Descripción Soft cover. Condición: New. 1st Edition. Seal Books, 2007. Book Condition: New. Brand New, Unread Copy in Perfect Condition.Summary: "McEwan''s Atonement .truly dazzles, proving to be as much about the art and morality of writing as it is about the past. The middle section of Atonement , the two vividly realized set pieces of Robbie''s trek to the Channel and Briony''s experiences with the wounded evacuees of Dunkirk, would alone have made an outstanding novel. There is wonderful writing throughout as McEwan weaves his many themes the accidents of contingency, the sins of absent fathers, class oppression -- into his narrative, and in a magical love scene." Brian Bethune, Maclean's ". Atonement is a deliriously great read, but more than that it is a great book. There are characters you follow with breathless anxiety; a plot worthy of a top-drawer suspense novelist, complete with jolting reversals; language that unspools seemingly effortlessly, yet leaves a minefield of still-to-be-detonated nouns and verbs. rife with.unforgettable tableaux." The Globe and Mail "What a joy it is to read a book that shocks one into remembering just how high one''s literary standards should be. a tour de force by one of England''s best novelists.
