Morris Langlo West Knihy

Najnovší román významného prozaika austrálskeho pôvodu je dramatickým príbehom z prostredia Vatikánu, sústredeným na pozadie voľby pápeža, kde hrajú dôležitú úlohu nielen zásluhy, morálka a viera, ale i boj o moc, intrigy a korupcia. Hlavná postava, kardinál Luca Rossini, vplyvný muž s pestrou minulosťou, ktorý ako mladý kňaz v Južnej Amerike zažil ťažké fyzické príkoria, ale i lásku k žene, získava jeden z najvyšších postov, aký môže získať iba múdry a prezieravý muž s hlbokými zásadami. Cesta, ktorá ho priviedla na vrchol, však nebola ľahká - aj on je len človek s obyčajnými ľudskými slabosťami, aj on im podľahol a poznačili ho na celý život. Lásku, vášeň a citové vzťahy pôsobivo podčiarkuje exotické ovzdušie malebných uličiek starého Ríma, kde sa spletajú a rozpletajú pestré nitky ľudských osudov.

Teraz žijeme šťastne v starom kraji, kde sedmokrásky rastú z úst dávno zomrelých a ruže z lona svätých panien, ktoré nikdy neporodili- a toto sú ušľachtilejšie epitafy, ako tie, ktoré ste čítali na náhrobkoch. Pre Vlka niet ruží, lebo sa stratil v ohni a čo z neho ostalo, po tých suchých,zabehaných postupoch zákona, pochoval Morrison na svojom pozemku.

Cieľom autora bolo zmapovať život detí od batoľaťa až po dospelosť a presvedčiť sa, čo z nich Neapol vykreše...

Charles Parnell Cassidy is an Australian politician cast in the traditional Irish-Catholic mold of rhetoric, dynasty, and influence-peddling. Martin Gregory is the moral and disenchanted protege who married Cassidy's daughter, went to Europe, became a success on his own merits, and scorned his father-in-law. When the terminally ill Cassidy appears in London to die, he makes Gregory the executor of his legal estate and sets a complex trap by offering him the keys to a vast empire of wealth and corruption spanning Australia and Southeast Asia. With Cassidy's evil influence ever present, Gregory tries to unravel the complications of the old man's estate, obligations, and debts, while struggling with his own ambition and the security of his family. A powerful story from a master storyteller.
