Book by Faber Michel
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
With his elegant prose and perceptive imagination, the bestselling author of The Crimson Petal and the White creates a unique, self-contained world, where the perennial human drama plays out in all its passion and ambiguity. In these acclaimed novellas, Michel Faber takes on the interior world of inventively crafted characters. "The Courage Consort" tells of an a capella vocal ensemble sequestered in a Belgian chateau to rehearse a monstrously complicated new piece. But competing artistic temperaments and sexual needs create as much discordance as the avant-garde music. In "The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps," a lonely woman joins an archaeological dig at Whitby Abbey and unearths a mystery involving a long-hidden murder. In "The Fahrenheit Twins," strange children, identical in all but gender and left alone at the icy zenith of the world by their anthropologist parents, create their own ritual civilization.
PRAISE FOR THE COURAGE CONSORT
"Exotic and willfully unpredictable . . . Taken together, the stories have an unusually wide range. Mr. Faber finds odd ways to fuse brittle civility, gallows humor and a sense of real peril."--Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"The evocative language and intriguing glimpses of unfamiliar worlds that dazzled readers of The Crimson Petal and the White are here in abundance."--Nick Owchar, Los Angeles Times
