«Die Sintflut» is the historical and dramatic novel by Swedish author Marianne Fredriksson, published by Hitzeroth in hardcover, in German.
In ancient Mesopotamia, around 2750 BC, the shipbuilder Noah and his family are the only survivors of a great flood. Fredriksson turns the biblical story into an allegory of human life and addresses freedom, oppression, passion, fear, love and gender relations in the face of disaster.
This German edition, translated from Swedish by Ulrike Landzettel, was published in 1991; the original title is Syndafloden.
For readers of historical fiction and reinterpretations of myths and biblical stories.
