Sobre este artículo
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1998. First Edition, First Printing. . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The sixth novel from National Book Award-winner Stone, often described as the contemporary novelist most capable of combining intellectual depth with superb narrative skills, features expatriate American journalist Christopher Lucas stumbling upon a terrorist plot to bomb the Temple Mount in Jerusalem; lower corner of back cover slightly bumped, o/w boards and text are clean, tight, square; dustjacket shows only minor surface and edgewear.
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.
