"Henry Perowne, Neurochirurg, 48, ist ein glücklicher Mann: Er hat Spaß an der Arbeit, beim Sex mit seiner Frau, liebt Musik und seine Familie, ißt gern und treibt gern Sport. Als wohlhabender Mann hat er ein wohlgeregeltes Leben. So scheint sein freier Samstag klar vor ihm zu liegen: Er wird Squash spielen mit seinem Kollegen. Dann will er Fisch kaufen und kochen für ein Festessen im Kreis der Familie. Dieser Samstag aber ist kein beliebiger Samstag, es ist der 15. Februar 2003. Mit seinem Mercedes S500 versucht Henry auf dem Weg zum Squash Hunderttausende von Demonstranten gegen den Irakkrieg weiträumig zu umfahren. In Gedanken versunken, rammt er den Seitenspiegel des roten BMWs eines Kleinganoven. Drei Typen steigen aus."

""Saturday, February 15, 2003. Henry Perowne is a contented man - a successful neurosurgeon, the devoted husband of Rosalind and proud father of two grown-up children. Unusually, he wakes before dawn, drawn to the window and filled with a growing unease. As he looks out at the night sky he is troubled by the state of the world - the impending war against Iraq, a gathering pessimism since 9/11, and a fear that his city and his happy family life are under threat. Later, as Perowne makes his way through London streets filled with hundreds of thousands of anti-war protestors, a minor car accident brings him into a confrontation with Baxter, a fidgety, aggressive young man, on the edge of violence. To Perowne's professional eye, there appears to be something profoundly wrong with him. But it is not until Baxter makes a sudden appearance as the Perowne family gathers for a reunion that Henry's earlier fears seem about to be realised."

Saturday ist ein Buch über die Zerbrechlichkeit des Glücks und die Verwundbarkeit der westlichen Welt. Es handelt vom Preis unseres Seelenfriedens und von unserer Verantwortung für die Welt. Ian McEwans letzter Roman, Abbitte, wurde rund um den Globus als Meisterwerk gefeiert. Saturday ist ebenso wunderbar und klarsichtig geschrieben, dabei brandaktuell und temporeich. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie eine winzige Begebenheit einen Strudel von Ereignissen auslösen kann, und nichts ist wie zuvor."
"Saturday is a novel set within a single day in February 2003. Henry Perowne is a contented man--a successful neurosurgeon, happily married to a newspaper lawyer, and enjoying good relations with his children, who are young adults. Henry wakes to the relative comfort of his home on this, his day off. He is almost as comfortable here as he is in the operating room. Outside the hospital, the world is not so easy or predictable. There is an impending war against Iraq, and a general darkening and gathering pessimism since the New York and Washington attacks two years before and his children are now grown and making their way into this world as adults. On this particular Saturday morning, Perowne's day moves through the ordinary to the extraordinary: from an unusual sighting in the early morning sky to his usual squash game, and from trying to avoid the hundreds of thousands of war protestors filling the streets of London, to a seemingly minor car accident. Ian McEwan has written a masterful novel that keeps you balanced on the edge of your seat as Perowne's happy safe world is unexpectedly shattered. At the heart of this extraordinary novel is the acute awareness of the details of our relationships, of life and of love, and the unforeseen violence that can threaten our peace."
