I am awed by the phenomenon of Scandinavian crime literature, which is not I have frequent contact, but you usually reach for pleasure. Countries with low rates of crime are also place where the detective says, and seems almost en masse. Norwegians have Karin Fossum, Yrsę Sigurðardóttir Icelanders, Swedes Henning Mankel, Stieg Larsson and promoted by the publisher Thomas Black Kangera. Does the reader's awareness of the Polish Scandinavian crime will go down even more - this time Finnish - the name, and Finland, since this type of literature can be proud of (and I mean Leen Lehtolainen)? I think so. Matti Ronk is the author of three crime novels, a Polish readers have a chance to meet the translation published before nine years ago, the story of the intriguing title "Man the face of a murderer. " Fig feature only sketch, for Ronk kalkami operates in both the narrative and compositional wykorzystanymi before him by many authors. He, the mysterious and stand-off from the world around him. Male, sometimes cynical, in fact, masking her vulnerability. She is here in two versions - as a phantasm in the form of lost Sirje, which instructs the hero to find her husband, and as a woman of flesh and blood, so close, and understands, secure and trustworthy, of course the object of his sighs. This time it's a student of Marja, but it's not about women read this, about him, the title man, fearless and intelligent detective who learns the secrets of getting more confused matters related to the disappearance Sirje.
Matti Ronk creates a heroic character without roots, without a homeland, torn internally and lost. At the same time watchful observer of how to cope with life by Russian immigrants in Finland and the Finnish repatriates in Russia. The protagonist of this book, Victor is a man who feels the one hand, a strong relationship with Finland, on the other hand, however, the proximity of Russian Karelia, where he lives his mother, which involves strong emotional ties son. Gornostaeva or Kärppä? Fin or Russian? After Viktor carries a traumatic past, from the eastern border, while feeling a strong emotional bond with Finland, and especially its capital, after which the narrative of the book leads us from topographic accuracy. Issues of identity of the main character in the lace also impinge on the incident, in which Viktor participates in an attempt to examine who and why he could abduct Sirje. A criminal record, her brother is just the tip of iceberg, because all around Victor, still lawirującego the edge of the law, will affect different people not only to its decisions, but also highlighting the difficulty in determining the boundary separating the events in this story.
boundary is crossed several times in the literal sense. The action takes place in Finland, Russia (with a living memory of how the Soviet Union), Estonia. Symbolic boundaries of their knowledge not only exceeds Viktor. His actions go hand in hand with the reporter actually, and I think a credible manifestation in the relations between the Finns and visitors from the Russian Karelia. What, therefore, deserves attention in the case of "Man with the face of a murderer?" Not the same detective story, sometimes a little without the spark of fiction and original solutions. First of all, a psychological feature of the main character, his struggle with himself and the hardships posed by Russia to reconcile his past with the present Finnish, which is after all a place of love, and thus for positive change.
Matti Ronk is a specific quality. I have the impression that the form of a novel Crime is for the author only way of masking some personal accounts with each other, the dramatic story of the Finnish-Russian border and is also the voice of all those who are forever stuck at the border, despite a clearly defined nationality in their passports. to reflect not only the supporters of crime fiction, but especially those for whom the limit is a very ambiguous.
