Alles Licht, das wir nicht sehen von Anthony Doerr– Ein Roman über Würde im Nebel von Krieg und Schuld - Buchrezension
„Alles Licht, das wir nicht sehen“ (All the Light We Cannot See, 2014) von Anthony Doerr ist kein Kriegsabenteuer, sondern eine präzise Menschengeschichte: Wie trifft man Entscheidungen, wenn Strukturen einen in Rollen pressen – Täter, Opfer, Zuschauer? Der Roman erhielt 2015 den Pulitzer-Preis für Belletristik und erzählt parallel von Marie-Laure LeBlanc, einer blinden Pariserin, und Werner Pfennig, einem deutschen Waisenjungen mit außergewöhnlichem technischem Talent. Doerr macht daraus keinen ...

Was für eine phantasievoll verwobene Geschichte und was für eine tolle Sprache. Meine klare Leseempfehlung
FrancescaJI mostly keep track of books on #StoryGraph so I was a little surprised after finishing All The Light We Cannot See by #AnthonyDoerr that of all the people who answered ‘Flaws of characters a main focus’ only 38% said Yes 🤔 I mean Werner is a complex sympathetic character but the ways he is complicit in Nazism is a major driver of the plot. If that ain’t a character flaw I don’t know what is! Nevertheless that complexity is part of why it’s a great book that avoids cliche @bookstodon
RanaldClouston#FinishedReading this rather large novel of interlocking stories, set in 15th century Constantinople, 20th-21st century Idaho, and aboard a spaceship fleeing a ruined Earth, bound together by the characters' fascination with a half-preseved Ancient Greek comedy. I didn't love the whole book - the character of Seymour never rang true to me - but it does wrap together beautifully in the end. #Bookstodon @bookstodon #AnthonyDoerr
LILOLIAThe Pulitzer Prizes are awarded in a number of categories, which are worth exploring. Here, I’ll only be sharing the fiction and non fiction winners.
Fiction Winner
All The Light We Cannot See is a beautiful book and it was a highlight of my 2014 reading. You can read my review.
All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
‘Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When Marie-Laure is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.‘ GoodReads
Non Fiction Winner
There’s been a lot of buzz around this book and it’s easy to see why…this time it’s not an asteroid’s fault, it’s ours.
The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolbert
‘Over the last half-billion years, there have been five mass extinctions, when the diversity of life on earth suddenly and dramatically contracted. Scientists around the world are currently monitoring the sixth extinction, predicted to be the most devastating extinction event since the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. This time around, the cataclysm is us.‘ GoodReads

KE0FFTI’m listening to the #AllTheLightWeCannotSee #AudioBook by #AnthonyDoerr on #Audible now, and it’s fantastic. This’ll give you an idea of how much more detailed the book is. There’s a memorable scene about 14mins into the first episode of the series. The show so far basically follows the outline in the book. That same moment doesn’t occur in the audio version until almost 4hrs in. #AudibleBooks
