«Profundidades» is the literary novel by Henning Mankell, published by Tusquets Editores in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
In October 1914, a few months after the outbreak of World War I, the Swedish hydrographer Lars Tobiasson-Svartman boards the battleship Svea on a secret mission to measure sea depths. During the voyage he discovers a small island inhabited by Sara Fredrika, a solitary young woman, and their encounter shatters the fragile balance of his life, divided between Stockholm and the desire to return to the island. The novel probes the cracks in the mind when the surroundings no longer fit.
Work number 631 in the Andanzas collection from Tusquets Editores. Spanish translation of the Swedish original, titled «Djup».
For Mankell readers seeking a more literary and introspective work than his Wallander series, and for those who enjoy psychological fiction set during World War I.
Henning Georg Mankell was a Swedish crime writer, children's author, and dramatist, best known for a series of mystery novels starring his most noted creation, Inspector Kurt Wallander. He also wrote a number of plays and screenplays for television.
