The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway-a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors. Unbeknownst to them, this is a game in which only one can be left standing, and the circus is but the stage for a remarkable battle of imagination and will. Despite themselves, however, Celia and Marco tumble headfirst into love-a deep, magical love that makes the lights flicker and the room grow warm whenever they so much as brush hands. True love or not, the game must play out, and the fates of everyone involved, from the cast of extraordinary circus per­formers to the patrons, hang in the balance, suspended as precariously as the daring acrobats overhead. Written in rich, seductive prose, this spell-casting novel is a feast for the senses and the heart.

– Ved du, at du har en skovtrold siddende på bagsædet.– Ja, det ved jeg.– Så ikke noget.Da en yngre kvindelig politibetjent kører ind i Lapland for at finde en mistænkt forbryder, er det som at køre ind i en anden verden, hvor naturen tager over og alle gængse regler er ophævet. Alt er levende, det vrimler af væsner, der er både forbløffende og foruroligende. Hurtigt hvirvles hun ind i jagten på en uanseelig gedde, men hvem jager egentlig hvem?Juhani Karila modtog overvældende ros for sin debutroman, der allerede inden udgivelsen var solgt til bl.a. Frankrig; den fineste finske prosa, hvis genre bedst kan karakteriseres som blidt ironisk, sprudlende, folkloristisk øko-thriller-komedie og -kærlighedsroman.”Jeg lod mig fuldkommen opsluge af romanen og accepterede de mest besynderlige begivenheder, fordi fryden ved fortællingen og nysgerrigheden drev mig frem … en vidunderlig bog” Weekendavisen ”En vild pageturner med elementer af cli-fi, thriller, kærlighed og dannelse. Den er på sin egen måde selvfornægtende, vil ikke slå sig stort op, men den kan alligevel slet ikke lade være. Frydefuld læsning fra start til slut” SkrivForLivet.dk

En barsk og sansemættet fortælling om livsvilkårene i et af verdens brændpunkter.Forord af Michael Bo:Man ved præcis, hvor man er i Ayaz Shahs fortælling.Og man har på samme tid ingen anelse om, hvor man er. Man kan placere det centrale torv i byen og den katolske kirke ret nøjagtigt i forhold til hovedpersonens hus og den store gennemløbende gade. Men hvor i verden udspiller historien sig?Og præcis hvornår?Der er gode spor at følge på det hele. Interessante spor. Elegante spor. Men vi har ikke styr på, hvor de leder hen, for de har deres egen logik og en helt egen appetit på at overraske og hele tiden zoome ud og over i det magiske.Ayaz Shahs fortælling er specifik og abstrakt på samme tid. Det er nemt nok at redegøre for, hvordan karaktererne hænger sammen med hinanden, og alligevel sætter man tit i fuldt firspring efter bogen, der insisterer på sine egne vildveje. Man føler, man har været i den bog, talt med de mennesker, men pludselig afslører der sig en slugt foran én, og man aner, man slet ikke er der, hvor man troede.La Victoria er en vild bog, en generøs bog.Lidt om Ayaz Shah:Ayaz Shah er en dansk forfatter, som har tilbragt syv år i Latinamerika, primært i Venezuela og Argentina, hvor han blev inspireret til at skrive bogen.
