Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Doris Lessing was one of the most important writers of the second half of the 20th-century and was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature 2007. Her novels include The Grass is Singing, The Golden Notebook and The Good Terrorist. In 2001, Lessing was awarded the David Cohen Prize for a lifetime's achievement in British literature. In 2008, The Times ranked her fifth on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". She died in 2013.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

In a dilapidated London squat, a ragged band of bourgeois revolutionaries is bound together by a furious disgust at the waste and cruelty they see in the world around them. Ill-suited and ill-prepared, they soon become involved in acts of terrorism far beyond their competence. Alice, motherly, practical and fiercely determined, becomes both the group’s organiser and its easiest victim – the perfect prey for a darker, more dangerous cause. When naive, radical fantasies become real, chaotic destruction, nothing in their lives will ever be the same again.

Exploring the paradox and fantasy of ideological purity, The Good Terrorist is at once a perennially relevant satire and a complex character-study by Nobel Laureate Doris Lessing.
