Descripción Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. Book is tight and Pristine.Dj is unclipped with minor shelf wear. Synopsis: Anthony Burgess listed Davies' The Rebel Angels among the 99 best novels of our time and declared that Davies himself is "without doubt Nobel Prize material". In this unusual novel, Davies' protagonist is murdered in the first sentence of the book, but he lingers as a ghost to view the exploits of his ancestors, from the American Revolution to the present. Review: Will be recognized with the very best works of this century ( New York Times Books Review) Vintage Davies, employing a subtle feeling for family relationships and a genuine understanding of money and power while indulging in effortless intellectual acrobatics ( Sunday Telegraph) Davies' devotees will recognize at once the master's sharp ear for proverbial wisdoms, his relish for fantastical and dark linguistic corners, his magpie accumulations of odd bits of lore and historical tidbits ( Observer) An extraordinary tapestry of a book - richly layered, embroidered with detail and stitched together with skill and style ( Time Out). Nº de ref. del artículo: 003514
