Indridason targets the underlying tensions in Iceland's multicultural society when the young son of a Thai immigrant is murdered. The murder reminds Erlendur of a tragedy in his own childhood and fleshed out more of his life story and what has made him so unsociable. I found the police investigation and interview techniques slow, almost to the point of incompetence, but the ending delivered some activity. Overall, it provides a snapshot of modern Iceland but as a mystery novel it's less than what I expect from Indridason. ( ) En enero, el implacable invierno islandés se adueña por completo de la isla. Elias, un niño de diez años, ha aparecido apuñalado cerca de su casa y en estado de congelación. La víctima del homicidio es el hijo de una inmigrante tailandesa que trabaja duro para mantener a su familia desde que su marido islandés les abandonó. El inspector Erlendur Sveinsson y sus inseparables ayudantes Sigurdur Óli y Elínborg son los encargados de llevar a cabo la desagradable tarea de resolver un asesinato en el que no faltan sospechosos. Erlendur y sus compañeros se verán obligados a ahondar en el pasado de la familia y a sumergirse en las profundidades de la sociedad islandesa. Un garçon thaïlandais est assassiné: racisme, affaire de drogues, malchance? Erlendur et son équipe piétinent. L'enquête est longue et pénible, certainement davantage à l'image de réalité qu'aux séries sensationnalistes. Ainsi l'histoire est-elle lente, mais également ponctuée du quotidien: disputes de couple, relations difficiles, souvenirs qui hantent... tous des détails qui soulignent l'affaire irrésolue et mettent en lumière certains de ses aspects. La traduction est parfois boiteuse, surtout dans les dialogues, mais on perçoit tout de même la société islandaise, en pleine mutation. Une lecture lente mais satisfaisante. This is the 1st Inspector Erlendur novel I have read. Set in Iceland a little boy called Elias half Thai has been found murdered, his older brother Niran is missing. Erlenedur and his team are desperate to find the missing brother. The Police question everyone from the School and Neighbourhood. They think it might be a Racist attack. Erleneedur has his own demons he cant forget about the time when he was young him and his brother got lost in a blizzard. His Brother has never been found. It turns out it was 3 young boys from Elias school who stabbed him then the Parents tried to cover it up. Good book this well written and flows nicely.
Is there such a thing as a perfect crime-fiction novel? Probably not, but if there were, this would surely be a strong contender. Arnaldur Indridason's latest novel in the Inspector Erlendur series continues the upward trend in quality, confidence and storytelling that I have come to hope for, even dare to expect, with each new outing. Tragically, Indridason's translator, Bernard Scudder died before he had completed work on ARCTIC CHILL, but Victoria Cribb has stepped in and the result seems to be a seamless one....This author is brilliant at speaking to the reader at the level at which the reader desires, so one can either ignore the economically presented character studies and get on with the plot, or revel in them and find further insight behind the sparse prose. For me, this author understands internal suffering all too well, and can convey the sadness of daily life in a dispassionate yet empathetic way. The books of Icelandic crime writer Arnaldur Indridason may seem esoteric, but this is a situation that is fast changing. A film adaptation of his Jar City has won rave reviews, and UK bookselling chains are promoting crime in translation...An opaque Icelandic police procedural that's all shades of grey... ...may well be the most thoroughly depressing of all the gloomy police procedurals coming out of those cold lands near the Arctic Circle. But since the storyteller is Arnaldur Indridason, this Icelandic tale is delivered with exquisite sensitivity, in a moody translation... Premi e riconoscimenti
On an icy January day, the Reykjavik police are called to a block of flats where a body has been found in the garden: a young, dark-skinned boy, frozen to the ground in a pool of his own blood. The discovery of a stab wound in his stomach extinguishes any hope that this was a tragic accident. Erlendur and his team embark on their investigation with little to go on but the news that the boy's Thai half-brother is missing. Is he implicated, or simply afraid for his own life? The investigation soon unearths tensions simmering beneath the surface of Iceland's outwardly liberal, multicultural society. The boy's murder forces Erlendur to confront a tragedy in his own past. Soon, facts are emerging from the snow-filled darkness that are more chilling even than the Arctic night. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
