Fool on the Hill: Roman

Condición: Fair. Wasserschaden / Verschmutzung; Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrucken; Farbveranderung durch Alter/Sonne. A genuinely new fictional voice is a rare literary event, and when that voice emerges not from formal skill but from a fresh vision, it deserves celebration. At just twenty-two, Matt Ruff captivated readers with his debut, a remarkable epic that explores life and death, good and evil, magic and love. This novel evokes the imaginative daring of Mark Helprin, the zany popism of Tom Robbins, and the whimsical fantasies of J.R. Tolkien. In its world, talking dogs and cats coexist with a hidden subculture of sprites, while the Bohemians--students devoted to unconventionality--celebrate their cause through all-night revels. The story centers on Stephen Titus George, a mild-mannered kite flyer and aspiring writer who becomes embroiled in a century-old tale. As he seeks a maiden, George's journey intertwines with a mythical dragon that symbolizes the challenges of love. Ultimately, it is not a sword that defeats the foe but the transformative power of imagination that sanctifies their bond. This novel stands out as one of the most extraordinary first works in years, inviting readers into a vibrant and enchanting narrative. Nº de ref. del artículo: 75403138-4b82-4878-b0fa-78633e2a278b
