David Liss

    1. Jänner 1966

    Dieser Autor taucht mit fesselnder Detailgenauigkeit in historische Perioden ein und verortet seine Erzählungen häufig in geschäftigen Umgebungen wie dem London des 18. Jahrhunderts und dem Amsterdam des 17. Jahrhunderts. Seine Werke erforschen das Leben einzigartiger Charaktere, die sich am Rande der Gesellschaft bewegen, von einem ehemaligen Preisboxer und nunmehrigen Schergen bis hin zu einem Kaffeiehändler. Die Fähigkeit des Autors, spannende Handlungsstränge mit reichhaltigem historischen Kontext und ethischen Dilemmata zu verbinden, deckt sowohl gegenwärtige als auch vergangene Herausforderungen auf.
