The secret history

THE BESTSELLER THAT DEFINED AN AGE With cloth binding and bespoke marbled endpapers, this gorgeous 30th-anniversary hardback edition of The Secret History is the perfect gift for fans! ʼEverything, somehow, fit together; some sly and benevolent Providence was revealing itself by degrees and I felt myself trembling on the brink of a fabulous discovery, as though any morning it was all going to come together---my future, my past, the whole of my life---and I was going to sit up in bed like a thunderbolt and say oh! oh! oh!ʼ Under the influence of a charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at a New England college discover a way of thought and life a world away from their banal contemporaries. But their search for the transcendent leads them down a dangerous path, beyond human constructs of morality. ʼHaunting, compelling and brilliantʼ The Times ʼIrresistible and seductiveʼ Guardian ʼEnthralling... Forceful, cerebral and impeccably controlledʼ New York Times
