Críticas
"Mankell writes lead travel feature on Mozambique, credits novel" (Guardian)
"Henning Mankell reviews the new John le Carre (Daniel is credited)" (Saturday Telegraph Review)
"4*, It's an acutely observed and slow-burning psychological thriller, written with Mankell's typically detached prose, making the violently tragic end all the more powerful." (Big Issue Scotland)
"Mankell pulls no punches in this bleak but brilliant examination of misguided humanism." (Metro)
"3*, Many a crime writer has been cast adrift after retiring a signature character but there was never any danger of that with Mankell. He was always, above all, a consummate novelist. [...] a powerfully involving and uncompromising novel about the loss of childhood and innocence." (Daily Express)
Reseña del editor
In 1875 Hans Bengler, a young entomologist, leaves Sweden for the expedition of a lifetime to the Kalahari Desert where he hopes to find a previously undiscovered insect to name after himself and advance his career. Instead, after his long and arduous journey through the sands, he finds a small boy, whose tribe has been decimated by European raiders.
Accustomed to collecting specimens, Bengler decides to adopt the boy and names him Daniel. He takes the traumatised child home with him to Sweden and plans to 'civilise' him. But Daniel cannot slip into an alien culture, and a new life in the cold and snow, so easily. He yearns desperately for the desert and his real family, who visit him in his dreams. His only consolation comes from his friendship with a vulnerable young girl called Sanna, who is also an outsider in her community. But even this bond is destined to be violently broken, as Daniel's isolation and increasing desperation lead to a chilling tragedy.
As well as an acute psychological depiction of the extraordinary life of a child thrown into extraordinary circumstances, in Daniel the acclaimed writer Henning Mankell also gives us a compelling and disturbing story of the dangerous gaps and misunderstandings that can exist between individuals and cultures.
