He Lover of Death
Historischer Krimi von Boris Akunin
Senka Skorikov, orphan and urchin, has been abandoned to the murky world of Moscow’s gangster district. While picking a pocket or two, he glimpses the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, and joins the gang of her overlord lover, The Prince, so desperate he is to meet her. Senka climbs the criminal ranks, uncovering a stash of precious metal, and gradually capturing the heart of his beloved Death – so named for the life expectancy of her lovers.
Boris Akunin, geb. 1956, ist ein russischer Japanologe, Literaturwissenschaftler, Übersetzer und Kriminalschriftsteller georgischer Abstammung, der in den 1990er Jahren zum führenden Genreautor in Russland wurde. “This is a beautifully plotted story, and utterly absorbing. Akunin makes the period which is the setting for the book come to life before your eyes, and you really understand the characters‘ motivations.” (Leser) (9 Rezensionen / 4,7 Sterne), 281 Seiten noch günstig?
