A New York Times BestsellerThe Gargoyle: the mesmerizing story of one man's descent into personal hell and his quest for salvation.On a dark road in the middle of the night, a car plunges into a ravine. The driver survives the crash, but his injuries confine him to a hospital burn unit. There the mysterious Marianne Engel, a sculptress of grotesques, enters his life. She insists they were lovers in medieval Germany, when he was a mercenary and she was a scribe in the monastery of Engelthal. As she spins the story of their past lives together, the man's disbelief falters; soon, even the impossible can no longer be dismissed.

The spread of modernity throughout the non-Western world has had transformative effects not only on governments and economies but on the lives of individuals as well

Ulykken rammer, ofte voldsomt, dem, der mindst venter det – præcis ligesom kærligheden.Efter at være rullet ned ad en skrænt i sin bil ligger en mand på hospitalet. Han har alvorlige forbrændinger over det meste af kroppen. Han udholder smerte, vansiring og pinefulde behandlinger, der skal fjerne hans døde og rådnende hud, kun i håbet om at blive rask nok til at gøre en ende på sit liv. Men så dukker Marianne Engel – gargoil-skulptør – op. Hun er overbevist om, at hun plejede ham, i et tidligere liv. Hun beretter om deres møde i det fjortende århundredes Tyskland på klostret Engelthal, hvor hun var nonne. Ved at væve historier ind i historien – fabler om kærlighed i Japan, Island, Italien og England – bringer Marianne langsomt skønhed og kærlighed ind i hans liv. Gargoilen er en vildtvoksende, virtuos, smuk rejse, der fejer hen over århundreder og kontinenter. Når den slutter, har du blot ét ønske – at læse den igen.
