Story
A Treacherous Paradise sees Henning Mankell turn his talents for writing gripping thrillers to a world where power and powerlessness meet and passion is a dangerous commodity. Hanna Lundmark escapes the brutal poverty of rural Sweden for a job as a cook onboard a steamship headed for Australia. Jumping ship at the African port of Lourenço Marques, Hanna decides to begin her life afresh. Stumbling across what she believes to be a down-at-heel hotel, Hanna becomes embroiled in a sequence of events that lead to her inheriting the most successful brothel in town.

Und plötzlich sieht sich Welin nicht nur mit dem Verdacht des Versicherungsbetrugs konfrontiert, er muss sich auch der Frage stellen, ob es mit beinahe siebzig Jahren überhaupt noch möglich ist, neu anzufangen.

Story
Mankells Debütroman erstmals auf Deutsch. "Oskar. Ein lustiger Alter, der in einer alten Militärsauna wohnt. Er winkt immer, wenn man vorbeifährt. Er hat nur eine Hand und ein Auge." Als junger Mann wird der Sprengmeister Oskar Johansson bei einer fehlgeleiteten Zündung schwer verletzt. Seine Freundin verlässt ihn, und so heiratet er ihre Schwester und führt ein bescheidenes, entbehrungsreiches Leben. Trotz seiner Verwundung kehrt Oskar in seinen Beruf zurück. Er wird politisch aktiv und glaubt an eine Revolution, die nie kommt. Schon in seinem Debütroman, den er mit Anfang 20 schrieb, zeigt sich Mankell als politischer Schriftsteller, dessen Anliegen heute aktueller scheinen denn je.
