The Book of Illusions - Paul Auster
Autor : Paul Auster, Popis : One man's obsession with the mysterious life of a silent film star takes him on a journey into a shadow-world of lies, illusions, and unexpected love. Then, watching television one night, he stumbles upon a lost film by silent comedian Hector Mann, and remembers how to laugh... After losing his wife and young sons in a plane crash, Vermont professor David Zimmer spends his waking hours mired in grief.
But one morning in 1929 he walked out of his house and was never heard from again. Mann was a comic genius, in trademark white suit and fluttering black moustache. Zimmer's obsession with Mann drives him to publish a study of his work; whereupon he receives a letter postmarked New Mexico, supposedly written by Mann's wife, and inviting him to visit the great Mann himself.
Can Hector Mann be alive? Zimmer cannot decide - until a strange woman appears on his doorstep and makes the decision for him, changing his life forever. Written with breath-taking urgency and precision, this stunning novel plunges the reader into a universe in which the comic and the tragic, the real and the imagined, the violent and the tender dissolve into one another.Druh sortimentu : Kniha, Název : The Book of Illusions, Jazyk : Angličtina, Počet strán : 322
