Mark R. Thompson

    8. Juni 1960

    Mark Thompson ist ein britischer Historiker, dessen Werke sich mit den tiefgreifenden Auswirkungen von Konflikten befassen. Seine Schriften zeichnen sich durch eine eingehende Untersuchung menschlichen Leidens, der Kriegspsychologie und der Machtmechanismen aus. Thompson analysiert akribisch, wie Ereignisse durch Manipulation, politischen Druck und Zwangsenttscheidungen geformt werden, und deckt dabei oft die dunkleren Seiten der menschlichen Natur unter extremem Zwang auf. Sein Stil ist analytisch und aufschlussreich, darauf ausgerichtet, Wahrheiten aufzudecken, die unter offiziellen Narrativen verborgen liegen.

    El Greco und ich
    • Es ist der Sommer 1968, J. J. und sein bester Freund Tony 'El Greco' Papadakis sind zehn und unzertrennlich. Ihr geheimes Revier ist der Hafen einer stillgelegten Konservenfabrik – hier können sie unbemerkt geklaute Zigaretten rauchen, den Möwen nachschauen und Pläne für die Zukunft schmieden. Und von dem Tag träumen, an dem sie endlich den gewaltigen Pazifik sehen werden (denn der Atlantik ist im Vergleich nur eine Pfütze). Immer öfter jedoch grätscht die Realität in die jugendlichen Träume; und während eines Roadtrips entlang der Ostküste zeigt sich den Jungen eine bisher ungekannte Seite der USA, die ihren Blick auf das Leben und die Menschen für immer verändert. Woodstock und die erste Mondlandung, Rassenunruhen und der Vietnamkrieg bilden den Hintergrund zu diesem oft unwiderstehlich komischen, zuweilen herzzerreißend traurigen Roman über zwei Freunde, deren große Prüfung erst noch bevorsteht.

      The Gospel to the Nations
    • The Western Front dominates our memories of the First World War. Yet, a million and half men died in North East Italy in a war that need never have happened, when Italy declared war on the Habsburg Empire in May 1915. Led by General Luigi Cadorna, the most ruthless of all the Great War commanders, waves of Italian conscripts were sent charging up the limestone hills north of Trieste to be massacred by troops fighting to save their homelands. This is a great, tragic military history of a war that gave birth to fascism. Mussolini fought in these trenches, but so did many of the greatest modernist writers in Italian and German - Ungaretti, Gadda, Musil, Hemingway. It is through these accounts that Mark Thompson, with great skill and empathy, brings to life this forgotten conflict.
