Secret History

«Donna Tartt is an amazingly good writer. She's dense, she's allusive. She's a gorgeous storyteller»

Stephen King

THE BESTSELLER THAT DEFINED AN AGE

'Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and say oh! oh! oh!'

THE BESTSELLER THAT DEFINED AN AGE

'Everything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and say oh! oh! oh!'

Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality.

Medlemmers vurdering

E
Evey – 28.02.2006

– Boka handler om en gruppe "utskudd" av noen greskstudenter på et college i Vermont. Som den nye studenten i gruppa på seks er Richard Papen facinert av både den eksentriske læreren og sine medstudenter. Det viser seg etterhvert at flere av studentene bærer på mørke hemmeligheter og man forstår tidlig at noe stort er i emning. Denne boka overveldet meg fullstendig med sitt fengende språk og spennende historie. Donna Tartt skriver på en slik måte at man nesten føler at man kjenner hovedpersonene, og faktisk bipersonene også. Boka slutter aldri å overraske da det er nye hemmeligheter og avsløringer rundt hvert eneste hjørne.
Dette er en av de absolutt beste bøkene jeg har lest, og den anbefales på det varmeste! Boka bør leses på engelsk, da mye kan gå tapt i en oversettelse.
