBA). While Spain landed in the first volume of the trilogy Millennium (2008), by Stieg Larsson, and thus began the boom of detective novels, also featured the work of Mark Shepherd, who represent a revitalization of the genre in Catalonia. Since then, our author has passed on as Larsson, everything that has been published so far has been compared to his work (that of "not bad, but Poor woman ..."). With

The notebook Nicolaas Kleen, James Benavente opens a new door in black literature in Catalan atmosphere and demonstrating an ability to recreate these scenes that recall the style of author Swedish current as Camilla Läckberg. Benavente places the action in Amsterdam and invents a new character, Inspector Batelaar in Marja, who investigated the death, a pension of slums in the city , a young girl that nobody seems to know nothing. Batelaar, police learned with passion for art, rather shy and marked by the murder of his brother, will also investigate the gradual disappearance some of the closest friends of the dead. That and the silence of the little known information that can help make this event one of the most complicated Batelaar.

Benavente proposes a fully networked story without ups and downs, and with well defined characters. Marja Batelaar has enough strength to continue with a series of different titles, and indeed, everything indicates that it will. The quality of the prose, the literary world that builds Benavente in Amsterdam, and especially the fact that the author does not need subplots surface (which in many novels, only serve to fill pages), makes the notebook Nicolaas Kleen door perfect access to a range of Catalan authors, although not so well known or just starting because they have sufficient coverage, call the attention of us all. If we make the effort to know the new names of the genre, we find surprises as good as James Benavente.
