Chameleon

John is infinite.

He can become any book, any combination of words — every thought, act and expression that has ever been, or ever will be, written. Now 800 years old, John wants to tell his story.

Looking back over his life, from its beginnings with a medieval anchoress to his current lodgings beside the deathbed of a cold war spy, John pieces together his tale: the love that held him together and, in particular, the reasons for a murder that took place in Moscow fifty years earlier, and that set in train a shattering series of events.

Samuel Fisher’s debut, The Chameleon is a love story about books like no other, weaving texts and lives in a family tale that leads the reader into an extraordinary historical journey, a journey of words as much as of places, and a gripping romance.

Ioan este infinit, el poate deveni orice carte, orice combinatie de cuvinte - orice gand, act si expresie care a fost scris sau va fi vreodata scris. Acum, in varsta de 800 de ani, John vrea sa-si spuna povestea. Privind inapoi la viata sa, de la inceputurile sale cu o ancora medievala pana la adaposturile sale actuale langa patul de moarte al unui spion de razboi rece, John isi imparte povestea: dragostea care l-a tinut impreuna si, in special, motivele unei crime care a avut loc la Moscova cu cincizeci de ani mai devreme si care a pregatit o serie de evenimente zdrobitoare. Debutul lui Samuel Fisher, The Chameleon este o poveste de dragoste despre carti ca nimeni altul, tesand texte si vieti intr-o poveste de familie care duce cititorul intr-o calatorie istorica extraordinara, o calatorie de cuvinte la fel de mult ca de locuri si o poveste romantica captivanta.
