Profundidades
En octubre de 1914, pocos meses después del estallido de la Primera Guerra Mundial, el oficial de la Marina sueca Lars Tobiasson-Svartman recibe la orden de embarcar en el acorazado Svea para cumplir una misión secreta relacionada con las rutas marítimas. Hidrógrafo experto en medir las profundidades marinas, Lars es un hombre reservado y silencioso acostumbrado a guardar las distancias con los demás, incluso con su delicada mujer, Kristina, a quien ha dejado en Estocolmo. Siempre ha soñado con encontrar un lugar donde la plomada con que realiza sus mediciones no toque fondo, y sospecha que en ese viaje tal vez se cumpla su sueño.

Henning Mankell was born in Stockholm, Sweden, the son of a judge. He grew up in the towns of Sveg and Borås. His grandfather, also called Henning Mankell (1868–1930), was a well-known composer. At the age of 20, Mankell was the assistant director at the Riks Theater in Stockholm, and he was also writing. In the 1970s he moved to Norway, where he lived with a woman who was a member of the Maoist Communist Labour Party, although he never officially joined the Party. He moved to Africa and lived in several African countries, and in 1985 he founded the Avenida Theater in Maputo, Mozambique, where he continues to spend about half of every year.
