The Ocean at the End of the Lane: Romane Neil Gaiman
Autor Neil Gaimanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 iun 2013
Sussex, Anglia. Un bărbat de vârstă mijlocie se întoarce în locul unde a copilărit pentru a participa la o înmormântare, dar și la o fermă de la marginea unui drum unde a întâlnit-o de mult pe Lettie Hempstock, o fată mai mult decât remarcabilă.
Nu s-a mai gândit la ea de mult timp, dar trecutul începe să îl învăluie. Patruzeci de ani mai târziu, un bărbat se sinucide într-o mașină furată la ferma de la marginea drumului.
Un foc se reaprinde, iar această moarte va influența în moduri dincolo de imaginație. Însă întunericul se dezlănțuie și ceva înfricoșător este gata să îl bântuie pe micul băiat devenit acum bărbat în toată firea.
Dar Lettie promite să îl protejeze. Cu orice preț.

A major new work from "a writer to make readers rejoice" (Minneapolis Star Tribune)— a moving story of memory, magic, and survival
Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and yet as he sits by the pond (a pond that she'd claimed was an ocean) behind the ramshackle old farmhouse, the unremembered past comes flooding back. And it is a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie—magical, comforting, wise beyond her years—promised to protect him, no matter what.
A groundbreaking work from a master, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out. It is a stirring, terrifying, and elegiac fable as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark.
