The darkly compelling confession of an improbable murderer, shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize.
Questa avvincente trilogia si addentra nelle complessità della percezione umana, della memoria e della natura sfuggente della verità. Attraverso narratori inattendibili, ogni capitolo intreccia magistralmente una complessa rete di relazioni e misteri. I lettori saranno rapiti dalla suspense e dall'esplorazione sofisticata di come l'arte e le prove plasmano la nostra comprensione della realtà.



The darkly compelling confession of an improbable murderer, shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize.
Opens with a shipwreck, leaving a party of sightseers temporarily marooned on an island. The stranded castaways make their way towards the refuge of the isle's reclusive savant; but the big isolated house which is home to Professor Silas Kreutznaer and his laconic assistant, Licht, is also home to another, unnamed presence.
From the internationally acclaimed author of The Book of Evidence and Ghosts comes a mesmerizing novel that is both a literary thriller and a love story as sumptuously perverse as Lolita. "A strange and dreamlike book . . . Banville has a breathtaking style."--Boston Globe. From the Trade Paperback edition.
