Asasinul orb

by Margaret Atwood

Overview

Dupa cincizeci de ani, Iris Chase isi aminteste imprejurarile misterioasei disparitii a Laurei. Vietile celor doua surori isi impletesc firele, iar episoadele erotice se intretaie cu destinul unui asasin orb, pus sa ucida o fecioara de care pana la urma se indragosteste, dar si cu apasate aluzii mitologice, de care Eneida lui Vergiliu nu este straina. Intreaga istorie a romanului nu paraseste insa fundalul secolului XX, pe care Margaret Atwood il acopera de umbrele trecutului, de fiorul fanteziei ce pandeste viata, cu iubirile si tradarile ei. Romanul Asasinul orb a primit Man Booker Prize in 2000. Revista Time l-a declarat cel mai bun roman al anului 2000 si l-a inclus in lista celor mai bune 100 de romane scrise in limba engleza din 1923 pana in prezent.
