KARL MARLANTES - GEBRAUCHT DEEP RIVER - PREIS V...

An unforgettable novel.' - Washington Post At the turn of the twentieth century  as the
oppression of Russia's imperial rule takes its toll on Finland  the three Koski siblings -
Ilmari  Matti and the politicized young Aino - are forced to flee. They settle among a
community of Finns in Deep River - a town on the western edges of the United States. The
brothers face the excitement and danger of pioneering this frontier wilderness. But while they
are climbing and felling trees one-hundred metres high  Aino is organizing the country's
fledgling labour movements. As the Koskis strive to rebuild lives and families in an America in
flux  they also try to hold fast to the traditions of a home they can never return to. And so
the seasons change  the decades pass and the denizens of Deep River slip in and out of love 
they become engineers and fishermen  midwives and widows  soldiers and fugitives. In this
profoundly moving epic Karl Marlantes masterfully depicts the tyranny of nascent America  the
limits of human survival and the enduring might of family love. 'A finely-hewn portrait' An
