Synopsis "The Secret History "

The dark academia bestseller that defined an age

Truly deserving of the accolade Modern Classic, Donna Tartt's cult bestseller The Secret History is a remarkable achievement - incredibly compelling, dramatic and playful.

Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and for ever, and they discover how hard it can be to truly live and how easy it is to kill.
"It takes my breath away". (Ruth Rendell).

"Enthralling ...image the plot of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment crossed with the story of Euripides' "Bacchae" set against the backdrop of Bret Easton Ellis' "The Rules of Attraction"...forceful, cerebral and impeccably controlled...ferociously well-paced...remarkably powerful". ("The New York Times").

Donna Tartt was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, and educated at the University of Mississippi and Bennington College. She is a novelist, essayist, and critic and author of "The Little Friend". "The Secret History" has been translated into twenty-four languages.

Tengo la duda de si es original o no, las páginas son muy blancas como un papel cualquiera, realmente solo había visto ese tipo de hoja en libros piratas así que me queda la duda

Venía muuuuy ligeramente maltratado, de una esquina, pero en si la condición general excelente. El libro maravilloso, amé cada página. Encontrarlo en esta edición a este precio fue una maravilla. Totalmente satisfecha tanto con el libro como con el servicio de BuscaLibre. Tardo en llegar pero en cuanto lo comente hicieron lo posible para que llegara rápido
