Περιγραφή για Palace of the Peacock (Faber Editions): 'Magnificent' - Tsitsi Dangarembga Wilson Harris Faber & Faber

The visionary masterpiece, tracing a riverboat crew\'s dreamlike jungle voyage ...\'My new all time favourite book ... A magnificent, breathtaking and terrifying novel.\' Tsitsi Dangarembga\'An exhilarating experience ... Makes visions real and reality visions ...

Such poetic intensity.\' Angela CarterI dreamt I awoke with one dead seeing eye and one living closed eye ...A crew of men are embarking on a voyage up a turbulent river through the rainforests of Guyana. Their domineering leader, Donne, is the spirit of a conquistador, obsessed with hunting for a mysterious woman and exploiting indigenous people as plantation labour. But their expedition is plagued by tragedies, haunted by drowned ghosts: spectres of the crew themselves, inhabiting a blurred shadowland between life and death. As their journey into the interior - their own hearts of darkness - deepens, it assumes a spiritual dimension, guiding them towards a new destination: the Palace of the Peacock ... A modernist fever dream; prose poem; modern myth; elegy to victims of colonial conquest: Wilson Harris\' masterpiece has defied definition for over sixty years, and is reissued for a new generation of readers.\'One of the great originals ... Visionary ... Dazzlingly illuminating.\' Guardian\'Amazing ... Masterly ... Near-miraculous.\' Observer\'Staggering ... Both brilliant and terrifying.\' The Times\'The most inimitable [writer] produced in the English-speaking Caribbean.\' Fred D\'Aguiar\'Extraordinary ... Courageous and visionary ... It speaks to us in tongues.\' Pauline Melville Σελίδες: 160, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
