A basement in North London holds its own secrets - as the life of Lord Nelson is faithfully re-enacted by his 'dark twin', his 'land shadow'. LOSING NELSON is a brilliant psychological narrative and a compelling analysis of hero worship. 'Few novelists now writing are anything like as reliably enjoyable as Barry Unsworth... there is very little the reviewer need say about his fiction, except READ IT' Spectator

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Abnutzung / Risse - leicht; Vergilbt / ausgeblichen. Barry Unsworth's Losing Nelson is a novel of obsession, the story of a man unable to see himself separately from the hero he mistakenly idolizes Admiral Lord Nelson. Charles Cleasby is, in fact, a Nelson biographer run amok. He is convinced that Nelson--Britain's greatest admiral, who finally defeated Napoleon, and lost his own life, in the Battle of Trafalgar--is the perfect hero, but in his research he has come upon an incident of horrifying brutality in Nelson's military career that simply stumps all attempts at glorification.
