Between Two Poles
This travel book is by the author of A Hundred Days Between Sky and Sea. This is Klink's account of a figure-of-eight solo voyage from Brazil to the South Pole, across to Cape Town; then up to the North Pole and finally, after 22 months at sea, back to Brazil.
Diary of the Fall
A powerful and heartbreaking novel about love, guilt and memory -- and the stories we choose to tell about ourselves and each other. 'I often dreamed about the moment of the fall, a silence that lasted a second, possibly two, a room full of sixty people and no one making a sound, as if everyone were waiting for my classmate to cry out... but he lay on the ground with his eyes closed.' A schoolboy prank goes horribly wrong, and a thirteen-year-old boy is left injured. Years later, one of the classmates relives the episode as he tries to come to terms with his demons. Diary of the Fall is the story of three generations: a man examining the mistakes of his past, and his struggle for forgiveness; a father with Alzheimer's, for whom recording every memory has become an obsession; and a grandfather who survived Auschwitz, filling notebook after notebook with the false memories of someone desperate to forget. Beautiful and brave, Michel Laub's novel asks the most basic -- and yet most complex -- questions about history and identity, exploring what stories we choose to tell about ourselves and how we become the people we are."
