"Pears first came to international prominence with his best selling book An Instance of the Fingerpost (1997) , which was translated into several languages. He is known for experimenting with different narrative structures, presenting four consecutive versions of the same events in An Instance of the Fingerpost, three stories interleaved in The Dream of Scipio (2002) , three stories told in reverse chronological order in Stone's Fall (2009) , and allowing the reader to switch between multiple narratives in the electronic book version of Arcadia (2015). He has also written a novel series featuring Jonathan Argyll, art historian. " (from Wikipedia).

When Dr. Robert Grove is found dead in his Oxford room, hands clenched and face frozen in a rictus of pain, all the signs point to poison. Rashomon-like, the narrative circles around Grove's murder as four different characters give their version of events: Marco da Cola, a visiting Italian physician--or so he would like the reader to believe; Jack Prestcott, the son of a traitor who fled the country to avoid execution; Dr. John Wallis, a mathematician and cryptographer with a predilection for conspiracy theories; and Anthony Wood, a mild-mannered Oxford antiquarian whose tale proves to be the book's "instance of the fingerpost.".

Zustand: Wie neu. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 795 (5) Seiten. Umschlaggestaltung: ZERO Werbeagentur. Lesetipp des Bouquinisten! Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. - We are in England in the 1660s. Charles II has been restored to the throne following years of civil war and Cromwell's short-lived republic. Oxford is the intellectual seat of the country, a place of great scientific, religious, and political ferment. A fellow of New College is found dead in suspicious circumstances. A young woman is accused of his murder. We hear the story of the death from four witnesses: an Italian physician intent on claiming credit for the invention of blood transfusion; the son of an alleged Royalist traitor; a master cryptographer who has worked for both Cromwell and the king; and a renowned Oxford antiquarian. Each tells his own version of what happened. Only one reveals the extraordinary truth. With rights sold for record-breaking sums around the world, An Instance of the Fingerpost is destined to become a major international publishing event. Deserving of comparison to the works of John Fowles and Umberto Eco, Iain Pears's novel is an ingenious tour de force: an utterly compelling historical mystery with a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader guessing until the very last page. - - Iain Pears (* 1955 in Coventry, West Midlands) ist ein englischer Kunsthistoriker und Schriftsteller. Leben: Die Schulzeit absolvierte Pears an der Warwick School in Warwick. Im Anschluss daran studierte er unter anderem Kunsthistorik und Literatur am Wadham und Wolfson College der Oxford University. Nach erfolgreicher Beendigung dieses Studiums wurde Pears Journalist bei der BBC, beim Channel 4 und beim ZDF. Zwischen 1982 und 1990 arbeitete er als Korrespondent der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters in Frankreich, Italien, den Vereinigten Staaten und Großbritannien. 1987 ernannte die Yale University Pears zum Getty Fellow. Neben seinen journalistischen Arbeiten entstand mit der Zeit ein literarisches uvre, das vom Publikum wie auch von der offiziellen Literaturkritik immer wieder gelobt wurde. Pears ist verheiratet und lebt mit seiner Familie in Oxford. . Aus: wikipedia-Iain_Pears Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 1100 21,5 cm.
