Penguin Random House, Belletristik, The Discovery of Slowness (Englisch, Sten Nadolny, 1997)
23,76 €
In The Discovery of Slowness, German novelist Sten Nadolny recounts the life of the nineteenth-century British explorer Sir John Franklin (1786-1847). The reader follows Franklin's development from awkward schoolboy and ridiculed teenager to expedition leader, governor of Tasmania, and icon of adventure. Everyone with whom he came into contact sensed that he was a rare man, one who was &ldquo out of his time&rdquo and who moved to a different, grander beat. That beat eventually led Franklin to sail once more&mdash on his final, fateful voyage&mdash into the Arctic in search of the Northwest Passage. The Discovery of Slowness is both a riveting account of a remarkable and varied life, and a profound and thought-provoking meditation on time.
