About this product
Product Information
For readers of Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner comes a "pacy Lebanese mystery. A man is haunted by his father's disappearance in this acclaimed debut novel set against the backdrop of Middle Eastern politics" -- The Guardian Samir leaves the safety and comfort of his family's adopted home, Germany, for volatile Beirut in an attempt to find his missing father. The only clues Samir has are an old photo and the bedtime stories his father used to tell him. In this moving and engaging novel about family secrets, love, and friendship, Pierre Jarawan does for Lebanon what Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner did for Afghanistan. He pulls away the curtain of grim facts and figures portrayed in the media and shows an intimate truth of what it means to come from a country torn apart by civil war. With this beautiful and suspenseful story, full of images, Jarawan proves to be a masterful storyteller himself. Pierre Jarawan is the son of a Lebanese father and a German mother and moved to Germany with his family at the age of three. Inspired by his father's love of telling imaginative bedtime stories, he started writing at the age of thirteen. He has won international prizes as a slam poet, received the City of Munich literary scholarship (the Bayerische Kunstf rderpreis) for The Storyteller , and was chosen as Literature Star of the Year by the daily newspaper AZ . His debut novel The Storyteller was a Spiegel bestseller in Germany, proclaimed Book of the Month by the leading Dutch television talk show DWDD , and received unanimous rave reviews from the European press.

Reviews
"Jarawan has just the right touch on some of the finer details, as when he writes in Samir's voice that he remembers the date Nov. 22, 2000, not because it was when he lost his virginity but 'because that's the day Mother died.' His depiction of a Lebanon once torn apart by civil war is also well-nuanced..." --Kirkus Reviews "A literary debut of astounding maturity, refinement, and narrative power." --Literatur Abendzeitung "Jarawan's narrative is captivating, fast-paced, and true to life--a fascinating exploration of the question of what it means to be influenced by several cultures at the same time." --Frankfurter Neue Presse "His masterful debut successfully interweaves historical events and a suspense-filled investigation of one family's fate into a novel that deeply moves its readers." --New Books in German "In a sweeping style reminiscent of oriental storytelling, Jarawan tells of escape, migration, and a family torn between two cultures. His debut succeeds in bringing foreign culture into focus and awakens in the reader a fascination with the The Storyteller ." --Kulturtipp "The story of an escape, of a family, and of the Far East: how the fate of one family is inevitably linked with Lebanon's history. An enthralling novel which couldn't be more timely." --Rhein-Zeitung "Pierre Jarawan has worked Lebanon's complicated history brilliantly into his debut novel." --TAZ "This new literary voice is particularly melodious and memorable. The Storyteller is an elegantly and unobtrusively narrated novel that shows us what is behind and beyond the narrow stuffy rooms that we call 'our world,' our Europe, our West. With this novel, the doors open to a thousand other beautiful incomprehensible worlds." --Alexander Solloch, NDR Culture New Books "This book is a masterwork--a debut of great class." --Booklover & Dreamcatcher "A moving and wonderfully constructed story, full of beautiful images--Jarawan teaches us about both history and the future, without ever becoming didactic." --Tzum "An exciting family mystery, focusing on both historical and current political situations; a testimony to the way migrants are torn between their old homeland and their new." --Ruhr Nachrichten "A wonderful and authentic way of storytelling." --Boekenkrant "A beautiful book full of fascinating storytelling and poetic language, that you devour without stopping for breath. If you start reading this book, you'll want to keep reading it, rereading it. A masterful and particularly fascinating debut for such a young writer--one we can hopefully expect a lot more from." --Leeskost "Jarawan has produced a fairy tale that could be straight out of One Thousand and One Nights . From the very beginning, you float away on the story as if on a flying carpet." --NRC "An engaging novel." --Mappa Libri "A story worth telling." --De Volkskrant, "Jarawan has just the right touch on some of the finer details, as when he writes in Samir's voice that he remembers the date Nov. 22, 2000, not because it was when he lost his virginity but 'because that's the day Mother died.' His depiction of a Lebanon once torn apart by civil war is also well-nuanced..." --Kirkus Reviews " The Storyteller by Pierre Jarawan is one of those rare books that takes you on both the internal and external journeys of a character. We not only see how far Samir travels emotionally, but follow him on the geographic journey required for him to grow up and accept himself. A brilliant work for our times." -- Qantara "A literary debut of astounding maturity, refinement, and narrative power." --Literatur Abendzeitung "Jarawan's narrative is captivating, fast-paced, and true to life--a fascinating exploration of the question of what it means to be influenced by several cultures at the same time." --Frankfurter Neue Presse " The Storyteller is a moving and nuanced account of a young man's search for identity." -- The Bend Bulletin "His masterful debut successfully interweaves historical events and a suspense-filled investigation of one family's fate into a novel that deeply moves its readers." --New Books in German "In a sweeping style reminiscent of oriental storytelling, Jarawan tells of escape, migration, and a family torn between two cultures.
