New York. 1991. Atheneum. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket. 0689121245. Translated from the Italian by Patrick Creagh. 163 pages. hardcover. Jacket illustration by Laurence Schwinger. keywords: Literature Translated Italy Sicily. FROM THE PUBLISHER-When Gesualdo Bufalino's LIES OF THE NIGHT was published in England in the spring of 1996, it was universally praised by the reviewers, who compared the book to the tales of the Arabian Nights and the works of Alexandre Dumas, and its author to such Italian masters as Boccaccio, Lampedusa, Sciascia, Calvino, and Eco. Now American readers can see for themselves why this novel, which won Italy's most prestigious literary prize, the Strega, in 1988, has been so highly acclaimed. The setting is an island fortress, craggy; volcanic, inhospitable. In its confines are four prisoners-a baron, a gentlemanly poet, a soldier with a religious education, an amorous student-all condemned for plotting against the Bourbon king. On the eve of their execution, the aged and ailing governor of the fortress offers them a last-minute reprieve: if one of the four will reveal the identity of their mysterious leader, known as God the Father, all will go free, In the company of a fifth prisoner, a renowned bandit chief; they pass the hours before dawn telling stories, narratives of love and war, vengeance and loyalty And, as death approaches, each must decide if his life has had any meaning, and, to what, if anything, he owes his allegiance. Magnificently constructed, exquisitely written, LIES OF THE NIGHT REVEALS a magical writer in full mastery of his powers. inventory #3055.
