Harold Robbins, Os Libertinos

Descrição

Os Libertinos: O mundo dos aventureiros — Os leitores habituais de Harold Robbins descobrirão que há material para uns quatro romances de sucesso em “Os libertinos” – e concordarão também que todos deveriam ter como central a figura de Dax Xenos que, nesse livro, torna-se inesquecível.

The Adventurers (1966) — The wealthy playboy, son of an assassinated South American diplomat from “Corteguay”, discovers that his father was really murdered on orders of the corrupt president of the country–a man who was his father’s friend and who, in fact, his father had helped put into power. He returns from living a jet-set life in Europe to lead a revolution against the government, only to find out that things aren’t quite as black and white as he had assumed.

The Adventurers, a story of revolution and danger in the sultry jungles of South America. As a young boy, Diogenes Alejandro Xenos, witnesses the murder of his mother and sister by a band of marauders. As “Dax” grows to adulthood, he channels his fear and hatred into a desire for revolution, swearing revenge on those in power as he upsets the status quo. His actions make him an outlaw, living on the fringes of society in a land turned upside down with corruption. He is wanted by men and women alike-but for very different reasons. This epic tale of escape from the horrors of a third-world regime is one of Harold Robbins’ most ambitious novels ever, combining his trademark sensuality with political intrigue and a globe-spanning variety of exotic locales.

Livro da década de 70/80, em bom estado de conservação.
