Descrição do livro
Book Ten of The Oxygenless World. In a Bavaria gone grey-white and thin-breathed, Werner König wakes at four to find his hands stealing the steadiness from him. For years he has kept forty kilos of sodium chlorate behind a locked cabinet in a basement beneath Freising — a hoard bought in three smuggled loads, a secret wrapped around the failure he never forgave: Anna, the oxygen candle he did not light in time. Now the forty-seven-page guide has reached his hands in cramped Russian, and a seventeen-year-old from Munich has arrived with a steadier grip. Together, old tremor and young callus, they build the first clean candle, then the sixth, then sixteen, and Greta's blue lips turn pink. But the committee wants the formula locked, and the merchant wants it sold, and Werner learns the fourth verb Ivan Petrov never wrote but lived: receive, understand, improve, transmit. Twelve copies. Twelve matchboxes. Three cyclists under the milk-coloured sky. And an empty cabinet left unlocked, because the powder is only a symbol — and the breath it frees is the only thing a man was ever owed.
