Beschreibung

In "Bonnie Prince Fetlar," Marshall Saunders weaves a captivating narrative set against the lush backdrop of the Shetland Islands, intertwined with rich historical context and vibrant local culture. The novel is presented in a blend of lyrical prose and regional dialects, creating an authentic voice that brings the characters and their experiences to life. Saunders deftly explores themes of identity, heritage, and the complexities of loyalty as his characters navigate personal aspirations versus communal expectations during a time of social upheaval. Marshall Saunders, a prolific Canadian author and advocate for social justice, drew upon his deep-seated interest in Scotland's cultural history and the plight of its people to craft this poignant tale. His own Scottish heritage, along with his experiences as an activist, informs his writing, allowing him to delicately balance narrative ingenuity with significant social commentary. Thus, "Bonnie Prince Fetlar" emerges not just as a local saga, but as a reflection of broader human experiences in the quest for self-identity and societal belonging. This evocative novel is highly recommended for readers with an interest in historical fiction infused with rich cultural insights. Fans of character-driven tales that delve into the human condition will find themselves engrossed in Saunders' well-crafted world. "Bonnie Prince Fetlar" is a masterful exploration of love, loss, and loyalty that resonates well beyond its local setting.

    The Call From Beyond by Clifford D. Simak - Alone, accursed, he set out on the long, dark voyage to the forbidden gateway to worlds beyond life itself—restless forever with an ultimate knowledge, possessing which no man could die! 
    The pyramid was built of bottles, hundreds of bottles that flashed and glinted as if with living fire, picking up and breaking up the misty light that filtered from the distant sun and still more distant stars. 
    Frederick West took a slow step forward, away from the open port of his tiny ship. He shook his head and shut his eyes and opened them again and the pyramid was still there. So it was no figment, as he had feared, of his imagination, born in the darkness and the loneliness of his flight from Earth. 
    It was there and it was a crazy thing. Crazy because it should not be there, at all. There should be nothing here on this almost unknown slab of tumbling stone and metal. 
    For no one lived on Pluto's moon. No one ever visited Pluto's moon. Even he, himself, hadn't intended to until, circling it to have a look before going on to Pluto, he had seen that brief flash of light, as if someone might be signaling. It had been the pyramid, of course. He knew that now. The stacked-up bottles catching and reflecting light. 
    Behind the pyramid stood a space hut, squatted down among the jagged boulders. But there was no movement, no sign of life. No one was tumbling out of the entrance lock to welcome him. And that was strange, he thought. For visitors must be rare, if, indeed, they came at all. 
    Perhaps the pyramid really was a signaling device, although it would be a clumsy way of signaling. More likely a madman's caprice. Come to think of it, anyone who was sufficiently deranged to live on Pluto's moon would be a fitting architect for a pyramid of bottles.

    In the north of Europe, on the top left-hand tip of a country shaped like a butterfly, lies the Livonian coast: a quiet place with wide sandy beaches, wild forests and not very many people at all.
    If you decide to go there yourself and sit on the edge of a forest, you might see some little creatures moving around, smaller than the elks but bigger than the wild boar and badgers…
    Can you spot prickly Spendthrift, desperately trying to impress her friends? Over by that little house is Hare, preparing buttercup tea and crisp golden waffles for his sailor friend (and prisoner) Wolf, who just wants to be back at sea. And that worried-looking fellow hurrying up the hill is Squishbod – he really does have a skeleton in his cupboard…
    Across nine deeply atmospheric and compelling fairytales, Lilija Berzinska follows the desires and anxieties of a community of mysterious creatures in the north of Latvia, gently exploring their preoccupations and suggesting solutions with resonant empathy and wisdom.
    A Skeleton in the Cupboard won the prestigious Latvian Literary Award of the Year (Children's Category) in 2019, with judges noting: 'Lilija Berzinska's tales ooze warmth and sweetness.'
