Zuerst beobachteten nur ein paar Wissenschaftler das Herannahen des Planeten »Wanderer«. Dann war er plötzlich für alle Menschen sichtbar und spürbar — ein neuer Planet, der an Naturgewalt alles übertraf was die Erde in ihrer langen Evolution erlebt hatte. Dieses Phänomen machte aus der Erde einen Ameisenhaufen. Der »Wanderer« brachte den Menschen den Tod. Aber für viele bedeutete er einen neuen Lebensinhalt. Für Millionen von Menschen, die wie Ameisen über die schwankende Kruste unseres Planeten hasteten, kam der »Wanderer« als Schrecken, um die Kenntnisse der Wissenschaft zu widerlegen, um die Welt zu zerstören — aber vielleicht auch, um Herz und Verstand der Menschen zu öffnen ... Dieses weitgespannte Werk des amerikanischen Autors wurde auf der Londoner Weltkonvention als bester Roman des Jahres 1965 mit dem internationalen SF-Preis ausgezeichnet

Internationally acclaimed and profoundly moving, Richard Flanagan’s Wanting is a stunning tale of colonialism, ambition, and the lusts and longings that make us human. Now in paperback, it links two icons of Western civilization through a legendarily disastrous arctic exploration, and one of the most infamous episodes in human history: the colonization of Tasmania. In 1841, Sir John Franklin and his wife, Lady Jane, move to the remote penal colony of Van Diemen’s Land, now Tasmania. There Lady Jane falls in love with a lively aboriginal girl, Mathinna, whom she adopts and makes the subject of a grand experiment in civilization—one that will determine whether science, Christianity, and reason can be imposed in the place of savagery, impulse, and desire. A quarter of a century passes. Sir John Franklin disappears in the Arctic with his crew and two ships on an expedition to find the fabled Northwest Passage. England is horrified by reports of cannibalism filtering back from search parties, no one more so than the most celebrated novelist of the day, Charles Dickens. As Franklin’s story becomes a means to plumb the frozen depths of his own life, Dickens finds a young actress thawing his heart
