A propos de cet article

Unclipped dust-jacket, slight wrinkle at top edge. Book bound in blue cloth with gilt title on the spine, very small black mark near the bottom of the back board (there is a corresponding little brown mark on the inside of the dust-jacket, maybe the legacy of a squashed little insect??). Thereafter book unused, unmarked, as new. The book is inscribed "To Bill" and signed on the title page. Inserted are several related newspaper cuttings and a Manchester University leaflet about the event at which this book was signed ."Martin Amis In Conversation with Nick Laird 12 October 2014".

Synopsis

Shortlisted for the 2015 Walter Scott Prize

'Surely his masterpiece… Intelligent, terrifying and comic… Amis has tackled the biggest questions with imagination and intelligence, and the ultimate strength of this masterly novel is that he knows, and shows, that although there is no answer to the questions Auschwitz poses, we must never stop asking them. Read it, ponder it – revel in it indeed – then read it again.'
Allan Massie, Scotsman

There was an old story about a king who asked his favourite wizard to create a magic mirror. This mirror didn’t show you your reflection. Instead, it showed you your soul – it showed you who you really were. But the king couldn’t look into the mirror without turning away, and nor could his courtiers. No one could.

What happens when we discover who we really are? And how do we come to terms with it? Fearless and original, The Zone of Interest is a violently dark love story set against a backdrop of unadulterated evil, and a vivid journey into the depths and contradictions of the human soul.
