Per la polizia non ci sono dubbi: è stato un incidente. Il piccolo Esajas correva sul tetto innevato quando è caduto, rimanendo ucciso. Ma Smilla non è convinta: lei viene dalla Groenlandia, e la neve la conosce bene, sa leggervi le tracce, e ora le impronte del bambino le dicono in modo chiaro che non si è trattato di un incidente... Mentre Copenaghen si prepara a celebrare il Natale, Smilla inizia a investigare, trovandosi pericolosamente a confronto con una serie di inquietanti personaggi, coinvolta in un'indagine destinata a portare lontano, in viaggio su una nave la cui meta misteriosa è un punto deserto della calotta polare. Perché là, fra quei ghiacci che conosce, teme e rispetta, è nascosta la verità di cui Smilla va in cerca. La verità che forse, inconsciamente, ha sempre inseguito.

From the author of Smilla's Sense of Snow, an epic novel about faith and the magic of everyday life.

Told from the precocious perspective of fourteen-year-old Peter, The Elephant Keepers' Children is about three siblings and how they deal with life alongside their eccentric parents. Peter's father is a vicar, his mother is an artisan, and both are equally and profoundly devout. The family lives on the (fictional) island of Finø, where people of all religious faiths coexist peacefully. Yet, nothing is at it seems.
When Peter's parents suddenly go missing, Peter and his siblings fear the worst--has their parents' relentless quest to boost church attendance finally put them in danger? Told with poignancy and humor, The Elephant Keepers' Children is a fascinating exploration of fundamentalism versus spiritual freedom, the vicissitudes of romantic and familial love, and the triumph of the human spirit.

First published in 1992, Smilla's Sense of Snow instantly became an international sensation. When caustic Smilla Jaspersen discovers that her neighbor---a neglected six-year-old boy, and possibly her only friend---has died in a tragic accident, a peculiar intuition tells her it was murder. Unpredictable to the last page, Smilla's Sense of Snow is one of the most beautifully written and original crime stories of our time, a new classic.

'Ho trovato una porta per uscire dalla prigione, una porta che si apre verso la libertà. Scrivo queste pagine per mostrartela.' Comincia così il romanzo di Peter Hoeg. La prigione è ovviamente una metafora, è la vita che non viviamo ma da cui ci lasciamo vivere. A raccontare è Peter, un quattordicenne appassionato di calcio, che vive a Fino, piccola isola di fantasia nell'arcipelago danese, posta nel mezzo del Mare delle Possibilità. Peter è figlio del pastore dell'unica chiesa e la madre è organista, ma i suoi non sono due genitori normali, e ogni tanto, senza preavviso, spariscono nel nulla. Conoscendo la loro tendenza a truffare il prossimo, quando scompaiono per l'ennesima volta lasciandosi alle spalle poche tracce, Peter decide di battere sul tempo la polizia e parte alla ricerca dei genitori per impedire che si mettano definitivamente nei guai, condannando i figli all'orfanotrofio. Con lui ci sono anche il fratello maggiore Hans, che sembra 'nato con ottocento anni di ritardo' tanto il suo animo è cavalleresco, la sorella Tute, incantatrice dalla memoria prodigiosa, e il cane Basker III, tutto sommato il più normale della compagnia. Una vicenda e un romanzo sorprendenti, dal ritmo incalzante, dove i ruoli sono continuamente rovesciati: in una fuga rocambolesca i piccoli inseguitori diventano a loro volta inseguiti.

The first edition was published in 2000, and the second in 2007. Editor John Harper's name has moved to the head of the title for this third edition, and editorial duties were shared by Alan D. Irvine (Trinity College, Ireland), Peter H. Hoeger (U. of Hamburg, Germany), and Albert C. Yan (U. of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, US). This is a massive two-volume set (each volume has more than 1,000 pages), and it contains 192 contributed chapters, arranged logically. Coverage is comprehensive, beginning with a history of the sub-specialty, the newborn, 'napkin' dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, infections, nutritional disorders, and tropical dermatoses, and ending with systemic diseases, psychological aspects, therapeutics and poisoning, surgical and laser therapies, and nursing care of pediatric skin.

Ten years after his internationally acclaimed novel }Miss Smilla's Feeling For Snow{, which sold more than 1.4 million copies and was made into a film starring Gabriel Byrne, Hoeg returns with a new fast-paced philosophical thriller. '}The Quie

E' un romanzo di formazione. L'analisi retrospettiva, da parte del protagonista, del proprio passato di 'quasi adatto', in un ospedale psichiatrico di Copenaghen. E, nel ricordo, la sofferenza per l'emarginazione subita, per la fatica di dover sottostare a un ordine e a delle regole imposte e incomprensibili, si mescolano alla memoria di un tempo infantile e, paradossalmente, felice.

Harvill Panther edition of the bestselling novel involving a tenacious Greenlander with more than a passing interest in snow. When a neighbour's son falls to his death, the tragedy is dismissed as accidental. Smilla, however, knows better. Hail
