  • "Tim Farnsworth is a handsome, healthy man, ageing with the grace of a matinee idol. He loves his work. He loves his family. He loves his kitchen. And then one day he stands up and walks out on all of it. He cannot stop walking."
  • "Tim Farnsworth è un avvocato di successo, pieno di soldi e con la perfetta famiglia americana ad aspettarlo ogni sera sulla porta di casa. Ma ha un solo - piccolo - problema: periodicamente le sue gambe impazziscono e lo spingono a un infinito vagabondare per ogni dove. Malattia fisica o psicologica? Qual è la sua origine e come fermarla?"

  • "Tim Farnsworth is a handsome, healthy man, ageing with the grace of a matinee idol. He loves his work. He loves his family. He loves his kitchen. And then one day he stands up and walks out on all of it. He cannot stop walking. And, as his body propels him relentlessly forward, deep into the unfamiliar outer reaches of the city, he begins to realise he is moving further and further from his old self, seemingly unable to turn back and retrieve what he has lost. In his extraordinary novel Joshua Ferris delineates with great tenderness and a rare and inimitable wit the devastating story of a life taken for granted and what happens when that life is torn away without explanation or warning."
  • "Their wealthy lifestyle marred only by a two-time occurrence of a short-lived illness, Tim and Jane Farnsworth are devastated when the illness returns in ways that frighteningly alter Tim's behavior and test Jane's endurance."@en

  • "Vor allem kann man davonlaufen. Nur nicht vor den Dämonen des eigenen Ichs Der Anwalt Tim Farnsworth hat alles, was man sich wünschen kann im Leben: Er ist glücklich verheiratet, liebt seine pubertierende Tochter, hat ein schönes Haus und ziemlich viel Erfolg in seinem Beruf. Und doch steht er eines Tages auf und geht fort. Nicht, weil er möchte, sondern weil er muss, weil ihn etwas treibt, das stärker ist als sein Körper, sein Geist und sein Wille. Er macht sich auf den Weg hinaus ins Freie, ohne Rücksicht auf Wetter, Familie oder Job, läuft oft meilenweit, bevor er wieder zu sich kommt. Und er kann sich nicht erklären, warum er zerstört, was er am meisten liebt. Joshua Ferris wurde 1974 in Illinois geboren. Sein erster Roman 'Then We Came to the End', dt. 'Wir waren unsterblich', (2007) erschien in 24 Ländern, wurde mit dem Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award ausgezeichnet und für die Shortlist des National Book Award nominiert. Mit seinem zweiten Roman 'Ins Freie' kam Joshua Ferris 2010 auf die prestigeträchtige Auswahlliste '20 Under 40' des Literaturmagazins The New Yorker. Beide Romane wurden von der Kritik hoch gelobt und waren internationale Bestseller. Joshua Ferris lebt mit Frau und Kind in New York."
  • "Het leven van een succesvolle advocaat wordt van de ene dag op de andere getekend door dwanghandelingen."
  • "Tim Farnsworth walks. He walks out of meetings and out of bed. He walks in sweltering heat and numbing cold. He will walk without stopping until he falls asleep, wherever he is. This curious affliction has baffled medical experts around the globe--and come perilously close to ruining what should be a happy life. Tim has a loving family, a successful law career, and a beautiful suburban home, all of which he maintains spectacularly well until his feet start moving again. What drives a man to stay in a marriage, in a job? What forces him away? Is love or conscience enough to overcome the darker, stronger urges of the natural world? THE UNNAMED is a deeply felt, luminous novel about modern life, ancient yearnings, and the power of human understanding."
