Shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize, The Book of Evidence by John Banville is a dark and unsettling crime classic. This special 25th anniversary edition features extra material.
Frederick Charles St John Vanderveld Montgomery. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Don`t make me laugh.
Freddie Montgomery has committed two crimes. He stole a Dutch old-master painting from a wealthy family friend and murdered the chambermaid who caught him in the act. Narcissistic, greedy and reckless, Freddie travels through life apparently without remorse. However, as he narrates his testimony, he realises that the only person to be held responsible for his life, and his crimes, is himself. He just can`t quite admit it yet…
Shortlisted for the 1989 Booker Prize, John Banville`s The Book of Evidence is a wonderfully dark, insightful and unnerving crime novel that takes us deep into the unreliable mind of an improbable murderer.

Фредди Монтгомери Бэнвиллу удался на славу. Перед нами явно злодей с головы до пят, но не ударяющийся ни в мальдоровщину, ни в карикатурные кривляния каких-нибудь бандитов из детских мультфильмов.

Настоящая классика современной ирландской литературы, что видно уже по уровню прозы. Подобное мастерство описания пошло бы любой книге на пользу, но в этом случае оно автору особенно на руку: будь повествование суше или тусклее, проникнуться главным героем было бы куда как тяжелее.
