Er verwebt den Handlungsstrang über den Hüter der Zeit (und die Geschichte, wie er dazu wurde) geschickt mit den Schicksalen einer jungen Frau und eines alten Managers. Während sie der Zeit überdrüssig ist, strebt er nach dem ewigen Leben. Mit seiner Sanduhr errettet der Hüter der Zeit beide und erfüllt damit sein eigenes Schicksal gleich dazu. Der Roman ist eher ein romantisches Märchen, aber eines mit Tiefgang und weisen Zitaten. Dennoch ist dem Buch ein gewisser Hang zum Kitsch nicht abzusprechen. Trotzdem: Lesenswert ist es allemal, mal sehen, ob es eine deutsche Übersetzung geben wird. ( )
Mitch Albom is an author of internationally bestselling books, including Tuesdays with Morrie, which topped the New York Times bestseller list in 2010. So he knew what he was doing when he sat down to write another novel about spirituality in a modern setting. In The Time Keeper, he sticks to his tried and tested literary recipe, which follows an elderly man on an existential journey to a grand realisation. This novel earns its place on the bookshelf for its compelling and original storyline; the man who first tried to measure time is punished by living an eternity. However, Albom fails to probe the full depths of this idea and is unable to write with enough style to carry it through into more than a clichéd censure on modern times.

HTML: From the author who's inspired millions worldwide with books like Tuesdays with Morrie and The Five People You Meet in Heaven comes his most imaginative novel yet, The Time Keeperâ??a compelling fable about the first man on earth to count the hours. The man who became Father Time. In Mitch Albom's newest work of fiction, the inventor of the world's first clock is punished for trying to measure God's greatest gift. He is banished to a cave for centuries and forced to listen to the voices of all who come after him seeking more days, more years. Eventually, with his soul nearly broken, Father Time is granted his freedom, along with a magical hourglass and a mission: a chance to redeem himself by teaching two earthly people the true meaning of time. He returns to our worldâ??now dominated by the hour-counting he so innocently beganâ??and commences a journey with two unlikely partners: one a teenage girl who is about to give up on life, the other a wealthy old businessman who wants to live forever. To save himself, he must save them both. And stop the world to do so. Told in Albom's signature spare, evocative prose, this remarkably original tale will inspire readers everywhere to reconsider their own notions of time, how they spend it and how precious it truly Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
