Présentation de l'éditeur
A brilliantly funny spy novel from the author of the ground-breaking A Clockwork Orange. Denis Hillier is an aging British agent based in Yugoslavia. His old school friend Roper has defected to the U.S.S.R. to become one of the evil empire's great scientific minds. Hillier must bring Roper back to England or risk losing his fat retirement bonus. As thoughtful as it is funny, this morality tale of a Secret Service gone mad features sex, gluttony, violence, treachery, and religion. Anthony Burgess's cast of astonishing characters includes Roper's German prostitute wife; Miss Devi and her Tamil love treatise; and the large Mr. Theodorescu, international secret monger and lascivious gourmand. A rare combination of the deadly serious and the absurd, the lofty and the lusty, Tremor of Intent will hold you in its thrall.

Tremor Of Intent
Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : Used. In the vibrant tapestry of literary oddities, "Tremor of Intent" emerges as a curious stitch woven by the notorious Anthony Burgess in the peculiar year of 1984. This is not merely a book; it is a bemusing expedition through the mind of a writer who, much like the characters he conjures, seemed to teeter on the precipice of sanity. Imagine a cocktail party where Orwell?s Big Brother and a particularly eccentric Shakespearean character exchange quips while sipping on something decidedly strong and questionable. Welcome to the chaotic world of Burgess. Picture this: a secret agent whose mission is tangled in the cobwebs of Cold War paranoia and a healthy dash of existential dread. You might expect a gripping narrative laced with twists and turns, yet Burgess is more interested in crafting a labyrinthine exploration of intent?hence the title. It begs the question: is our protagonist merely a pawn in a grand game orchestrated by unseen forces, or is he the master of his own chaotic destiny? Spoiler alert: the answer is likely to be as elusive as the book?s cover, which, if we?re honest, has seen better days. As you meander through the pages, prepare yourself for some quintessential Burgess quirks: linguistic gymnastics that would make a contortionist jealous, and dialogue that dances between the profound and the absurd. If you?ve ever yearned for a literary experience that feels like a trip through a funhouse mirror, where everything is slightly distorted yet oddly familiar, then you?re in for a treat?or perhaps a trick. The year 1984 may evoke thoughts of dystopian landscapes, but Burgess flips the script, offering a narrative that oscillates between the ridiculous and the sublime. It?s not just a book; it?s a veritable buffet of existential musings served on a platter of dark humour. You may find yourself asking whether Burgess is critiquing the very essence of agency or simply inviting you to chuckle at the absurdity of it all. The reader is left with a curious amalgamation of thoughts, like trying to solve a Rubik?s cube after a few too many pints. Prepare for a literary experience that is as delightful as it is disconcerting, with a cocktail of British wit shaken and stirred into an enticingly perplexing concoction. For those who appreciate the charms of vintage literature, the cover may whisper tales of its journey through time. Flipping through the pages, you might find the musings of a previous reader scrawled in the margins, a treasure hunt of thoughts that adds to the book?s personality. One can only wonder how many times this book has been left on a café table to be picked up and pondered over by unsuspecting patrons. Perhaps it has witnessed its fair share of ?eureka? moments, or, more likely, discussions that veered into the absurd. Condition: Used. This copy of "Tremor of Intent" is a testament to its storied past, complete with dog-eared pages and the occasional coffee stain that serves as a reminder of its previous owner?s caffeine-fueled literary escapades. While it may not pass for pristine, it has character?much like a well-loved teddy bear that?s seen one too many adventures. Embrace the imperfections; they are what make it unique, a true reflection of Burgess?s chaotic narrative style. So, dear reader, if you find yourself yearning for a literary venture that challenges the very fabric of your understanding while also tickling your funny bone, look no further. "Tremor of Intent" is your ticket to a world where nothing is as it seems, and everything is open to interpretation. Pick up this delightful oddity from Crappy Old Books and prepare for a reading experience that is anything but ordinary. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 2156
