The darkly compelling confession of an improbable murderer, shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize.
Deze boeiende trilogie duikt in de complexiteit van menselijke perceptie, geheugen en de ongrijpbare aard van de waarheid. Door middel van onbetrouwbare vertellers weeft elk deel meesterlijk een verward web van relaties en mysteries. Lezers zullen geboeid zijn door de spanning en de verfijnde verkenning van hoe kunst en bewijs ons begrip van de werkelijkheid vormen.



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.
