Choeurs, chants, clairons,
Avides de musique,
Navire de partitions,
Tirant d'eau somptueux,
Intriques de construction,
Quille flottante en perdition,
Ultime voyage en dérision,
Ébats lyriques sur la proue
Ses musiciens maîtrisent leur voyage.

Une découverte historique romancée et documentée illustre bien ce naufrage célèbre.

Southampton, 10.4.1912: Die "Titanic" läuft zur Jungfernfahrt aus. Die Musiker des Schiffsorchesters sind aus aller Herren Länder eher zufällig zusammengekommen. Ihre Lebensgeschichten bilden den Mittelpunkt des Romans.

Fabelagtig god roman om fem orkestermusikeres rejse med Titanic. Fosnes Hansen fortæller musikernes respektive historier med Titanic som baggrund, så man får et levende indtryk af skibets afrejse, sejladsen over Atlanten og det fatale sammenstød med isbjerget, der sænkede skibet, der ikke kunne synke.

Among the many myths surrounding the 1912 sinking of the Titanic was the notion that the ship's band played on until the end. Norwegian novelist Erik Fosnes Hansen has seized upon that story as the hinge for this fascinating, if at times distressing, book about the musicians aboard the fatal voyage. The fictional band members, who hail from across Europe, find a certain kinship on the vessel besides that of a life spent chasing musical dreams. Their lives, each treated almost as novellas, reflect the tragedies the war will soon bring to Europe. The whole event is played out metaphorically in the tales of simple people involved in tragic events.
