  • ""Dies ist unsere Geschichte, wie man sie uns gelehrt hat. Das ist unsere Genesis." Ein Land, abgeschottet vom Rest der Welt, am Ende des 21. Jahrhunderts: Anax steht vor der Prüfungskommission der Akademie. Fünf Stunden hat sie Zeit, um zu beweisen, dass sie würdig ist, in diese mächtige Institution aufgenommen zu werden. Ihr Prüfungsthema kennt sie so gut wie ihre eigene Geschichte: Adam Forde ist der Held ihrer Kindheit, der Mann, dessen Rebellion die Geschichte ihres Landes für immer prägte. Doch Anax weiß längst nicht alles über die Rolle, die Adam gespielt hat. Sie muss einsehen, dass die Geschichte, wie sie sie kennt, eine Lüge ist. Und dass die Akademie nicht ist, was sie scheint. Ein meisterhaft gestrickter Roman über das Wesen des Menschseins mit einer verstörenden Auflösung.(Quelle: Verlagsmeldung)."

  • ""Set in the future, in 2075, is this novel for young adults by New Zealand author Bernard Beckett. The island-state of the Republic had risen up from the destroyed world: isolated, ordered and repressive. Its citizens are alive, but not free. What remains of the outside world is kept at bay. Planes are gunned down; refugees shot on sight. But then a man named Adam Forde rescues a girl from the sea. Watching pyrotechnic sunsets instead of downloading them, Anaximander studies for entry to The Academy. Her exam topic: Adam Fordes challenge to the Republic. With it, the questions of Fordes philosopher class: what makes a human? What makes a soul? Genesis is a philosophical novel that asks all the big questions about who we are."--Provided by publisher."@en

  • "In a terrifying and stifling examination environment a young Academy candidate, Anaximander, is put through a gruelling exercise in interpreting the history and origins of her society. Through her answers, we learn that in 2052, New Zealand has been renamed The Republic after a reforming Governor, Plato. It has separated itself from a plague-ridden globe with a gargantuan ring fence guarded with military outposts."
