Siempre creyó en la palabra para resolver conflictos, ahora deberá decidir si tomarse la justicia por su mano.
Una novela absolutamente sobresaliente y desgarradora. Janne Teller escribe de manera brillante y con gran perspicacia sobre la vida interior de los seres humanos, los puntos calientes de la política actual, el idealismo y el amor eterno. Danmarks Biblioteker
Teodor Merlin es un experimentado diplomático de las Naciones Unidas que busca desesperadamente descubrir la verdad sobre la muerte de su hija Joanna, ocurrida durante una misión de paz en Oriente Medio unos años antes. Él, que toda la vida ha creído en las palabras para resolver conflictos, se encuentra ahora en una encrucijada frente al presunto culpable y empuñando un arma: debería disparar o no?
Justicia es el retrato desgarrador de un hombre obligado a cuestionarse todos sus valores, una novela con el ritmo y la tensión de un thriller que reflexiona sobre la moral, el amor, el abuso de poder o las zonas grises de las organizaciones humanitarias, mientras enfrenta al lector a dilemas vitales.
Es el idealismo incompatible con la política?, es la venganza compatible con la justicia?
Es para ti si disfrutaste de obras escandinavas como Los empleados de Olga Ravn o El robo de Ann-Helén Laestadius.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
He always believed in words as a way to resolve conflicts. Now he must decide whether to take justice into his own hands.
An absolutely outstanding and devastating novel. Janne Teller writes brilliantly and with great insight about the inner lives of human beings, the pressure points of contemporary politics, idealism, and eternal love. Danmarks Biblioteker
Teodor Merlin is a seasoned United Nations diplomat who is desperately trying to uncover the truth about the death of his daughter Joanna, which occurred during a peace mission in the Middle East several years earlier. A man who has always believed in words as a means to resolve conflicts now finds himself at a crossroads, standing before the alleged culprit and holding a weapon, forced to decide whether he should pull the trigger.
Justice is a harrowing portrait of a man compelled to question all his values, a novel with the pace and tension of a thriller that reflects on morality, love, abuse of power, and the gray areas of humanitarian organizations, while confronting the reader with essential ethical dilemmas.
Is idealism incompatible with politics, is revenge compatible with justice?
It's for you if you enjoyed Scandinavian works like The Employees by Olga Ravn or Stolen by Ann-Helén Laestadius.
