      It is a time of reckoning for Jos Mar a lvarez, an aristocratic Spanish banker living in a Swiss village with his American wife. Nearing the end of a long and tumultuous life, he's overcome by hallucinatory memories of the past. Among his most cherished memories are those of his boyhood in 1950s Franco-era Spain and the bucolic afternoons he spent salmon fishing on the Sella River with his father, uncle, and much-loved younger brother. But these fond reveries are soon eclipsed by something greater. Jos 's regrets and dark family secrets are flooding back, as is the devastating tragedy that drove Jos into exile and makes him bear the burden of a soul-deep guilt.

      The hundred-foot journey
    • Der buddhistische Mönch Seido Oda soll Japan verlassen, um in Brooklyn den Bau eines Tempels zu beaufsichtigen. Dem in kontemplativer Abgeschiedenheit lebenden Oda ist dies gar nicht recht, doch er muss sich dem Willen seines Ordens fügen. Was dem freundlichen, in sich gekehrten Priester im lauten Westen zustößt, ist ebenso absurd wie herzerwärmend. Man nennt ihn plötzlich »Reverend Oda«, zwingt ihm die Beschäftigung mit New-Age-Kristallen auf und konfrontiert ihn mit »Buddhismus für Dummies«. Aber so richtig ins Schwitzen bringt ihn Jennifer, deren lässige Haltung und scheinbare Respektlosigkeit ihr wahres Interesse am Buddhismus – und an Oda – lange verbergen. Wieder einmal bestätigt sich für Seido Oda, was er schon lange wusste: Der Weg zur Erleuchtung ist lang und steinig ...
