A modern, witty, comedy-of-errors look at just what happens when two people connect through a series of accidental email exchanges.
Favourite quote from the book: "Write to me Emmi. Writing is like Kissing, but without lips. Writing is kissing with the mind."
It starts in an unexpected, but not completely uncommon manner.
Emmi, a happily married woman, sends a few e-mails to a subscription service with the intent of unsubscribing to a magazine.

Quando Sopra o Vento Norte é um livro diferente. Porquê? Ora, porque é um livro exclusivamente composto por uma troca de e-mails entre dois estranhos -Leo e Emmi-, já que certa vez Emmi se engana numa letra de um remetente de endereço electrónico e a sua mensagem vai ter à caixa de correio de Leo. Eles acham graça à situação e começam a corresponder-se frequentemente, até que isto se torna numa espécie de obsessão para ambos.

Dovessi leggerlo oggi forse lo troverei molto più scontato di quanto non avessi pensato 3 anni fa, ma allora ricordo lo divorai in un pomeriggio, presissima da questo scambio compulsivo di mail, vento del Nord, che quello quando soffia soffia e lo conosciamo, palpiti di cuore, gioco, attese, insomma innamoramento...
Per capirci, una lettura che mi sono goduta alla grande.
Certo vorrei sottolineare che Emmi è una mezzacalzetta, cosa ci abbia trovato lui è un vero mistero :))

This is one of those books where the context of when I read it is probably super important. If I had read it a week ago I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it so much.
Since I read it today, when I was freeeee and not totally stressed out I did enjoy it and finished it in a few hours instead.
The "emails between two characters" narrative device could have been so, so annoying. But it wasn't because they read like actual emails a real person would send (apart from having better spelling), making it f...more

Quando sopr@ o vento Norte é, à partida, um livro diferente. Não há descrições nem diálogos - só e apenas uma troca de emails, entre o que inicialmente não passavam de desconhecidos. Talvez pela sua incomum estrutura e pela leve e fácil escrita de Daniel Glattauer, o leitor fica preso ao livro logo nas primeiras páginas.

Veamos, este es uno d esos libros, q una vez los empeizas, no puedes parar, es de esos en los que te sientes reflejada, d esos en los que los personajes se hacen tus amigos, xq llegas a conocerlos y hasta xq no? quererlos, es d esos q t demuestran que las relaciones estan + allá del ambito fisico, sino mas bien estan enfocadas en lo sentimental, d esos q t djan una enseñanza si estas dispuesta a verla, y (denuevo) xq no? acogerla...

The Short of It
Realistic portrayal of an online affair.
The Long of It
Emmi Rothner accidently e-mails Leo Leike. No seriously. She does. She’s trying to cancel a magazine order and accidently hits an extra period or delete a letter, whatever. Haha mistake happened and both parties involved laugh a little (LOL anyone?) and life went on.
Until it happened again. This time Emmi is a wee bit more irate at magazine company and Leo comes back equally as snarky. Hahaha giggles ensue AGAIN. And the next t...more

Ich muss ehrlich zugeben: ich war begeistert. Von der Idee der Geschichte, von der Umsetzung, von den Texten, davon dass man wirklich das Gefühl hatte - hier schreibt ein Mann, hier schreibt eine Frau (obwohl ja wahrscheinlich alles von einem Mann verfasst wurde, außer der Herr G. hatte eine Co-Writerin).
Herrlich, und schön dass es einen 2. Teil gibt (leider noch als Hardcover). Aber ich kann warten. :-)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NO PUEDE TERMINAR ASÍ!!!!,
Me he quedado intrigada, enamorada, obsesionada con esta historia. Hace mucho tiempo que no leí un libro así de bueno.
Definitivamente es una lectura de amor muy recomendable.

Klappentext:
Bei Leo Leike landen irrtümlich E-Mails einer ihm unbekannten Emmi Rothner. Aus Höflichkeit antwortet er ihr. Und weil sich Emmi angezogen fühlt, schreibt sie zurück. Ein reger Austausch entsteht, schnell spielen Gefühle mit. Vor einem Treffen aber schrecken beide zurück. Denn Emmi ist verheiratet und Leo laboriert noch an einer gescheiterten Beziehung. Und überhaupt: Werden die elektronisch überbrachten Liebesgefühle einer Begegnung standhalten? Und wenn ja: Lohnt es sich, alles auf...more
Schockierend, berührend, zum Nachdenken anregend.
Bum. Wie geht's weiter? Eigentlich ist doch schon alles ausgeschöpft.
Wie KANN es weitergehen?!
Bin ziemlich gespannt auf den 2. Teil.
Schnell verschlungen , leichte Kost, trotzdem nicht zu unterschätzen. Tolles Buch.

Realmente me ha sorprendido. No pensé que me gustaría este libro, ya que no suelen gustarme las novelas de romance entre adultos, pero me ha sorprendido gratamente. La manera de estar escrito el libro y la dinámica de los personajes ha sido una sorpresa. Tengo muchas ganas de leer la continuación (me muero por saber como termina).
Este libro fue recomendado por una buena amiga y pensé que seria divertido leer algo que tuviera que ver con un amor por Internet entonces una vez comencé a leerlo no pude evitar sentir que estaba leyendo una historia parecida pero en donde yo había sido el personaje principal así que a la mitad del libro no pude evitar romper a llorar por ende les soy muy sincera no se seré lo suficientemente objetiva al hacer la reseña pero aun así tratare y para las personas que no lo han leído les advierto q...more

No spoiler here.
At first the purpose of picking up the book was to be entertained. Two people, opposite sex, start trading e-mails randomly then soon falling for each other? One heck of cliche right there. The weariness of my head had severed after reading philosophical tributes to significant matters of life by famous thinkers. I wanted to a breeze, and the title (Gut Gegen Nordwind : Good Against North Wind - I honestly think it is stupid to call the book ' Love Virtually ' ) fitted what I lo...more

After having read the earlier Glattauer's novel I had been anxiously waiting for its sequel.
I got it only yesterday, late in the evening.
I finished it today.
Beware, because once you enter Emmi and Leo's world you'll be completely hooked, you won't be able to put the book down.
This might be seen and even reviewed as a trivial, page-turner, modern epistolary love story. Only another of those fresh-and-easy-reading books to take away with you for a s...more

Just one of those tragic love stories. The author did an excellent job in constructing a "love" story in a series of e-mails. Irritated by Emmi the female protagonist.-Happily but unhappily married..looking for an escape from the seemingly perfect family life, using her friend as a tool and using Leo to construct an alternative world where she's free to fall inlove and do whatever it is that she can't do and be in real life because of her said "commitment." I loved Leo's character. Someone who...more
C'è una parte di me razionale che ha inarcato un sopracciglio di fronte all'improbabilità dell'incontro virtuale, che si è chiesto per tutto il tempo in che anno fosse ambientato visto che di certi social network o sms neanche l'ombra pur di mantenersi sul romanzo epistolare moderno, che ha perso una mascella leggendo frasi come «Scrivere è come baciare, solo senza labbra», che sapeva fin dall'inizio dove l'autore andava a parare e non si aspettava altro che struggimento allo stato puro, amore p...more
“Gut Gegen Nordwind” is a clever, funny and thought-provoking novel about how the virtual on-line world can uncover our hidden needs and desires and provide a unique platform for attraction and relationships on a completely different level.

No outro dia, enquanto via a estatísticas do nosso pequeno blog, reparei que várias pessoas pesquisavam pela nossa opinião face a este livro e a sua sequela. Ora, quando posso fazer a vontade aos meus leitores, não me importo nada de a fazer e assim sendo decidi partir em busca deste livro misterioso que era "Quando sopra o vento norte".

Subject: Love Virtually
Dear Prospective Reader,
You will, in all likelihood, find this book a pleasant break from all that you have been reading or trying to read lately. It has a very different format and makes for a snappy read. Written entirely as an exchange of emails, I found it utterly riveting and couldn't stop myself from finishing it quickly. It's not the sort of book that you would put down and ponder while reading.

Der Roman "Gut gegen Nordwind" liest sich, als wäre es eine meiner Geschichten. Ich muss immer wieder an "ihn" denken. Bei jeder neuen Zeile. Immer wenn er seine Hochphasen hatte, und mir förmlich die Klamotten direkt vom Leib gerissen hätte, mich fühlen hätte wollen, daran musste ich denken, bei jedem Schub "Erotik", "Sinnlichkeit" in diesem Buch. Und das "Schlimmste", du hast mir das Buch empfohlen, vermutlich wusstest du ganz genau wie ich auf dieses Buch reagieren würde. Haben wir den passen...more
OMG!!!! Ame cada palabra, pagina, correo de este libro
fue impresionante, no sabia que era narrado mediante correos y debo decir que me encanto!!! ya habia leido uno asi pero este fue muchisimo mejor.
Hubo una enorme sonrisa en mi boca desde el principio, carcajadas iban y venían.
Como una historia tan hermosa puede comenzar por una equivocación, es increible lo que uno puede encontrar mediante este medio, todas las emociones, los sentimientos, los anhelos, el misterio, cada una de las sonrisas, la...more

La verdad es que esperaba comenzar con el tercero de la saga de Cassandra Palmer pero se me han hecho pesados y tediosos ¬¬ es más abandoné la lectura por varios días, así de grave estaba y hoy me lo llevé al trabajo decidida a sacar de mi mente a los vampiros, pitias y magos y no me arrepentí. Lo amé, disfruté cada palabra de principio a fin, excelente.

I downloaded this as a Radio Play featuring David Tennant and Emilia Fox. I was skeptical at first. Starting out it didn't seem like it would hold my interest for long; a problem, since it's less than 45 minutes! However, I was really surprised at how into it I got. In the beginning, I thought the male character, Leo, was a bit of an ass. But as the story went on, I found myself chastising the female protagonist, Emmi, for being just a bit dim and shallow while Leo was more practical, and ration...more
Firstly, I liked it. Quite a lot, actually.
What I probably liked the most was the whole concept of falling in love only through the words, how the mutual and continual opening up to one another only through an email communication creates really strong feelings, maybe even love. And yet, as it was stressed many times in the book, as strong as this feeling may be it lacks the connection with reality and it's degraded to lower level just because the main characters have never met. But is it really...more

"Sargies Ziemeļvēja"
Katram, kurš kaut kad mūžā ir nosūtījis elektronisko vēstuli, ir jāizlasa Daniela Glatauera, 2006. gadā sarakstīto, visskaistāko virtuālā laikmeta romānu "Sargies Ziemeļvēja", kurā ir stāstīts par to, ka mūsdienu cilvēka dzīve var būt atkarīga no viena vienīga aplama burta, kā arī par to, ka mūsdienās ļoti aktuāla ir brīvā laika pavadīšana virtuālajā telpā, jo tieši tā ir darbības norises vieta.

Als ich gestern im Buchladen stand konnte ich mich plötzlich daran erinnern, dass ich über Gut gegen Nordwind schon irgendwo gelesen habe und dass ich mir damals gesagt habe „Das musst du unbedingt lesen!“. Da ich eine lange Zugreise vor mir hatte kaufte ich es kurzerhand und an der Kasse wurde mir prophezeit, dass ich heute wiederkommen würde um ein neues Buch zu kaufen da es unmöglich sei diese Geschichte aus der Hand zu legen.

C’è un’immensa poesia in un titolo come Le ho mai raccontato del vento del Nord, una poesia tale da invogliare il lettore a comprare il libro solo per portarsi a casa il titolo. Spesso però accade che oltre al titolo c’è poco altro e sfogliando le pagine tutta la poesia contenuta all’inizio scompare senza lasciare traccia della sua esistenza.
