Encyclopedia of Nordic Crime Fiction

Autor: Mitzi M. Brunsdale

Número de Páginas: 572

Since the late 1960s, the novels of Sjowall and Wahloo's Martin Beck detective series, along with the works of Henning Mankell, Hakan Nesser and Stieg Larsson, have sparked an explosion of Nordic crime fiction--grim police procedurals treating urgent sociopolitical issues affecting the contemporary world. Steeped in noir techniques and viewpoints, many of these novels are reaching international audiences through film and television adaptations. This reference guide introduces the world of Nordic crime fiction to English-speaking readers. Caught between the demands of conscience and societal strictures, the detectives in these stories--like the heroes of Norse mythology--know that they and their world must perish, but fight on regardless of cost. At a time of bleak eventualities, Nordic crime fiction interprets the bitter end as a celebration of the indomitable human spirit.

Dictionnaire du roman policier nordique

Autor: Thierry Maricourt

Número de Páginas: 244

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Le roman policier nordique (autrement dit du Danemark, de Finlande, d'Islande, de Norvège et de Suède) semble, aujourd'hui, être à la mode. Mais quels points communs les écrivains recensés dans ce Dictionnaire présentent-ils ? Comment s'inscrivent-ils dans le roman policier et, au-delà, dans la littérature de leur époque ? Quelles perspectives se dégagent de leurs oeuvres ? Au travers de la biographie et de la bibliographie d'auteurs aussi divers que Henning Mankell, Maria Lang, Arnaldur lndridason, Gunnar Staalesen, Karin Fossum, Matti Yrjänä Joensuu, Kjell Eriksson, Leif Davidsen, Camilla Läckberg, sans oublier Stieg Larsson, Maj Sjöwall et Per Wahlöö, et d'autres, tant d'autres, ce livre, qui se veut exhaustif (des origines à nos jours, donc, des écrivains traduits en langue française), s'attache à montrer qu'il existe bel et bien et de manière spécifique un genre que l'on peut nommer le roman policier nordique."

The Consorts of Death

Autor: Gunnar Staalesen

Número de Páginas: 346

'The Norwegian Chandler' Jo Nesbø 'One of my very favourite Scandinavian authors' Ian Rankin 'Staalesen's most striking novel' Independent MORE THAN FIVE MILLION BOOKS SOLD WORLDWIDE September 1995. A phone call takes Verg Veum back 25 years to a case from when he was a working as a child protection officer in the summer of 1970. A small boy was separated from his mother under tragic circumstances, but it didn't end there. In 1974, the same boy surfaced in connection with a sudden death at his new home; and once again, ten years later, after a dramatic double murder in Sunnfjord. The boy is now an adult, on the run in Oslo and determined to take revenge on those responsible for destroying his life - among them Veum, now a private investigator. A chilling series of complex motives, puzzling links and deeply dysfunctional relationships are cleverly drawn together in a stunning plot that will leave you gripped to the final page. The Consorts of Death shows Staalesen at his most thrilling, thought-provoking best. Translated from the Norwegian by Don Bartlett
