Críticas
Remarkable. . . If all crime novels were like this one, there would no longer be the need for a genre. -- Ruth Rendell One of the most important writers now at work in English - a key thinker, in fact, in fiction. * London Review of Books * The Book of Evidence is a major work of fiction in which every suave moment calmly detonates to show the murderous gleam within. Banville writes a dangerous and clear-running prose and has a grim gift of seeing people's souls. -- Don DeLillo Banville has excelled himself in a flawlessly flowing prose whose lyricism, patrician irony and aching sense of loss are reminiscent of Lolita. * Observer *
Reseña del editor
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, The Book of Evidence by John Banville is a gripping portrait of a cold, deceptive killer; an unreliable narrator with a dark story to tell. Freddie Montgomery has committed two crimes. He stole a small Dutch master from a wealthy family friend, and he murdered a chambermaid who caught him in the act. He has little to say about the dead girl. He killed her, he says, because he was physically capable of doing so. It made perfect sense to smash her head in with a hammer. What he cannot understand, and would desperately like to know, is why he was so moved by an unattributed portrait of a middle-aged woman that he felt compelled to steal it . . .

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Inspired by the crimes of Malcolm Macarthur in Ireland, 1982, The Book of Evidence by John Banville is a gripping portrait of a cold, deceptive and utterly unprecedented killer. 'Banville writes a dangerous and clear-running prose and has a grim gift of seeing people's souls' Don DeLillo, author of White Noise and Libra Freddie Montgomery has committed two crimes. He stole a small Dutch master an unattributed painting of a middle-aged woman from a wealthy family friend. And he murdered a chambermaid who caught him in the act, bludgeoning her to death with a hammer. An eccentric narcissist, he has little to say about the woman he killed. He travels through life without any apparent remorse. He killed her, he says, because he was physically capable of it. It made sense to him. However, as he narrates his testimony, there is one thing he cannot understand. One thing he would desperately like to know. Why did he want to steal the painting? Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 'Remarkable' Ruth Rendell, author of the Inspector Wexford novels The Book of Evidence is the first in John Banville's acclaimed Frames Trilogy. It is followed by Ghosts and Athena. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
