We are already in September. Finally. The only thing left is for the news of the chill to come and the autumn winds begin to blow. So while I wait, I see a few new arrivals coming out this month. 6 titles for diverse readers and tastes: child, youth, historical, narrative or black.
Dynamite man - Henning Mankell
The first novel of the successful and long-awaited Swedish writer of black genre. This was a heartbreaking story, which is still current, about the working class in hard times.
The action takes us to Norrköping, in the Sweden of 1911. The press echoes the death by a tragic accident of a young dynamiter named Oskar johansson produced during the blasting of a tunnel. However, Oskar survived but although he was seriously injured and with tremendous consequences. Nevertheless, kept working until he retired. And he lived until 1969.
Mankell tells this story of Oskar's life through different voices and perspectives. The result is a great fresco of the labor situation in the first half of the XNUMXth century.
The battle for the bridges - Antony Beevor
The British Beevor, possibly the most famous military historian contemporary, he signs another of his war titles for lovers of the genre.
Again on the basis of a huge and precise documentation, used here for the first time, Beevor takes us to 1944 September. Allied troops were advancing through The Netherlands and they were getting ready to cross the Rhine to invade Germany. But in the city of Arnhem the latest German victory seemed to drag out the conflict longer than anticipated.
Beevor masterfully narrates the truth of those days by leaning in diaries and personal testimonies with whom he relives so much the experiences of the military in combat as the story of the sufferings of the inhabitants from Arnhem.
