Add to basketSebastian Faulks bereikte met zijn schitterende romans in Engeland en West-Europa al een miljoenenpubliek, maar tot op heden bleef Nederland daarbij achter. Ten onrechte, zoals Faulks' nieuwste roman Engleby aantoont.Mike Engleby is met zijn uitstekende observatievermogen en vlijmscherpe meningen een typische angelsaksische romanfiguur die de lezer niet snel meer vergeet. Niet gehinderd door scrupules of zelfmedelijden werkt Engleby zich omhoog in het Engeland onder Thatcher en vindt hij zijn weg in het landschap van New Labour. Hij lijkt de typische, succesvolle, intelligente Engelsman van de moderne tijd, maar als een van zijn tijdgenoten plotseling verdwijnt, begint de lezer van dit meesterwerk zich ongemakkelijk af te vragen of Engleby wel de waarheid vertelt.Engleby is een klaagzang voor een Engelse generatie en het land dat deze ten onder liet gaan. Ook is het een meditatie over de grenzen van de wetenschap en de vloek van het menselijk geweten. Onder het verontrustende oppervlak van Engleby's haarscherpe observaties bevindt zich een indringend geheim van grote duisterheid.; Randen omslag lichte gebruikssporen, binnenwerk schoon fris en gaaf.
