1793
by Niklas Natt Och DagEl fenómeno de ventas que ha revolucionado el thriller histórico Premiado en Suecia como Mejor Libro del Año y considerado mejor debut por la Academia Sueca de Novela Negra en 2017, 1793 es un apasionante thriller histórico que se ha convertido en un fenómeno de ventas en toda Europa.Un año después de la muerte del rey Gustavo III, los vientos de la Revolución francesa llegan incluso a Suecia, donde la tensión es palpable en todo el país, convertido en un nido de conspiraciones, suspicacias y recelos. En esta atmósfera irrespirable, Mickel Cardell, un veterano de la guerra contra Rusia, descubre un cuerpo atrozmente mutilado en un lago de Estocolmo. Un abogado tuberculoso, el sagaz e incorruptible Cecil Winge, se hace cargo de las pesquisas, pero el tiempo apremia: su salud es precaria, la monarquía hace aguas y las revueltas están a la orden del día. Winge y Cardell se verán inmersos en un mundo de truhanes y ladrones, ricos y pobres, piadosos y pecadores, mercenarios y meretrices. Juntos se enfrentarán al mal y a la corrupción que anidan en la sociedad sueca para esclarecer la misteriosa verdad escondida tras ese terrible crimen. Intenso, descarnado y febril, 1793 insufla vida a las calles abarrotadas, los suntuosos palacios y los rincones más sombríos de la capital sueca a finales del siglo XVIII, y nos ofrece una sorprendente visión de los delitos que cometemos en nombre de la justicia y los sacrificios que hacemos para sobrevivir. La crítica ha dicho...«Maravillosamente escrita y bien construida, esta novela nos arrastra, con las descripciones de lugares y personajes, a un viaje que no termina hasta que se ha leído la última escena.»De Standaard «Apasionante, perturbadora, inteligente y hermosa.»Fredrik Backman «Una novela dura, violenta, compleja, fascinante. [...] El mejor thriller histórico que he leído en los últimos veinte años.»A. J. Finn «En su debut novelístico, Natt och Dag examina los efectos de un brutal asesinato y a sus investigadores, y explora las causas psicológicas del crimen. Escalofriante y profunda, implacable, muy bien escrita, es casi imposible dejarla.»Kirkus Reviews «Una primera novela magistral.»Publishers Weekly «Este apasionante thriller histórico anuncia la llegada de un nuevo talento europeo. Una novela vívida y absorbente.»The Observer «Absolutamente impresionante.»Dagens Nyheter «Un tour de force literario, un libro inteligente e intrigante que el lector recordará mucho después de haberlo leído.»Verdens Gang
1793: O Lobo e o Vigia
by Niklas Nat Och DagPrémio Livro do Ano (Suécia) Prémio da Academia Sueca de Escritores de Crime (Suécia) Prémio para melhor romance Storytel Awards (Suécia) Prémio Crimetime Specsavers (Suécia) Finalista do CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger (Reino Unido) Finalista do Golden Bullet Award (Noruega) Finalista LiveLib Reader's choice Awards (Rússia) No seu romance de estreia, 1793, Niklas Natt och Dag pinta um retrato convincente do final do século XVIII em Estocolmo. Através dos olhos dos diferentes narradores, o verniz em pó e a pintura da época são retirados para revelar a realidade assustadora, mas fascinante, escondida além dos factos secos dos textos de História. Com um pé firmemente cravado na tradição literária e outro na literatura de suspense, Natt och Dag cria um género inteiramente novo de thriller histórico sugestivo e realista. 1793, Estocolmo. Quatro anos após da tomada da Bastilha e mais de um ano depois da morte de Gustavo III da Suécia, as guerras estrangeiras esvaziaram os tesouros e a nação é governada com mão de ferro pelo senhor do reino. Na esteira do falecimento do velho rei, a confiança transformou-se num bem escasso. A paranóia e as conspirações sussurradas abundam em todos os cantos. Uma promessa de violência estala no ar enquanto os cidadãos comuns se sentem cada vez mais vulneráveis aos caprichos dos que estão no poder. Quando Mickel Cardell, um ex-soldado aleijado e ex-guarda noturno, encontra um corpo mutilado flutuando no lago malcheiroso da cidade, sente-se compelido a dar ao homem não identificado um enterro condigno. Para Cecil Winge, um brilhante advogado que é também detetive consultor na Polícia de Estocolmo, um corpo sem braços, pernas ou olhos é um enigma formidável e uma última oportunidade de acertar as coisas antes de perder a sua batalha com a morte. Juntos, Winge e Cardell vasculham Estocolmo para descobrir a identidade do corpo, encontrando o lado sórdido da elite da cidade. 1793 retrata a capacidade de se ser cruel em nome da sobrevivência ou da ganância - mas também a capacidade para o amor, a amizade e o desejo de um mundo melhor. Os elogios da crítica:«Complexo e rico. Além dos personagens fascinantes, a maior força de Natt och Dag pode estar na selecção dos pormenores que usa para descrever uma cidade com dois séculos de história. Este é o primeiro romance publicado de Natt och Dag, mas parece demasiado habilidoso e seguro para ser a sua primeira obra.»New York Journal of Books «Um mistério histórico soberbamente pormenorizado.»Irish Times «O noir sueco não pode ficar mais obscuro.»The Herald «Niklas Natt och Dag pega na tradição do crime escandinavo contemporâneo e dá-lhe uma reviravolta histórica assustadoramente horrível# Natt não nos poupa a nada, detalhando horror após horror na sua prosa firme e robusta.»The Guardian «Um romance de estreia notável. A mais recente sensação escandinava.»Sunday Times «Este thriller histórico emocionante anuncia, certamente, a chegada de um novo e delicado talento europeu. Vívido e absorvente.»The Observer «Uma leitura emocionante e chocante.»The Times «No seu romance de estreia, Natt och Dag examina os efeitos de um assassinato brutal sobre aqueles que o investigam - e explora as causas psicológicas do crime... Arrepiante e instigante. Implacável, bem escrito, impossível de largar.»Kirkus «[Um] primeiro romance magistral... Natt och Dag usa a estrutura do livro, que inclui flashbacks e várias perspe

1794
by Niklas Natt Och DagFinalista do Prémio Storytel para Melhor Romance (Suécia) Finalmente! Depois de 1793, a aguardada continuação do premiado autor e fenómeno editorial internacional. Niklas Natt och Dag criou um novo género que seduz os leitores e a crítica de todo o mundo. 1794, Estocolmo. Uma mãe chora a filha brutalmente assassinada na noite de núpcias. Desesperada, sem ninguém que atenda o seu pedido, acaba por bater à porta do vigia com um só braço e que chora amargamente a morte do amigo. No hospital de Danviken, nos arredores da cidade, um jovem nobre é atormentado pelo crime repugnante que cometeu. A investigação de Cardell leva-o de novo ao abismo de Estocolmo e à descoberta de que a cidade está mais perversa e perigosa do que nunca. Neste novo episódio, o leitor reúne-se com Mickel Cardell e Anna Stina Knapp no seu mundo barulhento e depravado, onde o que fica do esplendor gustaviano está prestes a entrar em colapso. Estocolmo verá os seus dias tornarem-se mais sombrios e o antigo esplendor dará lugar à escuridão escondida nos cantos e recantos da corrupta cidade. Os elogios da crítica: «Extremo e extremamente bom.»Dagens Nyheter «A prosa inigualável deste romance transportará o leitor para uma época completamente diferente, mas muito tangível. E a história, embora seja uma das mais vis que li, é totalmente irresistível.»Vi Läser «1794 é um retrato maravilhosamente misantropo sobre o sofrimento de uma Estocolmo violenta.»BJT «Niklas Natt och Dag encanta os leitores com a sua representação do século XVIII. O que faz o leitor continuar a ler é a história moral no mundo moralmente decadente que o autor retrata. No meio de toda aquela escuridão, resta uma trémula luz para o guiar.»Gefle Dagblad «Como aconteceu com o seu romance deestreia, em 1794, o leitor é imediatamente absorvido pelo enredo habilmente construído.»Göteborgs-Posten «Niklas Natt och Dag sabe bem como guiar os seus protagonistas no duro caminho que a vida lhes impôs. Existem bons motivos para aguardar por 1795.»Svenska Dagbladet «Não vai conseguir parar de ler. Pela trama, mas também pela bela prosa e a fantástica descrição do ambiente.»Dast Magazine «O maior valor do entretenimento nesta obra recai sobre a representação da época, quase documental ao nível do pormenor, já para não falar na prosa. Um contraponto à escuridão que enfrentam todas as personagens é a luz que brilha sob a forma de narrativa, próxima da poesia.»Södermanlands Nyheter
1794
by Niklas Natt Och DagEngaño, corrupción y crimen en la Suecia del siglo XVIII. La esperada continuación de 1793. Segunda parte de la aclamada trilogía con tintes noir iniciada con 1793 —considerado Mejor Libro del Año en Suecia y elogiado por la crítica por renovar los cánones del thriller histórico—, 1794 presenta un ingenioso entramado de engaños, venganzas y crímenes inmisericordes sobre el telón de fondo de una bulliciosa Estocolmo inmersa en la vorágine generada por la Revolución francesa. Segundo hijo de la acaudalada familia Tres Rosas, Erik es enviado por su padre a la colonia de San Bartolomé, el mayor mercado de esclavos del mundo, en las Antillas, para separarlo de Linnea Charlotta, una chica de extracción humilde con la que se ha jurado amor eterno. Desterrado en la isla caribeña, el muchacho se encuentra enfrascado en adaptarse a un medio tan brutal cuando lassúbitas muertes de su padre y de su hermano primogénito precipitan su regreso a Suecia. Así pues, convertido de repente en heredero de una inmensa fortuna y libre para contraer matrimonio con su amada Linnea Charlotta, la felicidad parece sonreírle cuando otro cruel giro del destino lo arroja de nuevo a las tinieblas: acusado de un crimen horrendo ocurrido durante la misma noche de bodas, la vida de Erik queda en manos del inefable Mickel Cardell, el hosco veterano de guerra que, acompañado ahora por Emil Winge, hermano pequeño y álter ego del malogrado Cecil, se adentrará en los abismos más oscuros y violentos de la sociedad sueca para intentar descubrir la verdad y liberar a Erik de un futuro nefasto. Con una destreza excepcional para idear personajes de una asombrosa complejidad y recrear con todo lujo de detalles un momento histórico apasionante, Niklas Natt och Dag colma con creces las expectativas generadas con 1793 y promete mantener la tensión en vilo hasta eldesenlace de la trilogía. La crítica ha dicho... «Uno de los fenómenos literarios del año». Màrius Carol, La Vanguardia «La continuación de '1793', emocionante simbiosis entre novela histórica y novela negra y una de las mejores del género en 2020». El País «El sueco Niklas Natt och Dag alcanza una sublime fusión de narrativa criminal y recreación histórica detallada». Lilian Neuman, Cultura/s «Con el protagonista de la primera entrega fuera de juego, el autor sueco trenza nuevas alianzas entre sus personajes para arrojar un poco de luz a una época oscura y cruenta sobre la que sobrevuela también el fantasma de la esclavitud». ABC «Es terrorífico...terroríficamente bueno».Dagens Nyheter «Al igual que en su novela debut, el lector se ve inmediatamente atrapado por la prosa de 1794 de Niklas Natt Och Dag.[...] La trama ha sido construida por manos expertas,tal como la última vez».Göteborgs-Posten «1794 es un retrato maravilloso y misantrópico del sufrimiento que existió una vez en Estocolmo. También es terrorífico y emocionante».BTJ
