      Set in Vienna in 1914, a twenty-two-year-old medical student named Lucius is drawn to the battlefield by romantic notions of surgery. He enlists, hoping for a role in a well-organized field hospital, but instead finds himself at a makeshift outpost in a commandeered church in the Carpathian Mountains, struggling against typhus and an overwhelming sense of isolation. With most doctors having fled, only a mysterious nurse, Sister Margarete, remains to guide him. Lacking experience, Lucius must quickly adapt to the brutal realities of war medicine while developing feelings for Margarete. The situation intensifies when an unconscious soldier arrives, his uniform adorned with strange drawings. Lucius faces a critical choice that will irrevocably alter the fates of the doctor, the patient, and the nurse. This narrative weaves through the opulence of Imperial Vienna to the harshness of the Eastern Front, exploring themes of love, family, and the moral complexities of war. It is a poignant tale of the mistakes we make and the chances we have to seek redemption amidst the chaos of history.

      En plena época victoriana, Edgar Drake, un afinador de pianos especializado en los delicados Erard, es llamado por el ejército británico para viajar a Birmania y reparar un piano perteneciente al comandante médico Anthony Carroll. Carroll ha utilizado la música y la poesía para pacificar a las tribus locales, haciendo del piano una condición esencial para su misión en la selva birmana. Tras despedirse de su esposa en Londres, Drake inicia un largo viaje a través de Europa, el Mar Rojo y el Océano Índico, donde descubre paisajes impresionantes y personajes legendarios. Sin embargo, lo que le espera en Birmania es una realidad más oscura y compleja de lo que había imaginado. Atraído por una cultura donde las emociones se expresan con intensidad, Drake se enfrenta a su propio ser y a lo que el destino le depara. La narración, impregnada de sensualidad y lirismo, ofrece fascinantes reflexiones sobre la historia de Birmania y los enigmas de la música, llevando al lector a un mundo moldeado por mitos y autodescubrimiento. Mason logra capturar el encuentro entre opuestos en la naturaleza humana, donde la música emerge como el único puente entre lo aparentemente irreconciliable.

      El afinador de pianos2004
    • Rok 1886. Edgar Drake, uznany londyński stroiciel fortepianów, otrzymuje od armii zlecenie nastrojenia instrumentu w Birmie. Wyjątkowy egzemplarz marki Erard należy do majora Carrolla, ekscentrycznego komendanta fortu w dalekiej głuszy, który muzyką i poezją próbuje przekonać tubylców do rządów Imperium Brytyjskiego. Dla Drake'a trudna podróż na Daleki Wschód i rozłąka z ukochaną żoną są jak wygnanie. Coraz bardziej jednak oczarowuje go nie tylko charyzmatyczna postać Carrolla, ale też niczym Odyseusza syrenia pieśń Wschodu, działająca na zmysły i serce. Wyprawa staje się dla stroiciela podróżą życia, otwierającą oczy nie tylko na cuda południowoazjatyckiej przyrody, ale również ludzi innej kultury. Stawia też pod znakiem zapytania jego powrót do londyńskiej rzeczywistości Urzekająca od pierwszych słów, spokojnie płynąca z nurtem Saluin piękna opowieść o miłości do muzyki, zetknięciu z oszałamiającym nieznanym i przyjaźni z obcymi, z wyraźnie pobrzmiewającymi echami Conradowskiego Jądra ciemności.
