Sacred Hunger Zusammenfassung

Sacred Hunger Barry Unsworth

WINNER OF THE 1992 BOOKER PRIZE

'Gripping . . . SACRED HUNGER covers a period between 1752 and 1765 . . . it concerns the entangled and conflicted fortunes of two cousins: Erasmus Kemp, the son of a Lancashire merchant, and Matthew Paris, a scholar and surgeon just released from prison for "denying Holy Writ" . . . the Liverpool Merchant is the vessel on which the whole of the novel hinges, and it carries the reader deep into the history of man's iniquitous greed . . . AS REGARDS ITS DRAMATIC BREADTH AND ENERGY, NO RECENT DOMESTIC NOVEL HAS COME WITHIN A MILE OF IT' - Anthony Quinn in the Independent

Sacred Hunger Bewertungen

Wonderful and heartbreaking....It is a book of grace and meditative elegance, and of great moral seriousness.
This brilliantly suspenseful period piece about the slave trade in the 18th century is also a meditation on how avarice dehumanizes the oppressor as well as the oppressed.
Utterly magnificent....By its last page, you will be close to weeping.
