These places are also often populated by peripatetic characters, like Zweig himself. People who travel, people who shift from world to world, people with a certain social mobility, people who can escape their past and embrace the future, people with stories to tell. The author portrayed Kuro, the Japanese film actor, by using stereotypical language: “One of my derights,’ he told us, ‘is to rearn about different culture…it is my legret that I cannot communicate with the soldiers on the shoot..They do not speak any ranguage we can discover.”-

For those who’ve read any of Colin Cotterill’s previous Jimm Juree mysteries, this is a prequel to the series. Jimm’s mother has not yet bought her rundown resort on the Gulf of Siam, so that aspect of the setting isn’t featured. In this novel, Jimm, Sissy and Arnie are all on a movie set. Jimm is a journalist and has got her editor’s agreement to a story about a day in the life of a movie extra. The movie is supposed to take place in Siam in 1650, and will be the latest movie to star Dan Jensen, a toothy American superstar. Yes, it is intended to be a realistic portrayal of 17th century Siam, but (of course) the movie won’t sell without an America star. Sissy has managed to get Arnie and Jimm roles as extras in the movie. Extras? Yes, there are extras playing soldiers running amok and being killed. It’s dead easy.

[1] [ permanent dead link] The Swedish language audiobook I listened to is read by Martin Halland. His narration I have given five stars. He speaks slowly and clearly. You hear very word and cannot help but be drawn in. If you know Swedish, I highly recommend the Swedish audiobook. In Swedish, the book’s title is Amoklöparen.

May be that is his secret for his ability to allure the reader so very fast and so unceasingly.

Ten years ago, Colin became involved in child protection in the region and set up an NGO in Phuket which he ran for the first two years. After two more years of study in child abuse issues, and one more stint in Phuket, he moved on to ECPAT, an international organization combating child prostitution and pornography. He established their training program for caregivers. L'io narrante, tanto caro a Zweig, permette al lettore di accomodarsi accanto al vero protagonista della storia (un medico europeo che fa ritorno in patria da una colonia d'Oriente) sul ponte di una nave che sta riportando entrambi a casa e di rivivere, attraverso le sue parole, la sua incomprensibile follia, la sua delirante ebbrezza, il suo tragico rammarico. The book is a prequel to mystery novels featuring Jimm Juree, a journalist and sleuth, that readers like me have discovered. This tale takes place in northern Thailand where Jimm is on assignment as an extra on a Hollywood movie set. Accompanied by her brothers, Sissy and Arny, and a Burmese friend, Khin, a history professor, the four find themselves involved in a mystery surrounding the movie. One reviewer described the siblings as “a fat girl, a bodybuilder, and a transsexual.”Zweig studied in Austria, France, and Germany before settling in Salzburg in 1913. In 1934, driven into exile by the Nazis, he emigrated to England and then, in 1940, to Brazil by way of New York. Finding only growing loneliness and disillusionment in their new surroundings, he and his second wife committed suicide. Avrupa'ya giden gemide yolcu olan bir adam geminin gürültüsünden rahatsız olduğu için gündüz uyuyup gece sessiz güverteye çıkar ve karşısına onun gibi gecenin karanlığına saklanmış bir adam çıkar. Hindistan'da doktorluk yapmış olan bu adam yolcuya başından geçen bir olayı anlatır zira artık içinde tutamamaktadır. Çok zengin bir kadının ona gelip ondan bir konuda yardım istediğini ama kadının dominant tavırlarından rahatsız olduğunu için onu reddettiğini anlatır. Fakat sonra söz konusu olanın bir insan hayatı olduğunu ve kendisininde bir doktor olduğunu düşünüp büyük bir pişmanlığa kapılır. Ve kadına yardım etmek için çabalarken amokun etkisi altına girer. You will experience the intense action through Amok's exciting fighting sequences. Don't hesitate to use your gun to stay alive! Zweig however uses it exceedingly well, because the first narrator, the anonymous Ich (Zweig?) provides us the readers with the best seat on the actual story. We are there. We talk to the second narrator. He also moves in and out smoothly, elegantly, so that some shifts in the perspective are not identified as first or second story until we have read a bit further on into the paragraph of the shifting views.

A widely accepted explanation links amok with male honour (amok by women and children is virtually unknown). [14] Sonuçta hepimiz bir yerde pişmanlıklar yaşamış insanlarız ama kitabı okurken doktoru bu raddeye getiren bu pişmanlık ve kısmende doktorun tutkusu beni çok şaşırttı. Çünkü gerçekten çok yoğundu. Bir insan bu raddeye nasıl gelir diye düşündüm. Başka birinden okusam belki bu beni rahatsız edebilirdi ama Zweig'dan okuyunca öyle olmuyor. Çünkü onun hisleri böylesine yoğun anlatmasına, duyguyu böylesine geçirmesine oldukça alıştım ve bunu seviyorum da. Üstelik doktorun yaşadığı bu durumu anlatan bir hastalıkta olması durumu oldukça inandırıcı kılıyor 'Amok'. Genellikle Malezya halkında rastlanan, öldürücü bir delilik hali Amok. Doktorda yaşadığı durum karşısında bu deliliğin pençesine düşüyor. Early travelers in Asia sometimes describe a kind of military amok, in which soldiers apparently facing inevitable defeat suddenly burst into a frenzy of violence which so startled their enemies that it either delivered victory or at least ensured what the soldier in that culture considered an honourable death. When the Lao books gained in popularity, Cotterill set up a project to send books to Lao children and sponsor trainee teachers. The Books for Laos programme elicits support from fans of the books and is administered purely on a voluntary basis.

In his memoirs, The World of Yesterday, he describes his method of composition. It was based on one word: trimming. He would write and write, and then his most enjoyable activity was cutting things out and paring his writing to the bone. It seems that he would cut 100,000 words to half that. It was published in 1922, and it was an immediate great success and was translated into several languages immediately. During the interwar years, Zweig was the author who was most translated into other languages, worldwide. I think this is the most important fact that may act in his defence. His writings were welcomed by many different cultures. His mind was as cosmopolitan as it could be. Native policemen in Java, 1911. The man in the center is holding a sangga mara, a 2-forked pole for catching amok.
