Salvatore Niffoi - Die barfüßige Witwe. Zsolnay 2011
Ein packender, sprachgewaltiger #Roman über Blutrache im Hochland Sardiniens zu Zeiten Mussolinis. Der Sarde Niffoi schildert eine archaische, ärmliche Welt, in der Gewalt, Aberglaube und Frömmigkeit nebeneinander bestehen.
Die Witwe Mintò rächt den Tod ihres Mannes, der vom Regime ermordet wurde.
Ein rasantes Drama, das den Leser mit Wucht und urwüchsiger Emotion überrollt.
Fascinating world of ancient #glass: a #Roman jug made of blue glass with splashed decoration in white, yellow and brown. The decoration was created by applying fragments of coloured glass to the surface of the vessel before it was fully blown.
The technique was fashionable in the first half of the 1st c. A.D. and may have been influenced by the production of cast mosaic glass.
Found in a burial at Kempten-Keckwiese, dating ca. 30 AD.
On display at Archäologische Staatssammlung München

Mein neuer Roman erscheint heute, und ich freu mich so!
Mit Thomas Finn habe ich "Ruinen der Elfen" geschrieben.
Der erste Teil der Romanserie dreht sich um die mysteriöse Hochelfenstadt Simyala, die mitten im undurchdringlichen Reichsforst liegt.
Simyala ging vor Jahrtausenden unter. Viele haben es gesucht. Niemand hat es je gefunden …
