Peter Høeg Book order (chronological)

Przeszłość przyćmiewa teraźniejszość, a każdy błąd prowadzi do wielkiego grzechu. Klara, młoda policjantka, zmaga się z problemami osobistymi i brakiem akceptacji w pracy, gdy zostaje przydzielona do tajemniczego śledztwa. Jej przełożeni liczą na fiasko, aby pozbyć się jej z komendy. Czy podkomisarz Podolska zdoła rozwikłać zagadkę serii morderstw, jednocześnie walcząc z demonami przeszłości i otwierając się na nowe uczucia? W mrocznych lasach podbrodnickich czai się nieznany zbrodniarz. Odkrycie okaleczonego ciała burzy spokój miasteczka i jego społeczności, w tym skrywającej tajemnice rodziny. Fabuła jest świetnie skonstruowana, a wyraziste postacie oraz wątek kryminalny, mimo ciężkiej tematyki, prowadzone są z lekkością. Historia wciąga i wzbudza dreszcz emocji, a mroczne tajemnice oraz zakazana miłość sprawiają, że zapada w pamięć na długo. Zaskakujące zakończenie i niepewność do ostatniej strony czynią tę opowieść wyjątkową. Gorąco polecam!

Wie wäre es, wenn wir in das Bewusstsein eines anderen schlüpfen könnten? Was sähe ich, wenn ich die Welt durch deine Augen sehen könnte? Simon hat versucht, sich das Leben zu nehmen. Peter will ihm helfen und nimmt Kontakt mit der Therapeutin Lisa auf. Die drei waren einst Kindergartenfreunde, doch daran kann Lisa sich nicht mehr erinnern. Als Forscherin hat Lisa eine Methode gefunden, wie man das Bewusstsein eines Menschen als Hologramm sichtbar machen kann. So will sie Patienten helfen, wieder in eine echte Beziehung zu anderen zu treten. In ihrem Bemühen, den völlig in sich verschlossenen Simon zu retten, kommen sich Peter und Lisa näher. Auch die verschüttete Kindheit steigt wieder vor Lisa auf.

Die Stärkung des Mitgefühls gilt den Autoren dieses Buches als Voraussetzung für eine friedliche Welt des »Miteinander«. Dafür müssen Kinder – und Erwachsene! – wieder den Kontakt zu sich selbst finden, zu ihrem Körper, ihrem Herzen und zu dem Bild, das sie sich von sich selbst machen. Im Anhang finden sich praktische Übungen, die die Empathie von Kindern stärken und ihre Entwicklung in Familie und Schule positiv beeinflussen werden. Für dieses Buch haben sich Europas berühmtester Familientherapeut Jesper Juul und der Bestsellerautor Peter Høeg mit vier weiteren Kinderexperten zusammengetan, um sich zu einer starken Stimme zu vereinen. Entstanden ist ein gemeinsames Manifest für mehr Empathie und Freundlichkeit für den Anderen, unerlässlich für unser globales Zusammenleben.

Per la polizia non ci sono dubbi: è stato un incidente. Il piccolo Esajas correva sul tetto innevato quando è caduto, rimanendo ucciso. Ma Smilla non è convinta: lei viene dalla Groenlandia, e la neve la conosce bene, sa leggervi le tracce, e ora le impronte del bambino le dicono chiaramente che non si è trattato di un incidente... Mentre Copenaghen si prepara a celebrare il Natale, Smilla inizia a indagare, trovandosi pericolosamente a confronto con una serie di inquietanti personaggi, coinvolta in un'indagine destinata a portare lontano, in viaggio su una nave la cui meta misteriosa è un punto deserto della calotta polare. Perché là, fra quei ghiacci che conosce, teme e rispetta, è nascosta la verità che Smilla cerca. La verità che forse, inconsciamente, ha sempre cercato...
