Praise for Stella : "Takis Würger is someone out of the ordinary and this book is like him: powerful, strong, painful. Stella is a book from which we do not emerge unscathed and in which he explores the depths of the human soul. I stayed in this book for a long time after turning the final page. Würger is surely one of the most important writers of our generation." --Joël Dicker, New York Times -bestselling author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair "For those who wish to find in history a key to our absolutist present." -- Il Giornale (Italy) "Stella is a book you can hardly put down. You will read it in just a few hours, whatever you might have planned . . . It has a style which in a certain way echoes Hemingway's war reporting--you might call it 'melancholy heroism.' But it reads very well, you can't say otherwise." -- Die Welt (Germany) "Würger avoids any hint of pathos, writing instead in clearly chiseled, artfully sparse sentences . . . It is the escalating state of emergency that explains everything in this slimmed down, concise novel." -- Abendzeitung München (Germany) Praise for The Club : "The gritty subject matter is juxtaposed against a prose style we tend to associate with a different kind of novel--it reads more like a coming-of-age story than a thriller. Würger's writing is mannered; it often has an otherworldly, fable-like quality." --Adelle Waldman, New York Times Book Review "Würger's debut was a bestseller in his native Germany. Its universal themes, brilliantly depicted world and taut storytelling constitute a recipe for further success . . . The Club starts out as a poignant coming-of-age tale and then morphs into an intelligent, fast-paced thriller that scrutinizes class divides and gender imbalance . . . Würger serves up visceral thrills with boxing bouts. But he delivers real knockout blows as Hans goes deeper undercover and learns 'what humans are at heart: predators.'" --Malcolm Forbes, Minneapolis Star Tribune "A timely, beautifully paced novel about class and prestige in the #MeToo era . . . In a campus novel that echoes the detective structure of Donna Tartt's The Secret History , Würger cycles between each character's voice to brilliantly evoke the medieval unreality of Cambridge and the almost comical wealth of the students. There is much to dissect in this concise and dramatic tale." -- Booklist "A young man infiltrates a secret university club and discovers a dangerous secret . . . The club is full of rich, privileged young men well-versed in secrets, debauchery, and something far more sinister . . . The novel's complicated ending touches on the problem of justice and redemption: who gets it, who deserves it, and its human cost. A sparse, cutting debut in which violence begets violence begets healing." -- Kirkus Reviews "Distinguished German journalist Würger, who broke some bones boxing for a year at Cambridge, offers a powerful and provoking story." -- Library Journal "A cunning, sinuous tale, Takis Würger's The Club is so wildly entertaining that, at first, it's easy to miss its deeper mysteries. But, as it unfolds, brutal truths about class and gender and violence emerge, take hold and shudder through the novel's final pages." --Megan Abbott, best-selling author of Give Me Your Hand and You Will Know Me " The Club , Takis Würger's exquisite debut, is a novel as rare as a phoenix, a story both beautifully told and white-knuckle thrilling. A tale of pain, privilege and revenge, The Club reads like something both mythical and modern, a fable whose pages demand to be turned." --Christopher J. Yates, author of Black Chalk and Grist Mill Road, Praise for Stella : "Takis Würger is someone out of the ordinary and this book is like him: powerful, strong, painful.

Würger is surely one of the most important writers of our generation." --Joël Dicker, New York Times -bestselling author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair "I was somewhat skeptical when I began this book, but it gripped and surprised me, and by the end I was full of admiration." --Daniel Kehlmann, International Booker Prize-shortlisted author of Tyll "For those who wish to find in history a key to our absolutist present." -- Il Giornale (Italy) "Stella is a book you can hardly put down.

Synopsis
From the internationally bestselling author of The Club comes a gripping historical novel of love and betrayal, set in wartime Berlin In 1942, Friedrich, an even-keeled but unworldly young man, arrives in Berlin from bucolic Switzerland with dreams of becoming an artist. At a life drawing class, he is hypnotized by the beautiful model, Kristin, who soon becomes his energetic yet enigmatic guide to the bustling and cosmopolitan city. Kristin teaches the naive Friedrich how to take care of himself in a city filled with danger, and brings him to an underground jazz club where they drink cognac, dance, and kiss. The war feels far away to Friedrich as he falls in love with Kristin, the pair cocooned inside their palatial rooms at the Grand Hotel, where even Champagne and fresh fruit can be obtained thanks to the black market. But as the months pass, the mood in the city darkens yet further, with the Nazi Party tightening their hold on everyday life of all Berliners, terrorizing anyone who might be disloyal to the Reich. Kristin's loyalties are unclear, and she is not everything she seems, as his realizes when one frightening day she comes back to Friedrich's hotel suite in tears, battered and bruised. She tells him an astonishing secret: that her real name is Stella, and that she is Jewish, passing for Aryan. Fritz comforts her, but he soon realizes that Stella's control of the situation is rapidly slipping out of her grasp, and that the Gestapo have an impossible power over her. As Friedrich confronts Stella's unimaginable choices, he finds himself woefully unprepared for the history he is living through. Based in part on a real historical character, Stella sets a tortured love story against the backdrop of wartime Berlin, and powerfully explores questions of naivete, young love, betrayal, and the horrors of history., From the internationally bestselling author of The Club comes a gripping historical novel of love and betrayal, set in wartime Berlin

- a***o (49)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem is as described in post, great quality, clean, not damaged, great purchase. I'd like to point out that it was also shipped promptly, arrived on time, but the local post office refused to send me any notification of it arriving. Therefore I only got it today, almost a month late. The seller is at no fault, they shipped it on time. So I am highly satisfied with my purchase and the seller, highly recommend them for anyone on Ebay. Great books at great prices, amazing experience.
