The brilliant American writer Donna Tartt, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2014, captivated readers with her very first novel, The Secret History. The book immediately became a bestseller. It has been translated into twenty-five languages and continues to sell millions of copies worldwide.
The action takes place in a small college in Vermont, where nineteen-year-old Richard Papen comes to study ancient Greek. Richard's new friends - four young men and one girl - are smart, relaxed, rich and so passionate about ancient culture that they consider themselves almost a special caste of its guardians. Their friendship, however, does not withstand the onslaught of the modern world. A murder occurs in a cheerful and close-knit company. Trying to comprehend what happened many years later, the hero reproduces his student life day by day, the stages of relationships with classmates and his girlfriend. Under the virtuoso pen of Donna Tartt, his confession turns into a gripping psychological thriller.
