Produktbeschreibung
In a nation ravaged by a brutal civil war and now ruled by a regime determined to erase all memory of the past, a young, idealistic archivist named Elias undertakes a sacred, clandestine mission. Haunted by the official slogan, "The Future is Our Only History," he operates not from a library, but from a hidden cave, preserving the one thing refugees are forced to surrender as they flee: their true names. In a large, weathered ledger, he meticulously records not just their names, but a single, defining memory that gives each entry a soul-a final testament to a people being systematically turned into ghosts. But a book of names is a powerful weapon in a world built on forgetting. Elias's work becomes a quiet act of rebellion, attracting the attention of the brilliant, ruthless, and tragically complex Captain Ishmael. A victim of the very history he is trying to obliterate, Ishmael sees the ledger not as a record of humanity, but as a list of enemies, a source of the "disease" of memory that he has sworn to surgically remove from the nation's soul. What follows is a gripping and profound cat-and-mouse game, a relentless hunt through a war-torn landscape of breathtaking beauty and unspeakable trauma. As Ishmael's obsession to find and burn the ledger grows, Elias is transformed from a quiet scholar into a courageous guardian, forced to confront the immense weight of his responsibility and the true cost of remembering. The Ledger of Lost Names is a haunting and lyrical novel that explores the deepest questions of our time: What does it mean to be human without a history? Is a name just a word, or is it the vessel of a soul? In a world of lies, is the act of remembering the ultimate form of resistance? This is a story of the enduring power of memory, the fierce courage of ordinary people, and the tragic, inevitable clash between a man who would save the past and one who would burn it to be free.
