Sobre este item

London: Chatto & Windus, 1987. Fine./Fine.. Octavo. Pale grey gilt cloth. About fine, in a fine highly pictorial, unclipped dust jacket designed by Tom Phillips whose remarkable portrait of Dame Jean Iris Murdoch hangs in London's National Portrait Gallery.  

First edition, first impression. Murdoch's twenty-third novel, and considered to be one of her best, concerns a group of Oxford University friends who, in middle-age, gather at a summer ball. An ancient love affair is rekindled, everyone is aghast. Several years earlier the group formed a "brotherhood" to finance one of the two lover's effort to write a theoretical book, presumably about Marxism, but the book has yet to be published. Each member of the brotherhood pays their annual dues but demands nothing from him; in fact, they are reluctant even to approach him about his progress.

Sinopse

A story about love and friendship and Marxism Many years ago Gerard Hernshaw and his friends “commissioned” one of their number to write a political book. Time passes and opinions change. “Why should we go on supporting a book which we detest?” Rose Curtland asks. “The brotherhood of Western intellectuals versus the book of history,” Jenkin Riderhood suggests. The theft of a wife further embroils the situation. Moral indignation must be separated from political disagreement. Tamar Hernshaw has a different trouble and a terrible secret. Can one die of shame? In another quarter a suicide pact seems the solution. Duncan Cambus thinks that since it is a tragedy, someone must die. Someone dies. Rose, who has gone on loving without hope, at least deserves a reward.
