A small masterpiece of compression and containment, Peace Talks tells the story of one man&;s grief, the tribulations of the human heart, and our longing for peace.
Edvard Behrends is a highly regarded senior diplomat who has made his reputation as a mediator in international peace negotiations. In his latest post, he has been sent to a resort hotel in the Tyrol. High up on this mountain, the air is bright and clear. When he isn&;t working, Edvard reads, walks, listens to music. He confides in no one&;no one but his wife Anna. Anna, whom he loves with all his heart; Anna, always present and yet forever absent.
Reminiscent of Robert Seethaler&;s work in its formal elegance and emotional heft, of Rachel Cusk&;s novels in the precision and tenacity of its prose, and of David Szalay&;s writing in its abiding preoccupations, Finch&;s new novel is a work of great depth, honesty, wit, beauty, and enduring importance.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Edvard Behrens è uno stimato diplomatico di lungo corso, famoso per il suo lavoro di mediazione nell'ambito dei negoziati di pace internazionali. Grazie ai suoi interventi, atrocità inimmaginabili vengono messe sul tavolo e analizzate con rigore esemplare; confini ancestrali e invisibili, sconvolti e deteriorati dai conflitti, vengono riscritti. Per lavorare al suo ultimo incarico, Edvard soggiorna in un hotel di lusso non meglio specificato in Tirolo. Lì, in alta montagna, respira un'aria pura e incontaminata. Nei momenti di tregua dal lavoro, Edvard legge, passeggia, ascolta musica. La sua unica confidente è la moglie Anna. Anna, il suo grande amore; Anna, sempre al suo fianco, eppure irrimediabilmente assente. 'Colloqui di pace' parla di amore, di dolore, del nostro inalienabile desiderio di pace, e così facendo traccia una topografia dei luoghi più intimi e oscuri dell'animo umano.
