"He is a brilliant math Professor with a peculiar problem -- ever since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only eighty minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young Housekeeper, with a ten-year-old son, who is hired to care for him. And every morning, as the Professor and the Housekeeper are introduced to each other anew, a strange and beautiful relationship blossoms between them. Though he cannot hold memories for long (his brain is like a tape that begins to erase itself every eighty minutes), the Professor's mind is still alive with elegant equations from the past. And the numbers, in all of their articulate order, reveal a sheltering and poetic world to both the Housekeeper and her young son. The Professor is capable of discovering connections between the simplest of quantities -- like the Housekeeper's shoe size -- and the universe at large, drawing their lives ever closer and more profoundly together, even as his memory slips away."--Publisher description.
"Eine Frau wird als Haushälterin für einen verschrobenen Professor eingestellt, der jeden Tag aufs Neue vergisst, wer er ist. In ihrer zarten, eindringlichen Sprache erzählt Yoko Ogawa eine berührende Geschichte über Freundschaft und Verlust - und über die Schönheit der Mathematik. Ein alter Mathematikprofessor, dessen Karriere nach einem geheimnisvollen Unfall ein abruptes Ende fand, lebt zurückgezogen auf dem prächtigen Anwesen seiner Schwägerin. Seit seinem Unfall währt sein Kurzzeitgedächtnis nur mehr achtzig Minuten, danach kann er sich an nichts mehr erinnern. Acht Haushälterinnen hat seine Schwägerin bislang für ihn eingestellt und jede schon nach kurzer Zeit wieder entlassen. Aber mit Nummer neun wird alles anders. Rasch gewinnt sie das Vertrauen des Professors, der auch ihren zehnjährigen Sohn sofort ins Herz schliesst. Einfühlsam führt der Professor die beiden in die faszinierende Welt der Mathematik ein. Und mit jeder neuen Gleichung, mit jeder neuen Formel entstehen zwischen ihnen Bande, die stärker sind als der Verlust der Erinnerung - bis die Schwägerin des Professors dem ein plötzliches Ende setzt ... Yoko Ogawa gilt als eine der wichtigsten japanischen Autorinnen ihrer Generation. Für ihr umfangreiches Werk wurde sie mit vielen Literaturpreisen ausgezeichnet, zuletzt mit dem Tanizaki-Jun'ichirM-Preis. Für ihren Roman "Das Geheimnis der Eulerschen Formel", der in sechzehn Sprachen übersetzt wurde, erhielt sie den begehrten Yomiuri-Preis. Bei Liebeskind erschienen u.a. die Romane "Hotel Iris", "Das Museum der Stille" und "Das Ende des Bengalischen Tigers". Yoko Ogawa lebt mit ihrer Familie in der Präfektur Hyogo."
"He is a brilliant math professor, with a peculiar problem--since a traumatic head injury, he has lived with only 80 minutes of short-term memory. She is an astute young housekeeper with a 10-year-old son who is hired to care for the professor. Between them, a strange, beautiful relationship blossoms."
"Une jeune mère célibataire est chargée par l'association qui l'emploie d'aller faire le ménage chez un vieil homme qui a déjà renvoyé neuf de ses collègues. La belle-soeur du vieil homme la reçoit, lui expliquant qu'elle devra nettoyer une petite annexe au fond de son jardin où vit son beau-frère, mathématicien amnésique. Une amitié va naître entre la femme, son fils de 10 ans et l'homme."

"He is a brilliant maths professor, but the legacy of a traumatic head injury is only eighty minutes of short-term memory ... Entrusted to take care of him is a young, sensitive housekeeper with a ten-year-old son. A beautiful relationship blossoms between them. The Professor may not remember what he had for breakfast, but he devises maths riddles, based on her shoe size, or her birthday, revealing a poetic world to the Housekeeper and her little boy. With each new equation, the three lost souls forge an affection more mysterious than imaginary numbers, and a bond that runs deeper than memory."
