Mysteries
ISBN: 9780141186184 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Nagel is a complete outsider, a sort of modern Christ treated in a spirit of near parody. He condemns the politics and thought of the age, brings comfort to the insulted and injured and gains the love of two women suggestive of the biblical Mary and Martha. But there is a sinister side of him: in his vest he carries a vial of Prussic acid. The novel creates a powerful sense of Nagel's stream of thought, as he increasingly...
