  • ""Sobre el telón de fondo de un pequeño pueblo costero de los Balcanes, Natalia, una joven médico, llega a un orfanato en misión humanitaria. Acompañada por su amiga y colega Zora, pronto descubren que el lugar está profundamente atado a viejas leyendas y supersticiones. Pero Natalia está preocupada por su familia; su querido abuelo ha muerto en circunstancias extrañas. A medida que trata de aclarar su fallecimiento, Natalia rememora algunos de los misterios que le rodearon en vida: los encuentros de su abuelo con el hombre inmortal, una especie de ser errante que aseguraba ser sobrino de la muerte y que se dedica a recoger almas perdidas, o la relación con el tigre que llegó a su pueblo procedente del zoo de un sultán. Pero la historia más sorprendente es la que su abuelo nunca le contó y que Natalia descubrirá por sí misma."-- Back cover."@es
  • "Remembering childhood stories her grandfather once told her, young physician Natalia becomes convinced that he spent his last days searching for "the deathless man," a vagabond who claimed to be immortal.

  • "Natalia arbeitet in einem Waisenhaus irgendwo in Südosteuropa, als sie vom rätselhaften Tod ihres geliebten Großvaters erfährt. Nach Erklärungen suchend, erinnert sich die junge Ärztin an jene Geschichten aus seinem Leben, die sich um zwei seltsame, fatale Gestalten drehen- die Tigerfrau, eine schöne Taubstumme in seinem Heimatdorf, die einen geflüchteten Tiger pflegte; und einen charmanten, obskuren Mann, der nicht sterben kann. Während Natalia auf den Spuren des Großvaters durch idyllische und kriegsverwüstete Landschaften reist, werden ihr diese Figuren immer gegenwärtiger. Bald entspinnt sich ein ganzer Kosmos an Mythen und Gestalten, und Natalia begreift, welche Wahrheit über die Lebensrätsel ihrer Familie und ihre versehrte Heimat in ihnen steckt."
