Produktbeschreibung
When the dam cracked, it wasn't the concrete that failed-it was everything we thought we could contain. The King of Dams is a haunting story about human ambition and the forces that shape, erode, and reclaim it. Beneath storm light and silence, a monumental structure becomes a mirror for the people who built it and the world it was meant to hold back. Susan Trott's prose moves like water under pressure-spare, luminous, and inexorable-as she explores the thin architecture between control and surrender, civilization and collapse. At once lyrical and mythic, this short novel asks what remains when power meets consequence, and whether redemption can survive the roar beneath the still water.
