Description

Minerva, 1997. Standard. Paperback. Good. Outline:- In the tradition of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Umberto Eco, Lawrence Norfolk has created a dizzyingly dense and impressively erudite fantasy of a novel, a vast edifice based around a single, actual historical event: the sinking off the coast of Italy of a Portugese ship bound on a bizarre mission, to deliver an African rhino to Pope Leo X. Norfolk takes his readers on a world tour of the 16th century, from the flophouses of Rome to the rain forest of West Africa, and along the way he piles historical esoterica upon philosophical rumination upon myriad subplots and minor characters. The chains of event and coincidence and the encyclopedic references will exhaust some readers long before the mad quest for the rhino meets its watery end, but Norfolk`s baroque talent remains inexhaustible.-> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Minerva The date of this copy is 1997 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
