Kenneth Toomey is an eminent novelist of dubious talent; Don Carlo Campanati is a man of God, a shrewd manipulator who rises through the Vatican to become the architect of church revolution and a candidate for sainthood. These two men are linked not only by family ties but by a common understanding of mankind's frailties. In this epic masterpiece, Anthony Burgess plumbs the depths of the essence of power and the lengths men will go for it.

Reviews
-
"Crowded, crammed, bursting with manic erudition, garlicky puns, omnilingual jokes... which meshes the real and personalised history of the twentieth century"
Martin Amis
-
"Burgess is the great postmodern storehouse of British writing-an important experimentalist; an encyclopaedic amasser, but also a maker of form; a playful comic, with a dark gloom"
Malcolm Bradbury
-
"Enormous imagination and vitality - a huge book in every way"
Sunday Times
-
"A hellfire tract thrown down by a novelist at the peak of his powers"
The Times
-
"In all ways, a remarkable book"
Paul Theroux
