Krátky popis
'Merriman excels at recreating the physicality of their
experiences: the smell of dense clay, the click-clack of a woman
walking down the street above in high heels... Merriman has
burrowed her way deep into interviews, news reports and Stasi files
to fashion an impressive real life page-turner.' Guardian'An
audacious and compelling tale, told with narrative tension and
novelistic drive, creating a fascinating portrayal of life in
Berlin in the early days of the Wall.' Observer'A fantastic story,
exceedingly well told...more gripping than a thriller. The story
arc, through betrayal and disaster to triumph, is perfect...a
cracking tale that deserves retelling.' The Times'Helena Merriman's
book is a tour de force... The chapters on the day of the escape
are possibly the most suspenseful I have ever read, in fiction as
well as nonfiction.' Scotsman'its skilful blend of a dynamic
protagonist, intrigue, spooks, deception, and a love divided imbues
Tunnel 29 with all the qualities of a taut Cold War spy thriller.'
Sunday Business Post'Captivating... Ms Merriman's well-crafted book
does justice to the extraordinary bravery of her characters.'
Economist'This new book... allows readers to slip into Joachim's
shoes as if living this extraordinary experience... This is a
remarkable tale, beautifully told and utterly compelling.' BBC
History Magazine-------------------------He's just escaped from one
of the world's most brutal regimes.Now, he decides to tunnel back
in.It's summer, 1962, and Joachim Rudolph, a student, is digging a
tunnel under the Berlin Wall. Waiting on the other side in East
Berlin - dozens of men, women and children, all willing to risk
everything to escape.From the award-winning creator of the
acclaimed BBC Radio 4 podcast, Tunnel 29 is the true story of the
most remarkable escape tunnel dug under the Berlin Wall. Drawing on
hundreds of hours of interviews with the survivors, and thousands
of pages of Stasi documents, Helena Merriman brilliantly reveals
the stranger-than-fiction story of the ingenious group of
student-diggers, the glamorous red-haired messenger, the American
News network which films the escape, and the Stasi spy who betrays
it. For what Joachim doesn't know as he burrows closer to East
Germany, is that the escape operation has been infiltrated. As the
escapees prepare to crawl through the cold, wet darkness, above
them, the Stasi are closing in.Tunnel 29 is about what happens when
people lose their freedom - and how some will do anything to win it
back.Acclaim for the TUNNEL 29 podcast:'Combining the fun of a
thriller that we know will end happily with grim perspective on
history and tyranny... stunning.' New Yorker'Reminiscent of a savvy
Netflix block buster series.' Evening Standard'A truly exciting
yarn... creates a sense for the listener of being right there in
the tunnel, experiencing the dangers.' Observer
