An early gem from the creator of the Kurt Wallander series,
charting the life of a principled man through tragedy, heartbreak,
true love and the battle for a nation's soul. "A very engaging
portrait . . . There is a powerful lack of sentimentality to the
telling of the story [and] a lovely and genuinely moving love story
at the heart of the book." Liam Heylin, Irish Examiner At 3 p.m. on
a Saturday afternoon in 1911, Oskar Johansson is caught in a blast
in an industrial accident. The local newspaper reports him dead,
but they are mistaken. Because Oskar Johansson is a born survivor.
Though crippled, Oskar finds the strength to go on living and
working. The Rock Blaster charts his long professional life - his
hopes and dreams, sorrows and joys. His relationship with the woman
whose love saved him, with the labour movement that gave him a
cause to believe in, and with his children, who do not share his
ideals. Henning Mankell's first published novel is steeped in the
burning desire for social justice that informed his bestselling
crime novels. Remarkably assured for a debut, it is written with
scalpel-like precision, at once poetic and insightful in its
depiction of a true working-class hero. Translated from the Swedish
by George Goulding
