Mark Gatiss

    17 ottobre 1966

    Mark Gatiss è un acclamato autore britannico la cui scrittura si addentra negli entusiasmanti regni della narrativa speculativa e dei racconti gotici. Con un acuto ingegno e una profonda comprensione delle convenzioni di genere, Gatiss crea narrazioni che sono sia intellettualmente stimolanti che genuinamente avvincenti. Collega magistralmente i mondi della televisione, contribuendo a serie amate, e della scrittura di romanzi, dove i suoi personaggi spesso affrontano oscuri misteri e intriganti storie. La sua voce distintiva e il suo stile coinvolgente lo rendono una presenza notevole nella narrazione britannica contemporanea.

      Siamo nella Londra edoardiana, all'inizio del Novecento. Lucifer Box alla luce del sole è un affascinante pittore e un elegante viveur, ma quando calano le tenebre diventa un agente segreto al servizio di Sua Maestà. La Corona gli chiede di indagare sui Cambridge Four: due dei vulcanologi che componevano questo brillante gruppo di ricerca sono misteriosamente morti a pochi giorni di distanza l'uno dall'altro. Sulle tracce dell'ultimo superstite, Lucifer si trasferisce da Downing Street a Napoli, dove tra colpi di scena, inseguimenti nelle fogne, attentati il dandy risale a un misterioso traffico di droghe allucinogene e al club Vesuvio.

    • A good love letter can speak across centuries, and reassure us that the agony and the ecstasy one might feel today have been shared by lovers long gone. In The Love That Dares, queer love speaks its name through a wonderful selection of surviving letters between lovers and friends, confidants and companions. Alongside the more famous names coexist beautifully written letters by lesser-known lovers. Together, they weave a narrative of queer love through the centuries, through the romantic, often funny, and always poignant words of those who lived it
