Paperback. Condizione: New. On violence, crime, guilt and atonement. We meet our narrator in an underground office where he sharpens pencils, shreds paper, makes coffee for the other employees and thinks over and over about a late night that he has been trying to forget for a long time. In between the meaningless work, he manages to scratch down some names and phrases, and conjures up a dream from 1980s Hadeland. In this saga, Hadeland is a shadow home where spooks, ghosts, angels and robot-like creatures are just as natural as animals and flesh and blood humans. But what happened that late summer night? What is it that the narrator has tried to forget? And who is this Calf, who was "killed to death"? Our narrator takes readers in circles through different events, times and places; a whirlwind in which the calf and other characters are like prisoners in a tornado from Dante's Inferno. The Calf is a peasant story, a western novel, a dream quatrain, an adventure, science fiction and a black comedy about violence, crime, guilt and atonement.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In Leif Høghaugs Roman »Der Kälberich« wird der namenlose, an Körper und Seele versehrte Ich-Erzähler von einer geheimnisvollen Frau in eine unterirdische Firma geschickt, in der er fortan Papier makulieren und Bleistifte spitzen muss. Weil diese Arbeit alles ist, nur nicht sinnvoll, flüchtet er sich in seine Erinnerungen an eine vierzig Jahre zurückliegende Spätsommernacht, die mit einer schrecklichen Tat endete: Auf der Suche nach dem Mörderheinrich brettern Andy, Apfelpaule, Knochenklapperroger, Knutsprutz und der Erzähler durch das norwegische Hadeland, wo es von Wiedergängern, Engeln und Cowboys nur so wimmelt. Werden die fünf Desperados ihre Begegnung mit dem fiesen Mörderheinrich und dessen Kuhherde überstehen Wer von ihnen wird die schöne Helene bekommen Und was ist eigentlich an den wilden Geschichten über diesen Kälberich dran Zwischen Gegenwart und Vergangenheit, Western, Sci-Fi und Mystery hin und her springend, erzählt Leif Høghaug eine rabenschwarze Komödie über Verbrechen und Strafe.Verfasst im norwegischen Hadelandsdialekt, aber zu keinem Zeitpunkt unlesbar oder gar obskur, ist »Der Kälberich« nicht nur eine Geschichte über die Verwerfungen des modernen Arbeitslebens, sondern auch eine rasante Erzählung über toxische Männlichkeitsbilder, Schuld und Versehrtheit; das Publikum macht sich zusammen mit dem Protagonisten auf eine spannungsgeladene Suche nach den Gründen für dessen Trauma.Aus dem Norwegischen übersetzt hat Matthias Friedrich. …
