Sobre este artículo
Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1998. First Edition, SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. 8vo, publisher’s original black cloth lettered in gilt, in the decorated dustjacket. 500 pp. A very fine copy, in perfect order and as pristine. FIRST EDITION SIGNED BY ROBERT STONE. “Throughout his distinguished career, Robert Stone has created unforgettable characters who face ultimate questions: What is the price of loyalty, of betrayal, of faith? In Damascus Gate he draws on actual incidents in recent Middle East headlines, on historical and biblical figures, and on a rich knowledge of mystical writings to pose these questions for the millennium. Ambitious, passionate, darkly comic, it is a timely and brilliant story of belief, power, salvation, and apocalypse.” - publisher
Sinopsis
With soaring vision and profound intelligence, Robert Stone has written a harrowing, breathtaking novel about our desperate search, at any price, for the consolation of redemption - and about the people who are all too willing to provide it. A violent confrontation in the Gaza Strip, a mind-altering pilgrimage, a race through riot-filled Jerusalem streets, a cat-and-mouse game in an underground maze, a desperate attempt to prevent a bomb from detonating beneath the Temple Mount - Damascus Gate is an exhilarating journey through the moral and religious ambiguities that haunt the holiest of cities and its seekers, cynics, hustlers, and madmen. Set in Jerusalem, where violence, ecstasy, heresy, and salvation are all to be found, Damascus Gate is simultaneously the story of a man's search for truth - or some version of it - and the story of a city where sanity is casually traded for faith.
