Förlagets beskrivning
The second installment in Tavares's acclaimed "Kingdom" series.In a city not quite of any particular era, a distant and calculating man named Lenz Buchmann works as a surgeon, treating his patients as little more than equations to be solved: life and death no more than results to be worked through without the least compassion. Soon, however, Buchmann's ambition is no longer content with medicine, and he finds himself rising through the ranks of his country's ruling party . . . until a diagnosis transforms this likely future president from a leading player into just another victim. In language that is at once precise, clinical, and oddly childlike, Gonc?alo M. Tavares-the Portuguese novelist hailed by Jose? Saramago as the greatest of his generation-here brings us another chilling investigation into the limits of human experience, mapping the creation and then disintegration of a man we might call "evil, " and showing us how he must learn to adapt in a world he can no longer dominate
