Undermajordomo MinorA Novel【電子書籍】[ Patrick deWitt ]

<p>From the bestselling, Man Booker?short-listed author of <em>The Sisters Brothers</em> comes a brilliant and boisterous novel that reimagines the folk tale</p> <p>A love story, an adventure story, a fable without a moral, and an ink-black comedy of manners, <em>Undermajordomo Minor</em> is Patrick deWitt's long-awaited follow-up to the internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed novel <em>The Sisters Brothers</em>.</p> <p>Lucien (Lucy) Minor is the resident odd duck in the bucolic hamlet of Bury. Friendless and loveless, young and aimless, Lucy is a compulsive liar, a sickly weakling in a town famous for producing brutish giants. Then Lucy accepts employment assisting the Majordomo of the remote, foreboding Castle Von Aux.</p> <p>While tending to his new post as Undermajordomo, Lucy soon discovers the place harbors many dark secrets, not least of which being the whereabouts of the castle's master, Baron Von Aux. He also encounters the colorful people of the local villageーthieves, madmen, aristocrats, and Klara, a delicate beauty for whose love he must compete with the exceptionally handsome soldier Adolphus. Thus begins a tale of polite theft, bitter heartbreak, domestic mystery, and cold-blooded murder in which every aspect of humanity is laid bare for our hero to observe.</p> <p><em>Undermajordomo Minor</em> is an adventure, a mystery, and a searing portrayal of rural Alpine bad behavior, but above all it is a love storyーand Lucy must be careful, for love is a violent thing.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
