Maggiori informazioni sul libro
For years, the public has been waiting for a novel by A.J. Cronin: Here is the story of Desmonde Fitzgerald, the handsome young man, the man of God, the singer, the person drawn into an unfathomable erotic abyss, the adventurer, the innocent, the actor… Over a period spanning from the early century to the present day, and in a variety of settings including Dublin during the years around the First World War, Hollywood in the Golden Age of film, and a fabulous, mysteriously lustful Orient, the parallel story of two lives unfolds, aiming to generate meaningful universal tensions and existential questions. Over these lives hovers the dark and mysteriously fascinating shadow of a great female figure: Claire, frivolous, irresistible, intoxicated, overwhelmed by an insatiable desire for ruin: an absolutely unforgettable female character… "But the sky does not respond" is a great question and a significant novelistic success.
