An essential read for all fans of Kurt Wallander- The Pyramid brings us the early years of Kurt Wallander
Henning Mankell (1948-2015) became a worldwide phenomenon with his
crime writing, gripping thrillers and atmospheric novels set in
Africa. His prizewinning and critically acclaimed Inspector
Wallander Mysteries continue to dominate bestseller lists all over
the globe and his books have been translated into forty-five
languages and made into numerous international film and television
adaptations- most recently the BAFTA-award-winning BBC television
series Wallander, starring Kenneth Branagh.
Driven by a desire to change the world and to fight against racism
and nationalism, Mankell devoted much of his time to working with
charities in Africa, including SOS Children's Villages and PLAN
International, where he was also director of the Teatro Avenida in
Maputo. In 2008, the University of St Andrews conferred Henning
Mankell with an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters in recognition
of his major contribution to literature and to the practical
exercise of conscience.
