Synopsis
October 1914: the destroyer Svea emerged from the Stockholm archipelago bearing south-south-east. On board was Lars Tobiasson-Svartman, a naval engineer charged with making depth soundings to find a navigable channel for the Swedish navy. As a child, Tobiasson-Svartman was fascinated by measurement; nothing is as magical as exact knowledge. His instinct for his profession is reflected in the comfortable domesticity he enjoys with his wife - herself meticulous in every detail. Close to the waters where soundings are taken Tobiasson-Svartman alights on a barren skerry, presumed uninhabited, and is surprised to discover there a young woman, Sara Fredrika. Despite her almost feral appearance, something about her strikes him to the core. The mission is a success and the Svea returns to Gothenburg. Tobiasson-Svartman, however, remains haunted by this chance encounter; his equilibrium has been disturbed, and he is now compelled to find any pretence to return to the remote islet. In "Depths", Mankell confirms his status as a writer beyond the crime genre. By delving deep into the male psyche, he has produced a novel both as tense and compelling in every way as the Wallander series, but also powerful, moving and ultimately tragic.

Condition: Como nuevo. : En octubre de 1914, el destructor Svea emerge del archipiélago de Estocolmo con rumbo sur-sureste. A bordo se encuentra Lars Tobiasson-Svartman, un ingeniero naval encargado de realizar sondeos de profundidad para encontrar un canal navegable para la marina sueca. De niño, Tobiasson-Svartman estaba fascinado por la medición; nada es tan mágico como el conocimiento exacto. Su instinto por su profesión se refleja en la cómoda domesticidad que disfruta con su esposa, ella misma meticulosa en cada detalle.Cerca de las aguas donde se toman los sondeos, Tobiasson-Svartman desembarca en un islote estéril, presumiblemente deshabitado, y se sorprende al descubrir allí a una joven, Sara Fredrika. A pesar de su apariencia casi salvaje, algo en ella lo golpea hasta la médula. La misión es un éxito y el Svea regresa a Gotemburgo. Tobiasson-Svartman, sin embargo, permanece obsesionado por este encuentro casual; su equilibrio ha sido perturbado, y ahora se ve obligado a encontrar cualquier pretexto para regresar al remoto islote. En Depths, Mankell confirma su estatus como escritor más allá del género policíaco. Al profundizar en la psique masculina, ha producido una novela tan tensa y convincente en todos los sentidos como la serie Wallander, pero también poderosa, conmovedora y, en última instancia, trágica.
