I don't remember anything about this story, but I do remember that I read several of Trevanian's books and liked them, although I can't remember if I actually liked every one. This was before the web, so he was a bit of a mystery to me. I just looked for his books in the bookstores. I can't really rate any of his specific books, unfortunately, without rereading them. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

Nicholai Hel, born in the ravages of World War I China to an aristocratic Russian mother and a mysterious German father, and raised in the spiritual gardens of a Japanese Go master, survives the destruction of Hiroshima to emerge as the world's most artful lover and its most accomplished and highly paid assassin. Genius, mystic, master of language and culture, Hel's secret is his determination to attain a rare kind of personal excellence, a state of effortless perfection--shibumi. Now living in an isolated mountain fortress with his magnificent Eurasian mistress, Hel faces his most sinister enemy, a super-monolith of espionage and monopoly. The battle lines are drawn: ruthless power and corruption on one side, and on the other, shibumi. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I meant to mention that I'd read an October 2011 brief article that Leonardo DiCaprio would be playing Nicholai Hel in a prequel to this called Sartori. I see the character more as a Benedict Cumberbatch type--maybe that's why the movie never manifested--or maybe they're still working on it. ( )
