Anotace
On a small island off the south coast of France, Robert Hendricks,
an English doctor who has seen the best and the worst the twentieth
century had to offer, is forced to confront the events that made up
his life. His host, and antagonist, is Alexander Pereira, a man
whose time is running out, but who seems to know more about his
guest than Hendricks himself does. The search for sanity takes us
through the war in Italy in 1944, a passionate love that seems to
hold out hope, the great days of idealistic work in the 1960s and
finally – unforgettably – back into the trenches of the Western
Front. The recurring themes of Sebastian Faulks’s fiction are
brought together with a new stylistic brilliance as the novel casts
a long, baleful light over the century we have left behind but may
never fully understand. Daring, ambitious and in the end profoundly
moving, this is Faulks’s most remarkable book yet.
