Krátky popis
It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the
New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense
gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a
series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has
tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered
in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the
mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and
exquisitely patterned as the night sky. The Luminaries is an
extraordinary piece of fiction. It is full of narrative, linguistic
and psychological pleasures, and has a fiendishly clever and
original structuring device. Written in pitch-perfect historical
register, richly evoking a mid-19th century world of shipping and
banking and goldrush boom and bust, it is also a ghost story, and a
gripping mystery. It is a thrilling achievement and will confirm
for critics and readers that Catton is one of the brightest stars
in the international writing firmament.
