MediaDB / «Book of Mirrors" by Eugen Ovidiu Chirovici: download fb2, read online
About the book: 2017 / The most anticipated debut of 2017! The novel has already been translated into 37 languages! The English edition was published in January 2017, the American edition in February, at the same time as the Russian one. So, New York literary agent Peter Katz receives an application for the publication of an autobiography called “The Book of Mirrors.” Attached to the application is the beginning of the manuscript - a certain Richard Flynn recalls his years of study at Princeton, his first love, and his work for the famous psychology professor Joseph Wieder. These events 25 years ago had a tragic outcome, but the criminal remained neither caught nor exposed; now Richard suddenly saw everything that happened in a different light, appreciated the role of his former lover Laura Baines in a new way... but the manuscript ends mid-sentence. Intrigued, Peter tries to get his hands on the rest of the Book of Mirrors, but the manuscript turns out to be as elusive as the truth about what happened a quarter of a century ago... The Book of Mirrors is a mystery novel in the spirit of Movie Night by Marisha Pessl. This is a book about how imagination unconsciously replaces reality. This is a book about the secret power of stories - those that we tell, those that we hide, and those that we are ready to do anything to keep secret. For the first time in Russian!
