BREAKFAST WITH THE BORGIAS

Book ID/图书代码: 03277013B66557

English Summary/英文概要: BREAKFAST WITH THE BORGIAS can of course be published as a ‘straight’ novel – I personally think it’s the best thing he’s written in years (and this is coming from a huge fan of Pierre). The setting: a faded, lonely guesthouse on the coast. Outside, it’s dark, and very foggy. Inside there’s no phone or internet reception, no connection with the outside world.

Enter Ariel Panek, a promising young academic en route from the USA to an important convention in Amsterdam. With his plane grounded by fog at Stanstead, he has been booked in for the night at the guesthouse. Discombobulated and jetlagged, he falls in with a family who appear to be commemorating an event.

But this is no ordinary celebration. And this is no ordinary family. As evening becomes night, Panek realises that he has become caught in an insidious web of other people’s secrets and lies, a Sartrian hell from which for him there may be no escape.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 故事发生在位于(英国英格兰东南部的郡)艾塞克斯海滨的一处阴暗,偏僻的客栈里。屋外浓雾弥漫而灰暗。而客栈内既无来电,也毫无住宿接待,好似与外界完全隔绝。而途经此地的阿里尔•帕内克,是一位由美国赶往阿姆斯特丹,参加一次重要会议的年轻学者。他乘坐的飞机遭遇大雾而被迫停降在斯坦斯特德机场,他已经在旅馆预定了房间过夜。由于暂时的时差影响和行程的打乱,这位年轻的住客卷入了一场看似有着家庭纪念意义的事件中。 但这不是一场普通的纪念活动,而这-也不是一家平常的家庭。

当夜幕降临,帕内克逐渐意识到自己已经陷入了他人诡秘和谎言的狡诈欺骗之中,一幕来自人间地狱的萨特版的‘禁闭’正在向他拉开序幕…… (Sandy)

His relationship with Hammer stretches back to earliest childhood. He describes never having been so chilled and intrigued as with the supernatural Hammer films he grew up with. Their effect was so great that he spent many schooldays drawing replica storyboards on cash register rolls, and holding showings for classmates on a shoebox cinema.
