'Think of two parallel lines. One is the life of Lee H. Oswald. One is the conspiracy to kill the President. What bridges the space between them? What makes a connection inevitable? There is a third line. It comes out of dreams, visions, intuitions, prayers, out of the deepest levels of the self.' A troubled adolescent endlessly riding New York's subway cars, Lee Harvey Oswald enters adulthood believing himself to be an agent of history. This makes him fair game to a pair of discontented CIA operatives convinced that a failed attempt on the life of the US president will force the nation to tackle the threat of communism head on. Libra is a gripping, masterful blend of fact and fiction, laying bare the wounded American psyche and the dark events that still torment it. 'An audacious blend of fiction and fact' The Times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR009659725
Pensa a due linee parallele. Una è la vita di Lee H. Oswald. L'altra è la cospirazione per uccidere il Presidente. Cosa collega le due? Cosa rende inevitabile una connessione? C'è una terza linea. Nasce da sogni, visioni, intuizioni, preghiere, dai livelli più profondi del sé. Adolescente tormentato che viaggia senza sosta sui vagoni della metropolitana di New York, Lee Harvey Oswald entra nell'età adulta credendosi un agente della storia. Questo lo rende un bersaglio facile per una coppia di agenti della CIA scontenti, convinti che un fallito attentato alla vita del Presidente degli Stati Uniti costringerà la nazione ad affrontare di petto la minaccia del comunismo. Libra è un'avvincente e magistrale miscela di realtà e finzione, che mette a nudo la psiche americana ferita e gli eventi oscuri che ancora la tormentano. 'Un'audace miscela di finzione e realtà' The Times.
