In this classic work, the author tries to draw an image of WWI horrors through several short stories. The book was based on true events and reflects the feelings of the soldiers facing death on the front lines. There were some who complained that my last book was in parts too grim and too terrible, and no doubt the same complaint may lie against this one. To that I can only reply that I have found it impossible to write with any truth of the Front without the writing being grim, and in writing my other book I felt it would be no bad thing if Home realized the grimness a little better.

Dr. Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924) was an American inspirational author who wrote on success in life and how to achieve it. His writings discuss common-sense principles and virtues that make for a well-rounded, successful life. Many of his ideas are based on New Thought philosophy. His first book, Pushing to the Front (1894), became an instant best-seller and remains a classic in the genre of self-help. Marden later published fifty or more books and booklets, averaging two titles per year.[1] Marden had an unusual ability to strike a chord with his readers, encouraging them with hope and firing them with ambition to achieve. The privations of his childhood and youth, his broad education and his wide business experience in early manhood were factors that enabled him to write with understanding, sympathy and depth. Marden died in 1924 at the age of seventy-four. [mehr]

Percy Francis Westerman (1876 – 22 February 1959) was a prolific author of children's literature, many of his books adventures with military and naval themes. He was born in Portsmouth, England in 1876, and educated at Portsmouth Grammar School, before taking up a clerical appointment at Portsmouth Dockyard at the age of twenty. He married Florence Wager, of Portsmouth, in 1900. Always keen sailors, they spent part of their honeymoon sailing in the Solent. Their son, John F.C. Westerman, born in 1901, also wrote adventure books for boys. [mehr]

Zur Synopsis: Im Roman stütze ich mich auf eine Inspiration, die ich hatte, als ich Agatha Christies Biografie las. Wie Agatha, ist auch Bekha eine Wanderin zwischen zwei Welten. In einer Realität lebt man die Rolle, die für die Gesellschaft angebracht ist und den kulturellen Vorgaben entspricht; in der parallelen Rolle – die eigentlich dem wirklichen, gewünschten Lebensmodel zugedacht ist- widmet man sich seiner Gabe. Bekhas Gabe war, durch die Gesellschaft hindurchzusehen. Sie betrachtete das Elend der Welt nicht über einen Monitor, sondern betrat den Kummer unter der Kruste der dünnschichtigen Belanglosigkeit in eigener Person. So arbeitete sie einige Monate im Umfeld der Normalität, flirtete mit Männern, wickelte ihre Kundenbesuche als Pharmareferentin ab. Doch dann kam ihre Zeit und sie verschwand. An anderer Stelle dieser Erde kam sie wieder zum Vorschein; als Bote ihres tiefsten Wunsches nach weniger Schmerz. In jenen Tagen sah man sie irgendwo auf einem Schiff, Richtung Jordanien, um die Mörder ihrer Cousine zu finden, die ihr junges Leben durch eine Begegnung mit einem Dealer gegen die Dunkelheit der Drogensucht eintauschte.
