Magdalena PARYS<\/strong>\u00a0is a poet, writer and translator born in Gdansk in 1971. Since the age of 12, she has lived in Berlin where she studied. Once she had completed her degree in Polish Philology and Pedagogy, she founded the Polish-German literary magazine\u00a0Squaws<\/em>. She worked as a researcher and teacher in higher education before becoming a writer herself. This time she donned her journalist’s cap, working with\u00a0Gazeta Wyborcza<\/em>,\u00a0Dialog<\/em>,\u00a0Pogranicza<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Zwierciad\u0142o<\/em>.<\/td>\n\u00a0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Her first novel,\u00a0Tunel (<\/em>The Tunnel) received the 'Golden Owl’ prize in Austria and was nominated for the Paszport Polityki and Angelus prizes.
Germany. The year 2000. Klaus disappears in mysterious conditions. 20 years earlier, Klaus had overseen the construction of a tunnel. This is the very tunnel through which, in 1981, Franz had left East Berlin to reach the West. Could there be a link between the two facts? Could there be a link with the disappearance of Victoria? Does it have anything to do with Magda, A Polish woman who has fallen in love with Franz? Three generations of heroes find themselves at the heart of a story in which personal stories and history writ large collide.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\"\"<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n

Her second novel,\u00a0Magik<\/em>\u00a0(The Magician) is the first tome in a Berlin trilogy and was published in November 2014.
\u2018Magik\u2019 was the name given by East German security services to the action they took at the Bulgarian border in the 1970\u2019s with a view to eliminating opponents to the communist regime. The main character in the book is called Christian Schlangenberger and he is a German politician who has based his life on lies and blackmail. With a promising career in prospect, only one thing is on his mind: what if someone finds out about his involvement in operation Magik? One day, a mysterious package is sent to him. It\u2019s a photograph of him, at the border with Bulgaria, next to the lifeless body of a young, 18 year old man\u2026 but who is trying to take revenge?<\/p>\n<\/td>\n
