Par un froid matin de janvier 2006, la police de Hudiksvall, dans le nord de la Suède, fait une effroyable découverte. Dix-neuf personnes ont été massacrées à l’arme blanche dans un petit village isolé. La policière Vivi Sundberg penche pour l’acte d’un déséquilibré. Mais la juge de Helsingborg, Birgitta Roslin, qui s’intéresse à l’affaire car les parents adoptifs de sa mère sont parmi les victimes, est persuadée que ce crime n’est pas l’œuvre d’un fou. Elle mène une enquête parallèle à partir d’un ruban de soie rouge trouvé sur les lieux qui raconte une tout autre histoire et l’entraîne dans un voyage vers d’autres époques et d’autres continents, et surtout en Chine, cette nouvelle superpuissance en pleine expansion sur la scène mondiale. À son insu, Birgitta Roslin est prise dans l’engrenage d’une machination géopolitique qui finira par mettre sa vie en danger.
Né en 1948, Henning Mankell partage sa vie entre la Suède et le Mozambique. Lauréat de nombreux prix littéraires, outre la célèbre « série Wallander », il est l'auteur de romans sur l'Afrique ou des questions de société, de pièces de théâtre et d’ouvrages pour la jeunesse. Son dernier titre paru en Seuil Policiers, L’Homme inquiet, est l'ultime enquête de Kurt Wallander.

Né en 1948 dans le Härjedalen, Henning Mankell partage sa vie entre la Suède et le Mozambique où il dirige, à Maputo, la troupe du Teatro Avenida. Il est marié à Eva Bergman, fille du grand Ingmar. On ne compte plus les millions d'exemplaires vendus dans le monde ni les prix qui ont récompensé sa célèbre série de romans policiers centrée autour de l'inspecteur Kurt Wallander -- Grand Prix de l'Académie suédoise pour la littérature policière, Deutsche Krimi-Preis en Allemagne, CWA Gold Dagger en Angleterre, Prix Mystère de la Critique, prix Qualibre 38, Trophée 813 en France.
Mankell est également très apprécié pour ses romans "africains" (Comédia Infantil, le Seuil 2003, et Le Fils du vent, le Seuil 2004), pour ses pièces de théâtre et ses livres destinés à la jeunesse.
L'homme qui souriait, est le dernier titre de la série Kurt Wallander à paraître au Seuil mais le 4ème dans l'ordre chronologique originel de la série (ci-dessous, avec entre parenthèses les dates de publication en France), ordre qui n'est pas celui pour lequel le Seuil avait opté : nous avons d'abord commencé par les titres les plus récents, puis avec le succès de la série en France et à l'instar des Anglais et des Allemands, nous avons acquis et publié les titres plus anciens.
Depuis une dizaine d’années il vit et travaille au Mozambique, « ce qui aiguise le regard que je pose sur mon propre pays », dit-il.
Mais si Kurt Wallander prend sa retraite, la série policière ne s'arrête pas pour autant : sa fille Linda prend la relève ; elle sera l'héroïne de Avant le gel, à paraître au Seuil en automne 2005.

Paperback. Etat : Good. A marriage, like a kingdom, flourishes when both partners stand together, not in competition, but in collaboration. Marriage is a sacred and powerful union-one where two individuals come together not just in love, but in purpose, vision, and mutual support. It is a partnership designed to flourish when both people embrace their unique roles and responsibilities.Stand As A King and Rule As A Queen will take you on a journey with Kathleen and me as we uncover the principles and practices that shaped our blueprint for building healthy relationships-one that is now being embraced by couples and families across the world.Kathleen and I have learned through our years of experience that two are better than one. The journey of marriage is filled with ups and downs, victories and challenges, but when two people walk side by side in strength and understanding, their bond grows deeper and their efforts yield good returns. Too often, relationships falter because individuals focus on their differences as obstacles rather than opportunities. The most successful marriages thrive when partners learn to rule together as a king and queen, understanding their value and function within their relationship while honouring each other's strengths.Every great kingdom requires structure, vision, leadership, and teamwork. A marriage is no different. By building your lives together with intentionality and purpose, you create a strong foundation for success. But this foundation requires more than just love-it needs unity, accountability, trust, emotional intelligence, and a willingness to embrace challenges rather than letting them dominate.A common misconception in marriage is the idea that one person holds greater significance than the other. Many couples struggle with power dynamics, believing that one spouse must lead while the other follows. But in truth, the strength of a marriage lies in mutual empowerment.A king without a queen lacks wisdom, emotional depth, and insight. A queen without a king lacks stability, security, and vision. Kathleen and I have discovered that true power comes from understanding your roles and embracing them with confidence. The king is responsible for setting the direction and protecting the family, while the queen nurtures, refines, and ensures that the emotional and relational aspects remain strong. These roles are not hierarchical-they are complementary.Embracing a team mindset transforms relationships. Instead of fighting for control, couples who work together build an environment of trust and collaboration. Unity in leadership does not mean agreeing on everything-it means making decisions that serve the family's best interests rather than individual desires. Ruling together as a team requires accountability, ensuring that both partners take responsibility for their actions and choices without blaming or dismissing the other.Standing as a king and ruling as a queen is not about power-it is about embracing responsibility, fostering love, and creating a life built on mutual respect and partnership. Marriage is strongest when partners work together, building a kingdom that reflects wisdom, grace, and unwavering commitment.Kathleen and I invite you to embark on this journey of growth, learning how to rule together, embrace your roles, and master the art of standing side by side in confidence and love. The challenges will come, but the rewards will far outweigh them. Together, you have the power to build your lives with purpose, maturity, and unwavering devotion. N° de réf. du vendeur 00103657819
