About the author
Heinz G. Konsalik
588 books86 followersHeinz G. Konsalik (pseudonym of Heinz Günther) was a German novelist.
Many of his books deal with war and showed the German human side of things as experienced by their soldiers and families at home, for instance Das geschenkte Gesicht (The Mutilated Face), which deals with a German soldier's recovery after his sledge ran over a personnel mine and destroyed his face, and how this affected his relationship with his wife at home. It places no judgment on the German position in the war and simply deals with human beings in often desperate situations, doing what they were forced to do under German military law.
Der Arzt von Stalingrad (The Doctor of Stalingrad) made him famous and was adapted into a movie in 1958. Some 83 million copies sold of his 155 novels made him the most popular German novelist of the postwar era and many of his novels were translated and sold through book clubs. He is buried in Cologne.

Ralf, ingénieur allemand, arrive dans un tout petit village de montagnes dans l'ex Yougoslavie pour y construire un barrage. C'est là qu'il rencontre Rosa, jeune et belle jeune femme, promise à Jossip, un berger bien déterminé à épouser la femme qui lui était promise, et déterminé aussi à ce que la construction du barrage ne se fasse pas...
Une bonne intrigue qui mêle triangles amoureux et la confrontation de deux mondes : les citadins modernes et les simples paysans sur l'ouverture au modernisme.
