The Blind Man's Garden

Jeo and Mikal are foster brothers from a small town in Pakistan. Though they were inseparable as children, their adult lives have diverged: Jeo is a dedicated medical student, married a year; Mikal has been a vagabond since he was fifteen, in love with a woman he can't have. But when Jeo decides to sneak across the border into Afghanistan--not to fight with the Taliban against the Americans, rather to help care for wounded civilians--Mikal determines to go with him, to protect him

  • "Pakistan in den Monaten nach dem 11. September: Jeo ist mit Naheed, der grossen Liebe seines Lebens, verheiratet, die auch sein Adoptivbruder Mikal begehrt. Als Jeo sich auf den Weg macht, in Afghanistan verwundeten Zivilisten zu helfen, begleitet Mikal ihn, doch ein Komplott führt die beiden unversehens zwischen die Fronten, Jeo stirbt, und Mikal gerät in Gefangenschaft. Auch in das Leben der Familie zu Hause bricht der Krieg ein. Ihr Vater Rohan, gläubiger Muslim und Gründer einer liberalen Schule, sieht sein Lebenswerk durch Fundamentalisten bedroht, und Naheed tut alles, um die mühsam erkämpfte Freiheit der Frauen nicht wieder zu verlieren. Sie trauert um Jeo, gibt aber die Hoffnung nicht auf, dass Mikal eines Tages zurückkehrt. Ebenso schonungslos wie poetisch beschreibt der vielfach ausgezeichnete Autor Nadeem Aslam in 'Der Garten des Blinden' eine sehr gegenwärtige, dabei zeitlose Welt um Liebe und Krieg, Verlust und Verrat und um die tiefsten Beweggründe menschlichen Handelns. Nadeem Aslam wurde 1966 in Gujranwala, Pakistan, geboren und musste mit 14 Jahren das Land wegen des Widerstands seines Vaters gegen das Zia-Regime verlassen. Er studierte in England Biochemie und Literatur und lebt heute in London als Schriftsteller. Nadeem Aslams Romane wurden vielfach ausgezeichnet; 'Atlas für verschollene Liebende' wurde u.a. für den renommierten Booker-Preis nominiert. Seine Bücher erscheinen in einem Dutzend Länder. 'Der Garten des Blinden' ist sein vierter Roman und steht auf der shortlist für den DSC Prize for South Asian Literature 2014."
