Although "Never let me go" deals with a classic sci-fi theme, it narrowly misses that genre.
Kathy, Ruth and Tommy grow up in an alternative late 20th century England where medicine has advanced to the point where human clones are created to keep "real people" alive longer by donating organs. Our main characters are such clones, raised in a boarding school in the countryside, a parallel world where they grow up sheltered but also under the dark shadow of their destiny.
The underlying conflict they are all struggling with - how much personality, how much individual can you be when you know you were only created after someone else and will have to sacrifice yourself for them at some point? - carries the story with a heavy melancholy.
Ishiguru does not write about the dystopian world he has created here (much of the background remains unclear), but about his "second-class people". He answers the question of their humanity for us in the most beautiful, subtle way.

Do you remember a time before the corona crisis? For Brits (and lots of other Europeans) that too was an era defined by crisis, thanks to the ups and downs of almost half a decade of Brexit discussions.

Jonathan Coe's novel begins at the very beginning of the 2010s when Brexit was barely imaginable and follows the lives of a group of characters from across Britain's many middle classes during the turmoil-there's plenty of that in their private lives too.

Coe is a remainer and it shows but he understands and can even sympathise with his political opponents and this is a pretty fair depiction of England's division. More importantly than that though, it is hysterically funny - I literally lol-ed more than once while reading it (not least during the most awkward sex scene I have ever had the (dis)pleasure of encountering).

A novel for those who seek the solace of other crises in difficult times or for Germans who want reminding that others this side of the Atlantic have it worse.

In diesem französischen Klassiker versucht die Hauptfigur Emma sich aus den engen Fesseln der französischen Gesellschaft zu befreien und ein selbstbestimmtes, glückliches Leben zu führen. Flaubert gibt wie niemand vor ihm jeder Figur ihre eigene Sprache und ihren eigenen Ausdruck. Bewundert von seinen Zeitgenossen und Nachfolgern wie Sartre und Perec liegt hier einer der ersten realistischen Romane der Weltliteratur in der preisgekrönten Übersetzung von Elisabeth Edl vor. Inklusive sehr aufschlussreichen Fußnoten und Kommentaren der Übersetzerin über die Entstehung des Werks.
