Críticas
Dark and wonderfully atmospheric ... What makes The Tempest truly special is the risks that Sem-Sandberg takes with narrative conventions, the way that his prose seems to break every rule in the creative writing handbook, and yet does so joyfully, recklessly and utterly convincingly. That such stylistic complexity is rendered in a manner that feels entirely natural is testimony to the great skill of the translator, Anna Paterson ... It's as if the book's most significant borrowing from Shakespeare's play is not the island setting, but rather Prospero's total control of narrative, the omnipotence of the author-magician. (Alex Preston Spectator)
Peels back layers of secrecy, evasion and guilt ... Captures the relentless, dark dream-flow of Andreas's thoughts in simple, lucid prose ... There are echoes of Shakespeare's play in this Tempest. But themes of forgiveness and repentance aren't so obvious here; the lingering shadows of complicity remain dense and murky. (The Times)
The story of Andreas Lehman's complex relationship with his sister . . . hypnotic. (Ystads Allehanda)
A small masterpiece. (Expressen)
Steve Sem-Sandberg is . . . a kind of Prospero in his own right with mastery of intrigue, characters and plot twists . . . Shakespeare's play echoes and vibrates through the pages . . . The result is a tale that both shimmers and threatens. (Svenska Dagbladet)
To catch sight of oneself, to learn about one's own history, to challenge the established picture, the story - this is The Tempest . . . We see the historical events . . . but we also see the wounds and grief the story has left the individual with. (Dagens Nyheter)
Steve Sem-Sandberg moves closer to the present with his latest novel. But mankind's darkness remains unchanged, and his portrayal of it is masterful. (Sydsvenskan)
'Ambitious.' (Sunday Times)
'With faint echos of Shakespeare's play, this is a dark, elegant and skillfully constructed novel which vividly evokes its unusual setting.' (Mail on Sunday)
'Sinister mysteries thicken and swirl like the island's mist as this densely atmospheric novel progresses, culminating in a conclusion that avoids easy answers.' (Daily Mail)
Reseña del editor
I should not have gone back to the island but did it all the same. After many years away, Andreas returns to his childhood home on a small island off the Norwegian coast. He is there to sort through the belongings of his late foster father in their decaying old house, the Yellow Villa. But he soon finds himself overwhelmed with unexpected memories, and begins to uncover not only the shadowy history of the island, but the mysterious truth about his family's past ... Rich in shimmering echoes from Shakespeare's play, Steve Sem-Sandberg's The Tempest is a hypnotic portrayal of the inherited guilt that seeps through generations, haunting an island overgrown with myths.
