Polar, humor and Culture

Philip Kerr, born in 1956 in Edinburgh (Scotland), is a British crime writer and childhood and youth literature. He studied at the University of Birmingham, and worked for a time as a copywriter for Saatchi and Saatchi agency before becoming a freelance journalist and writer of detective novels in 1989. The success of The Berlin Trilogy, whose hero Bernhard Gunther, a private investigator whose adventures are set in Nazi Germany, led him to devote himself to writing full time. Fatal Prague, his latest novel, was published in 2013.
"Berlin, 1942. Bernie Gunther, a captain in the SS intelligence service, is back from the front of the East. He discovers a changed city, but for the worse. Between the blackout, rationing, and murderer who frightens the population, all combine to make life miserable and frightening. Assigned to the homicide department, Bernie investigating the murder of a Dutch railway worker. One night he surprised a man violence to a woman in the street. Who is she? Bernie takes excessive risks by taking this unknown in Prague, where General Reinhard Heydrich in person invited to celebrate his appointment as Reichsprotektor of Bohemia and Moravia. "
Second novel by writer I read and I recognize fall under the spell of what Bernie Gunther cleverly created by Philip Kerr. A German policeman operating during World War II in the middle of the SS and Gestapo, he was thinking. If Bernie is fiction, the novel is full of characters who really existed as Reinhard Heydrich, among others, and police intrigue slips masterfully at the heart of events proved historic, reinforcing the thickness of the novel. Philip Kerr is very familiar about it, besides the historical notions, he sprinkles the text references to German culture, the book then playing on two tables, a police investigation and an enrichment of our general culture.
In terms of the plot, well made, fatal Prague sinscrit in line with the Agatha Christie thrillers or better yet, Gaston Leroux, he fact that talks of a fatal shooting in a closed room! So I summarize, a rich and informative historical backdrop, some beautiful movement detective story where Bernie Gunther discovered that it is just one piece in the middle of a Machiavellian plan, and devastating humor jajouterai Kerr, black and bitter, all the more paradoxical as lépoque and places sy does not lend a priori - Nazism and the extermination of the Jews through reflections dropped here or there as "DAfter our intelligence services, some of these Czechs are sacred pickpockets. Jopinai. That seemed fair enough, since we piqued their home. "And I can not resist this another example" But she left that job a great job because, she claimed, he narrêtait no fiddle. A predicament that I understood perfectly. I could not help but fiddle too. "
Limpayable na Bernie certainly not finished me good book reading time, for which I thank in advance Philip Kerr.

"- Being dead is like being a whore, claimed Hamperl. The main thing is happening in his time on the back while someone else me, in this case does the job. The procedure may seem embarrassing, sometimes even slightly ridiculous, but it has nothing repugnant. Has anyone nayant never attended an autopsy, I would advise to try to see only the funny side of it. If this begins to have air repugnant, then this is the time to leave the room before quun incident occurs. The smell of a corpse is generally unpleasant enough without having to bear the vomit. Is that clear? "
