| b524995 | Linda lui raconta tout. Il s'etait appuye contre le frigo, les bras croises. Il est toujours dans cette position quand il ecoute. Je m'en souviens depuis toujours. Un geant aux bras croises qui se dressait devant moi et qui me regardait de tout la-haut. Je pensais que mon papa a moi etait comme une montagne. Papa Montagne. | Henning Mankell | ||
| d69a88b | Mais il ne l'a pas oubliee, il ne l'oubliera jamais, elle etait le grand amour de sa vie. Et elle, maintenant, je la retrouve en train de se biturer en plein midi a poil dans sa cuisine.

| e9fd1b6 | A few minutes later he returned, shaking his head. "It must have been Bjork's private map," he said. "I couldn't find it." "Call the bookseller and wake him up," said Wallander. "I want a map here now." "Are you aware that it's not even six in the morning on Midsummer Day?" Svedberg wondered. "It can't be helped. Call him. And send a car over to pick up the map."

| 97c9b0a | Dans mon enfance, la Suede etait un pays ou les gens reprisaient encore leurs chaussettes. J'ai meme appris a le faire. Puis soudain, un jour, c'etait fini. On a commencer a jeter les chaussettes trouees. Personne ne prenait plus la peine de les raccommoder. Toute la societe s'est transformee. Le fait de jeter les affaires usees, c'est devenu la seule regle qui concernait vraiment tout le monde. Bon, il devait bien y en avoir qui continuaie.. | Henning Mankell | ||

| df4b17f | Martinsson fired. Wallander watched Lucia fly back and put his hand up to his shoulder. The gun fell from his hand and landed outside the counter. With a bellow Martinsson yanked himself free of the guy ropes and launched himself at the counter, straight at the wounded man. The counter collapsed, and Martinsson landed in a jumble of leather jackets. Wallander lunged forwards and grabbed the gun from mud. He saw Skinhead dash past him into c.. | henning-mankell magnus-martinsson wallander | Henning Mankell | |

Ma si rese conto di non averemonete.Un uomo anziano con due grucce usci da una stanza muovendosi con grande fatica.Quando Wallander gli chiese se pote sse cambiargli un banconota, l'uomo scosse il capo, mise la mano nella tasca della vestaglia e gli diede le monete necessarie per il caffe. Wallander rimase con la banconota tesa senza sapere cosa fare. --Moriro fra poco|| disse l'uomo so.. | Henning Mankell | ||
| acb916c | Martinsson had sifted through the tip-offs. Everything that the police learnt was fed into a computer. Then he did a rough sort. The most ridiculous ones never got beyond the print-outs. "Hulda Yngveson phoned from Vallby and said that is was the disapproving hand of God that dealt the blow," said Martinsson. "She always calls," sighed Rydberg. "If a calf runs off, it's because God is displeased." "I put her on the C.F. list," said Martinss.. | magnus-martinsson wallander | Henning Mankell | |
| eae3168 | It was a feeling which stayed with him after he got back home to his terrace house on the Kristianstad road. When he had finished his dinner and played with his children for a while, he went out with the dog. Martinsson lived in the neighbourhood, so he decided to stop by and tell he and Noren had seen. The dog was a Labrador bitch and Martinsson had asked recently if he could join the waiting list for puppies. | labrador magnus-martinsson | Henning Mankell | |
| 9f702b7 | The wife of the dead man had thrown herself down in the mud, and her wails were so piercing that several of the policemen couldn't tolerate the sound and had moved away. To his surprise, Wallander saw that the only one who was able to handle the grieving woman and the anguished children was Martinsson. The youngest policeman on the force, who so far in his career had never even been forced to notify someone of a relative's death. He had hel.. | magnus-martinsson wallander | Henning Mankell | |
| 050f0f9 | Could you hold Martinsson's flashlight for a moment?" Wallander said to Hansson. "Why?" "Just do it, please." Martinsson handed Hansson his flashlight. Wallander took a step forward and hit Martinsson in the face. However, since it was hard to judge the distance between them in the shifting beams of the flashlights, the blow didn't land squarely on the jaw as intended. It was more of a gentle nudge. "What the hell are you doing?" "What the .. | henning-mankell magnus-martinsson wallander | Henning Mankell | |

| 25b297d | In many ways Martinsson was the opposite of Svedberg: he was coming up to 30, born in Trollhattan, and had set his sights early on a police career. As a police officer, Martinsson was impulsive and sometime careless, but he often had good ideas and his ambition meant that he worked tirelessly when he though he could see a solution to a problem. | police wallander | Henning Mankell | |

| 7e7dd52 | At a time which seemed to him as far distant as the dim and distant past of his ancestors, his father, Okumana, the man who could make better spear tips than anyone else, had explained to him that there was always a way out of any situation, as long as one was alive. Death was the last hiding place. That was something to keep in reserve until there was no other way of avoiding an apparently insuperable threat. There were always escape route.. | Henning Mankell | ||

Non vi sono angoli bui, tutto e visibile, nessuno finge di essere quello che non e.

| e5a46ca | Per Wallander la vita era un succedersi di problemi pratici che dovevano essere risolti, allo stesso tempo sapeva di non aveva la capacita di migliorare la propria esistenza o quella di altri con formule filosofiche. E non si era mai lamentato di vivere nell'epoca che il caso o il destino gli avevano assegnato. Si nasce quando si nasce e si muore quando viene la nostra ora, e questi per Wallander erano i limiti dell'esistenza. Ma in quella .. | Henning Mankell | ||
