Love is Blind de William Boyd

Love is Blind

Autor William Boyd
en Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 19 sep 2018
Penguin presents the audiobook edition ofLove is BlindbyWilliam Boyd.
Love is Blindis William Boyd's sweeping, heart-stopping new novel - set at the end of the 19th century, it follows the fortunes of Brodie Moncur, a young Scottish musician, about to embark on the story of his life.
When Brodie is offered a job in Paris, he seizes the chance to flee Edinburgh and his tyrannical clergyman father, and begin a wildly different new chapter in his life. In Paris, a fateful encounter with a famous pianist irrevocably changes his future - and sparks an obsessive love affair with a beautiful Russian soprano, Lika Blum. Moving from Paris to St Petersburg to Edinburgh and back again, Brodie's love for Lika and its dangerous consequences pursue him around Europe and beyond, during an era of overwhelming change as the 19th century becomes the 20th.
Love is Blindis a tale of dizzying passion and brutal revenge; of artistic endeavour and the illusions it creates; of all the possibilities that life can offer, and how cruelly they can be snatched away. At once an intimate portrait of one man's life and an expansive exploration of the beginning of the 20th century,Love is Blindis a masterly new novel from one of Britain's best loved storytellers.

Recenzii

Boyd on form isthe ultimate in immersive fiction,andLove is Blindis Boydat the top of his game. . . magnificent
Boyd is back on a form few of his contemporaries can match. Thisfine, touching and cleverbook is the best thing he's written since [Any Human Heart] and deserves similar adulation
The book begins and continues at acracking pace- or perhaps a cinematic stride - with scenes, scenarios, set-pieces and minor characters aplenty, all of which and all of whom might easily detain another writer for an entire book . . .He makes it look easy: he's a pro
Boyd's talents as arollicking storytelling[are] full on display in thishistorical blockbuster
A deft and resonant alchemy of fact and fiction, of literary myth and imagination
He has probably written more classic books than any of his contemporaries
Boyd is a brilliant novelist
William Boyd is arguably one of Britain's finest living writers
