Puppet. Fauls J.

In the heritage of the modern classic John Faulza - perhaps the greatest British writer of the 20th century - the novel “Doll” occupies a special place, which is essentially his creative will. In his last large work, the author of the world -famous bestseller “Collector”, “Magi”, “The mistress of the French lieutenant”, “Daniel Martin” and “Tower of black wood” invested all the accumulated intellectual and spiritual luggage, all the skills of decades.

The novel is published in a new translation. Moreover, he first comes out in Russian completely: fragments of the chronic section of the London Monhmen of the Gentlemenz Meges, which are not only folded into the picturesque panorama of the era, but also contain the key to the possible unraveling of what is happening.

< P> And what is happening in the novel is mysteriously utterly. Who was Mr. Bartholomew and what purpose he pursued in the May Day of 1736 in a dumb corner of Western England? Where did he go, and who were his companions really? The landscapes of old England, a detective plot with elements of mysticism, cunning intrigues and mysterious incidents serve as a Faulsa with a magnificent background for a deep psychological study, in which he reveals the topics that are so characteristic of his work: the relativity of knowledge and truth, the boundaries of human freedom, the historical roots of modern civilization.
