The Cement Garden
Ian McEwan

Amsterdam
Ian McEwan

Als desto gegensätzlicher erweisen sich ihre Ambitionen: Ein Freundschaftspakt wird zum Teufelspakt, als es in Amsterdam zum Showdown kommt. Ian McEwan erhielt 1998 den Booker-Preis für diese ebenso witzige wie gnadenlose Geschichte über die Mechanismen der Medien und der Macht.
