    <![CDATA[<p> <em>Horrific Sufferings of the Mind-Reading Monster Hercules Barefoot</em> is the picaresque fable of the love that grows between the mute, telepathic human monstrosity Hercules and the beautiful Henriette&#8212;a love that will entwine their fates forever. Author Carl-Johan Vallgren creates an unforgettable cast of grotesqueries in a magical and atmospheric tour of nineteenth-century Europe&#8212;from the bordello, where Hercules is born, to the squalor of the asylum, where he finds only pain, to the sinister grandeur of the Jesuit monasteries in which he finds both shelter and peril, to the phantasmagoria of the freak show with which he travels. A moving, uplifting, at times dark and macabre tale of social oppression, official corruption, religious persecution, and unwavering devotion, it is a story that enchants and surprises . . . and leaves one wide-eyed with wonder, like a small child at his first carnival. </p>]]>

    <![CDATA[Una noche de 1813, en un burdel de Königsberg, un médico asiste a dos prostitutas en el momento del parto. Una de ellas da a luz a una hermosa niña: Henriette. La otra alumbra a un niño que parece un monstruo: Hercule es sordomudo, padece deformaciones físicas y puede leer las mentes de los demás. Hercule y Henriette crecen juntos y se tienen gran afecto, pero el cruel destino los separará: Henriette contraerá matrimonio con otro hombre, mientras Hercule sufrirá el maltrato de la gente y la persecución de la Iglesia. Lo soportará todo recurriendo a sus propias capacidades y al deseo de reencontrarse con su amada. En una fascinante visita guiada por la Europa del siglo XIX, Carl-Johan Vallgren dibuja un elenco de personajes, lugares y escenarios de lo más grotesco. El terrible sufrimiento del monstruo capaz de leer mentes nos acerca a la opresión social, la corrupción oficial y la persecución religiosa, pero no deja de ser una historia de amor maravillosa, conmovedora y, también, siniestra y macabra.]]>

    <![CDATA[  Die Geburt der Tragödie findet im Bordell statt. Es ist ein Winterabend im Jahre 1813, als im bekanntesten Freudenhaus von Königsberg zwei Kinder das Licht der Welt erblicken: ein gesundes Mädchen und ein missgebildeter, kaum überlebensfähiger Knabe, Hercule Barfuss mit Namen. Die Kinder wachsen voll Sympathie füreinander und ohne Vorurteile auf, bis sie die Schließung des Bordells in verschiedene Richtungen stößt -- und der taubstumme Zwerg Hercule bei seiner Odyssee durch die Wanderzirkusse, Klöster und Irrenhäuser von ganz Europa erkennen muss, wie kalt und unbarmherzig die Gesellschaft draußen ist.<p>  Zum Glück ist Hercule mit einem Übermaß an Überlebenswillen und telepathischen Fähigkeiten ausgestattet -- eine Eigenschaft, die ihn zwar fast in den Klammergriff der Inquisition zu treiben droht, aber auch die Gewissheit gibt, dass er seine erste Liebe irgendwann einmal wieder treffen wird. Doch dann liegt das Mädchen halbtot im Rinnstein. Ist es also schon zu spät für ein Wiedersehen?<p>    Es ist unglaublich, mit wie viel blitzgescheitem Witz und erzählerischer Raffinesse der 39-jährige schwedische Autor Carl-Johann Vallgren der allseits bekannten Fabel von der Schönen und dem Biest in seiner <em> Geschichte einer ungeheuerlichen Liebe</em> neue Züge verliehen hat -- und ganz nebenbei auch noch das farbenprächtige Bild einer ganzen Epoche heraufbeschwört. Klischees und Zitate aus der Literatur von der Schwarzen Romantik über den <em>Glöckner von Notre-Dame</em> bis hin zu Süskinds <em>Parfüm</em> begegnen einem bei der Lektüre allenthalben, aber sie fallen kaum ins Gewicht. Denn Vallgrens Geschichte ist viel zu faszinierend und schwerelos spannend, als dass man sich von derlei Entdeckungen den Spaß am reinen Lesen verderben lassen würde. <em>--Stefan Kellerer</em></p></p>]]>
