Sobre este artículo
NY: Random House, 1991. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. From the book, ""'Harlot's Ghost' is a book about spies and intelligence officers--men and women for whom deceit and the invention of alternate selves become an honorable calling, a way of life, a kind of religion. But 'Harlot's Ghost' is not a spy novel in which the forces of light struggle with those of darkness. The enemy here is not the alien and destructive will of a distant power, but the soul-consuming cold war itself. 'Harlot's Ghost' is the story of a crusade, one in which the distinction between truth and falsehood is as elusive as the line between fiction and fact."" Hard cover in very good condition. Text block clean and tight. No markings noted. Large book: just hair over 9 1/2"" tall x 6 1/2"" wide x 2 1/2 thick. Dust jacket in very good condition, showing very light age toning at edges. DJ contains no price; copyright page indicates it is a reprint. 1,310 numbered pages. International shipping will be additional due to size & weight.
Sinopsis
With unprecedented scope and consummate skill, Norman Mailer unfolds a rich and riveting epic of an American spy. Harry Hubbard is the son and godson of CIA legends. His journey to learn the secrets of his society—and his own past—takes him through the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the “momentous catastrophe” of the Kennedy assassination. All the while, Hubbard is haunted by women who were loved by both his godfather and President Kennedy. Featuring a tapestry of unforgettable characters both real and imagined, Harlot’s Ghost is a panoramic achievement in the tradition of Tolstoy, Melville, and Balzac, a triumph of Mailer’s literary prowess.
