Hawksmoor

Autor Peter Ackroyd
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2010
'There is no Light without Darknesse
and no Substance without Shaddowe'


So proclaims Nicholas Dyer, assistant to Sir Christopher Wren and the man with a commission to build seven London churches to stand as beacons of the enlightenment. But Dyer plans to conceal a dark secret at the heart of each church - to create a forbidding architecture that will survive for eternity. Two hundred and fifty years later, London detective Nicholas Hawksmoor is investigating a series of gruesome murders on the sites of certain eighteenth-century churches - crimes that make no sense to the modern mind . . .

Recenzii

Chillingly brilliant . . . sinister and stunningly well executed
Extraordinary, amazing, vivid, convincing. [Ackroyd's] view of life questions the role not just of the novel but of art and history, memory, time and much else
A novel remarkable for [its] power, ingenuity and subtlety
