Описание
'His first instinct was to stretch out his hands to the sky. The white clouds seemed so near to him, surely they were easy to hold and to caress, strange-moving things belonging to the wide blue space of heaven . . . '
Julius Levy grows up in a peasant family in a village on the banks of the Seine. A quick-witted urchin caught up in the Franco-Prussian War, he is soon forced by tragedy to escape to Algeria. Once there, he learns the ease of swindling, the rewards of love affairs and the value of secrecy.
Before he's twenty, Julius is in London, where his empire-building begins in earnest, and he becomes a rich and very ruthless man. Throughout his life, Julius is driven by a hunger for power, his one weakness his daughter, Gabriel . . .
A chilling story of ambition, Daphne du Maurier's third novel has lost none of its ability to unsettle and disturb.

- Ластица — 11 Апреля 2024
A novel written in the tradition of the French "industrial" novel of the late 19th century, but caressed by modernism at the beginning of the new century. The most appropriate words that characterize the main character are: scoundrel, soulless, scoundrel - but you should not mix emotions here. It's our empathic attitude, we appeal to morality, decency, compassion, but, "This is what he is, Julius Levy." He doesn't plan ahead like a criminal, he just goes his own way. He hears only himself, and does only what is beneficial to him. And the concepts of empathy, humanity, kindness, and morality do not apply to him. If you're not ready to follow Julius through the pages of the novel in a detached way, you're going to have a hard time in places. A man who sells rats will never be lost.
