Imagine waking up one day to discover that you have forgotten everything about your life. Your only link with the past, your only hope for the future, is your identical twin. Now imagine, years later, discovering that your twin had not told you the whole truth about your childhood, your family, and the forces that had shaped you. Why the secrets? Why the silences? You have no choice but to begin again. This has been Alex's reality: a world where memories are just the stories people tell you, where fact and fiction are impossible to distinguish. With dogged courage he has spent years hunting for the truth about his hidden past and his remarkable family. His quest to understand his true identity has revealed shocking betrayals and a secret tragedy, extraordinary triumph over crippling adversity and, above all, redemption founded on brotherly love. Marcus his twin brother has sometimes been a reluctant companion on this journey, but for him too it has led to staggering revelations and ultimately the shedding of impossible burdens. Their story spans continents and eras, from 1950s debutantes and high society in the Home Counties to a remote island in the Pacific and 90s raves. Disturbing, funny, heart-breaking and affirming, Alex and Marcus's determination to rebuild their lives makes us look afresh at how we choose to tell our stories.

Siamo di fronte a una ""Tolkien-inspired fiction."" "Il Libro Nero del Mastio Rosso" (tradotto dall'inglese da Alberto Quagliaroli e Lorenzo Daniele che ne firma anche le illustrazioni) parla di Isildur, il figlio di Elendil e re di Gondor, colui che taglio il dito di Sauron nella battaglia dell'Ultima Alleanza e da esso tolse l'Unico Anello che, pero, poi anch'egli perdette. Questo romanzo parla anche del Re Stregone, il capo dei Nazgul, che affronto Gandalf, uccise Theoden e fu ucciso da Eowin e da Merry. Re Stregone il cui nome non fu mai pronunciato nelle storie di Tolkien. Come il romanzo di Lewis parla di Isildur e del Re Stregone? Diciamo solo che tutti i fatti sorprendenti e paradossali che Lewis "rivela" nel suo romanzo sono pero sia sempre del tutto logicamente compatibili coi fatti narrati da Tolkien, sia spesso logicamente implicati da essi, come se fossero verita nascoste e piu profonde che completano e spiegano con maggior e profondita e coerenza le verita della storiografia "ufficiale."Alex Lewis non e solo un romanziere e un poeta, e anche un saggista acuto e filosofico. Nei Proceedings del convegno oxoniense per il centenario della nascita di Tolkien abbiamo gia letto il suo scritto su ""Historical Bias in the Silmarillion,"" in cui dimostra come il ""Quenta Silmarillion"" sia stato scritto dagli Elfi e dunque riempito dei loro pregiudizi etnocentrici.
