Beschreibung
Der Arzt Dorrigo Evans erzählt von der schlimmsten Zeit seines Lebens: Während des 2. Weltkrieges wurde er als Kriegsgefangener der Japaner als Zwangsarbeiter an der berüchtigten Thailand-Burma Eisenbahn eingesetzt. Die Grausamkeit dieser Zeit hat sein Leben und das der wenigen anderen Überlebenden geprägt. Hailed as a masterpiece, Richard Flanagan's epic novel tells the unforgettable story of one man's reckoning with the truth. Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2014!
