Publisher's summary

Die Autorin liest ihre Geschichte: von einem Haus am See - und wie ein ganzes Jahrhundert in ihm wütet.

Ein Haus an einem märkischen See: Es ist der Schauplatz für fünfzehn Lebensläufe, Geschichten, Schicksale von den Zwanzigerjahren bis heute. Das Haus und seine Bewohner erleben die Weimarer Republik, das Dritte Reich, den Krieg und dessen Ende, die DDR, die Wende und die Zeit der Nachwende. Jedem einzelnen Schicksal gibt Jenny Erpenbeck eine eigene literarische Form, jedes entfaltet auf ganz eigene Weise seine Dramatik, seine Tragik, sein Glück. Alle zusammen bilden ein Panorama des letzten Jahrhunderts, das verstört, beglückt, verunsichert und versöhnt.

Die Autorin Jenny Erpenbeck liest ihren eindrucksvollen, poetisch verdichteten Roman selbst - ein Hörerlebnis höchster Intensität.

Powerful literary voice

The art of economy. Lyrical prose. Intimate. Language an antidote of clichee and melodrama. A highly talented writer.

Amazing reading by the author

Mesmerizing story of a place — a lake house in Brandenburg—, read with amazing precision by the author herself.

Awful narration!

How much more I would have enjoyed this book with a good narrator! It’s rare that authors are good narrators. Why not make use of trained actors?
