Duma Key

Autor Stephen King
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 mar 2018
La șase luni după ce o macara îi distruge camioneta și trupul milionarului Edgar Freemantle, viața acestuia intră pe un alt făgaș. Soția îl părăsește după ce acesta a înjunghiat-o cu un cuțit de plastic într-un acces de nebunie.
Împărțindu-și averea în patru părți: una pentru fosta lui soție, câte o parte pentru fiecare din fiicele lui și una pentru el, Edgar Freemantle pleacă din Minnesota și se mută în Duma Key, o frumoasă zonă de pe coasta Floridei unde închiriază o casă. 
Pământurile de aici sunt în proprietatea lui Elizabeth Eastlake, o octogenară al cărei tragic și misterios trecut se dezvăluie încetul cu încetul. 
Când Edgar începe să picteze, talentul său formidabil pare să vină dintr-un loc străin și cele mai multe dintre tablourile lui capată o putere care nu poate fi controlată.

Descriere scurtă

Don't miss the thrilling novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King about what happens when the barrier between our world and that of the supernatural is breached... No more than a dark pencil line on a blank page. A horizon line, maybe. But also a slot for blackness to pour through... A terrible construction site accident takes Edgar Freemantle's right arm and scrambles his memory and his mind, leaving him with little but rage as he begins the ordeal of rehabilitation. A marriage that produced two lovely daughters suddenly ends, and Edgar begins to wish he hadn't survived the injuries that could have killed him. He wants out. His psychologist, Dr. Kamen, suggests a "geographic cure," a new life distant from the Twin Cities and the building business Edgar grew from scratch. And Kamen suggests something else. "Edgar, does anything make you happy?""I used to sketch.""Take it up again. You need hedges...hedges against the night." Edgar leaves Minnesota for a rented house on Duma Key, a stunningly beautiful, eerily undeveloped splinter of the Florida coast. The sun setting into the Gulf of Mexico and the tidal rattling of shells on the beach call out to him, and Edgar draws. A visit from Ilse, the daughter he dotes on, starts his movement out of solitude. He meets a kindred spirit in Wireman, a man reluctant to reveal his own wounds, and then Elizabeth Eastlake, a sick old woman whose roots are tangled deep in Duma Key. Now Edgar paints, sometimes feverishly, his exploding talent both a wonder and a weapon. Many of his paintings have a power that cannot be controlled. When Elizabeth's past unfolds and the ghosts of her childhood begin to appear, the damage of which they are capable is truly devastating. The tenacity of love, the perils of creativity, the mysteries of memory, and the nature of the supernatural--Stephen King gives us yet another novel as fascinating as it is gripping and terrifying.

Recenzii

This is one of the most haunted character pieces he's ever written. Horrific. Tragic. And absolutely beautiful -- Damon Lindelof, co-creator and writer of Lost Fresh and frightening and highly recommended -- Observer King has become such a sophisticated writer that this novel is never less than page-turning ... A first-class beach-read -- Independent on Sunday 'Another masterpiece' -- The Sun
