The Song Before It Is Sung
Autor Justin Cartwrighten Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2008
On 20 July 1944, Adolf Hitler narrowly escaped an assassin's bomb. Axel von Gottberg and his conspirators were hunted down and hanged from meat-hooks, and the executions filmed. Sixty years later, Conrad Senior is left a legacy of papers by von Gottberg's close friend, the legendary Oxford professor Elya Mendel, and becomes obsessed with what they reveal and finding the brutal film. Award-winning writer Justin Cartwright has conjured a masterwork that addresses the nature of friendship and what it means to be human, and it is a remarkable tapestry of passion, ideas, frailty and courage.

Caracteristici
'An outstanding, atmospheric book that will initially surprise and preoccupy the imagination, before settling down to haunt it ... Cartwright makes the reader pause, gasp and wonder. This is what great fiction should do, and it certainly does here' Eileen Battersby, Irish Times

'A richly detailed evocation of one of the darkest periods in modern history, and an eloquent exploration of human fallibility and guilt'
