Sobre este artículo
Mass Market Paperback. Publisher: Faber & Faber | 2023 | Mass Market Paperback | 848 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2013 NOW A MAJOR BBC TV SERIES 'What brings a fellow down here, you know, to the ends of the earth - what sparks a man?' It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky. The Luminaries is an extraordinary piece of fiction, both a ghost story and a gripping mystery. Set amidst the promise, deceit and desperation of the mid-19th century goldrush, the lives of its rich, complex cast unspool through a labyrinthine, celestial pattern. Fiendishly clever and vividly rendered, The Luminaries establishes Catton as one of the brightest stars in the firmament. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
