Аннотация

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, he 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 which informed his bestselling crime novels. It is written with scalpel-like precision, at once poetic and insightful in its depiction of a true working-class hero.
