In the basement of a large Victorian house in London, Charles Cleasby painstakingly re-enacts the great sea battles of his hero, Horatio Nelson. He is also writing a faithful biography of the great man, as a true English hero for an age without idols, a 'bright angel' to Charles's dark shadow. But as Charles's visiting typist, Miss Lily, begins to question Nelson's heroism, and as Charles unearths evidence which tarnishes the image of his icon, his own precarious sense of identity is undermined and the battle raging inside him -- between darkness and light, reality and fantasy -- threatens to overwhelm him.

Etat : As New. : En el sótano de una gran casa victoriana en Londres, Charles Cleasby recrea minuciosamente las grandes batallas navales de su héroe, Horatio Nelson. También está escribiendo una biografía fiel del gran hombre, como un verdadero héroe inglés para una época sin ídolos, un 'ángel brillante' para la sombra oscura de Charles. Pero a medida que la mecanógrafa visitante de Charles, la señorita Lily, comienza a cuestionar el heroísmo de Nelson, y a medida que Charles desentierra evidencia que empaña la imagen de su ícono, su propio sentido precario de identidad se ve socavado y la batalla que se libra dentro de él, entre la oscuridad y la luz, la realidad y la fantasía, amenaza con abrumarlo.
