Choral am Ende der Reise

Roman

Edición de la obra Salme ved reisens slutt

On April 10, 1912, seven musicians board the Titanic. They are a motley crew, coming from all corners of Europe to play on the maiden voyage of the world's largest passenger ship. During their final five days, their life stories gradually unfold, and we discover how music has become central to their lives, as well as how they have ended up in this second-rate band playing waltzes for the wealthy passengers. Each musician embodies one part of the mosaic that is Europe on the edge of the century. Psalm at Journey's End also paints a fascinating and vivid portrait of life on board - from the glamour of first class to the immigrants crowded together in steerage - as this supposedly unsinkable ship floats confidently toward disaster. A remarkable feat of storytelling, Psalm at Journey's End has already met with tremendous success in Europe.
