Inhaltsangabe
By the side of a lake in Brandenburg, a young architect builds the house of his dreams - a summerhouse with wrought-iron balconies, stained-glass windows the colour of jewels, and a bedroom with a hidden closet, all set within a beautiful garden. But the land on which he builds has a dark history of violence that began with the drowning of a young woman in the grip of madness and that grows darker still over the course of the century: the Jewish neighbours disappear one by one; the Red Army requisitions the house, burning the furniture and trampling the garden; a young East German attempts to swim his way to freedom in the West; a couple return from brutal exile in Siberia and leave the house to their granddaughter, who is forced to relinquish her claim upon it and sell to new owners intent upon demolition. Reaching far into the past, and recovering what was lost and what was buried, Jenny Erpenbeck tells a story both beautiful and brutal, about the things that haunt a home.

Zustand: Muy bueno. : En las afueras de Berlín, a orillas de un lago en Brandeburgo, un joven arquitecto construye la casa de sus sueños: una casa de verano con balcones de hierro forjado, vidrieras de colores y un dormitorio con un armario escondido, todo ello en un hermoso jardín. Pero la tierra sobre la que construye tiene una oscura historia de violencia que comenzó con el ahogamiento de una joven en las garras de la locura y que se oscurece aún más a lo largo del siglo: los vecinos judíos desaparecen uno a uno; el Ejército Rojo requisa la casa, quemando los muebles y pisoteando el jardín; un joven de Alemania Oriental intenta nadar hacia la libertad en Occidente; una pareja regresa de un brutal exilio en Siberia y deja la casa a su nieta, que se ve obligada a renunciar a su derecho sobre ella y a venderla a nuevos propietarios con la intención de demolerla. Alcanzando un pasado lejano y recuperando lo perdido y lo enterrado, Jenny Erpenbeck cuenta una historia hermosa y brutal sobre las cosas que acechan en un hogar.
