Description

Wie klingt Musik, wenn man sie nicht hören kann? Michael Roes erzählt in Die Laute die Geschichte von Asis, einem jemenitischen Jungen, der von Melodien erfüllt ist, nachdem er von einem Blitz getroffen wurde, und der sein Hörvermögen verliert, nachdem er einer brutalen Bestrafung unterzogen wurde. Asis erlernt die Gebärdensprache und erkämpft sich seine Position und seine Haltung als Gehörloser in der Welt der Hörenden. Es verschlägt ihn nach Polen, nach Krakau, wo er als junger Erwachsener zu studieren beginnt: Er wird Komponist. Michael Roes führt den Leser in eine Welt von gefühlten Geräuschen, imaginierten Berührungen, gesehener Sprache und gebärdeten Gefühlen. Die Laute ist ein berührendes Plädoyer für die tiefgreifende und umwälzende Kraft der Literatur und der Musik, die es ermöglicht, ein erfülltes Leben gegen alle äußeren Widerstände zu führen.
