FOREIGN DEUTICKE RIGHTS In the spring of 1946, in the sleepy little Bulgarian town of Widin, the floodwaters of the Danube break over the banks, just as they always do around the time of the cherry tree blossom. But apart from that, nothing is as it used to be: Bulgaria is now a people’s republic. Anyone who had sided with the Germans and not fled to safety before the invasion of the Russians is now being attended to by the torturers of the new regime. Agitators roam the villages, disseminating leaflets about the new way of life. Krum Marijkin, the illegitimate son of porcelain manufacturer Ilija Weltschew, is one of them. It’s hard to say which is more pronounced – his muscles or his resolve to convert everyone to socialism, the one and only true faith. His cousin, erstwhile underground fighter Assen Weltschew, is also offered a career opportunity – but ultimately he is not unscrupulous enough to exploit it. Vladimir Zarev tells of a system dominated by ideology and the impossibility of living a life of dignity within such constraints. »Vladimir Zarev is a brightly shining star on the firmament of Bulgarian literature.« Neue Zürcher Zeitung Vladimir Zarev Feuerköpfe Spitfires Novel. 702 pages. Hardcover Publication date: July 25, 2011 Translated from the Bulgarian by Thomas Frahm »If you only ever read one modern Bulgarian novel, make sure it is by Valdimir Zarev. This is European literature at its best – a brilliantly grotesque mixture that brings to mind The Brothers Karamazov and Buddenbrooks.« Berliner Zeitung Vladimir Zarev born in Sofia in 1947. He is the author of a total of 15 novels, short story collections and non-fiction books. His novel Verfall was first published in German in 2007, and Deuticke published the novel Familienbrand, the first part of the »Weltschew« trilogy in 2009. F I CTI O N
FOREIGN DEUTICKE RIGHTS Christian Mähr Das unsagbar Gute The Unspeakably Good A real treat for fans of black humour! Novel. 320 pages. Hardcover Publication date: August 29, 2011 C RI M E F I CTI O N When Frau Leupold, a retired chemistry teacher, has a fatal accident while changing a light bulb in her house in Dornbirn, her tomcat Sami has to look for a new owner. He finds one pretty quickly in the form of Mauritius Schott, the neighbour. In turn, Schrott finds quite a few things in the now deserted villa, including the corpse of Frau Leupold, which he leaves in situ, and a large bundle of bank notes, which he happily helps himself to. Unfortunately it transpires that the money emanated from the illegal drug laboratory that Frau Leupold ran in collaboration with her grandson Manfredo. Manfredo manages to replace his drug-producing gran with an unemployed chemist by the name of Romuald Nowak, but in the meantime the Viennese underworld has got wind of the operation and starts sending its snoopers and thugs to idyllic Vorarlberg. Christian Mähr invites us into his weird and wonderful, entertaining and utterly compelling world, where a chain of unfortunate coincidences, all inadvertently involving Sami the tomcat, result in a cache of refrigerated corpses – and our faith in the »unspeakably good« is severely tested. Christian Mähr born in 1952 in Nofels, near Feldkirch in Austria. He lives in Dornbirn and is a writer, beekeeper, doctor of chemistry, and long-standing freelance contributor to the science and environment department of ORF, the Austrian state television station. His previous publications include: Vergessene Erfindungen. Warum fährt die Natronlok nicht mehr? (2002), and Von Alkohol bis Zucker (2010). Deuticke published his novel Semmlers Deal in 2008, followed in 2010 by Alles Fleisch ist Gras.
