The Blanket of the Dark de John Buchan

The Blanket of the Dark

Autor John Buchan
en Limba Engleză Hardback – mai 2012
The Blanket of the Dark is a compelling story. A young clerk, Peter Pentecost, find that he is a descendent of Henry of Buckingham and has a claim to the throne. Buchan spins a beautifully woven tale of intrigue around the king, where 'under the blanket of the dark all men are alike and all are nameless'. Henry VIII is portrayed as an ogre, his description of the monarch is vivid and persuasive. Buchan takes us into the world in which the people of the early sixteenth-century England lived, under perhaps the most repellant figure to sit on the English throne.

Notă biografică

John Buchan (1875 - 1940) was a Scottish novelist, historian and Unionist politician who served as Governor General of Canada, the 15th since Canadian Confederation. After a brief legal career, Buchan simultaneously began his writing career and his political and diplomatic careers, serving as a private secretary to the colonial administrator of various colonies in southern Africa. He eventually wrote propaganda for the British war effort in the First World War. Buchan was in 1927 elected Member of Parliament for the Combined Scottish Universities, but he spent most of his time on his writing career, notably writing The Thirty-Nine Steps and other adventure fiction.
