About the author
Heinz G. Konsalik
572 books83 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.

Um livro que se lê de um fôlego. Uma história envolvente que nos relata a história de uma mulher fascinara que como outra apenas procura um homem para amar. Recomendo

Trata-se de uma obra de ficção sobre um médico da czarina Maria, segunda esposa de Ivan o terrível.
Bastante disparatado

Nunca tinha lido nada deste autor, já o conhecia de nome, sei que tem centenas de títulos já publicados e vendeu milhões.
Fiquei curiosa, de facto é um magnífico contador de histórias, muito simples e direto.
Talvez até simples demais, não sei se foi azar pelo título escolhido mas achei tão simples que parecia dirigido ao público infatojuvenil.
