About this ebook:
- Spur apdovanojimas už geriausią vesterno kategorijoje pirmąją negrožinę knygą- Spur apdovanojimų finalininkas už geriausią vesterno kategorijoje šiuolaikinę negrožinę knygą- IPPY sidabrinė premija už geriausius memuarus- Next Generation Indie apdovanojimas už geriausius memuarus (kaip įveikiami sunkumai)Šioje nepamirštamoje memuarų knygoje apie šeimą ir išgyvenimą pasakojama, kaip buvęs kalinys smurtautojas verčia savo sūnų daryti nusikaltimus.Augdami Navahų indėnų rezervate Deividas Krou ir brolis bei sesės dievino savo tėvą, savamokslį čerokį Terstoną Krou, kuris mėgo girtis vaikams savo žygdarbiais Antrojo pasaulinio karo metais. Tačiau laikui bėgant Deividas atrado kitą Terstono Krou pusę – buvusį kalinį su savo etikos kodeksu, pateisinančiu žiaurumą, smurtą, melą ir net žmogžudystę. Mušdamas ir tokiu būdu baugindamas Deividą, Terstonas privertė berniuką vykdyti jo nusikalstamus planus. Deivido mama, turinti psichikos problemų ir neįstengdama tinkamai pasirūpinti vaikais, negalėjo jo apsaugoti.Ryžtingam ir darbščiam Deividui pavyko įstoti į universitetą ir pasiekti profesinę sėkmę. Pagaliau atradęs savyje drąsos pasipriešinti nusikalstamiems tėvo reikalavimams, jis nesąmoningai įsivelia į keršto planą ir yra priverstas stoti į lemiamą dvikovą su nuožmiuoju Terstonu Krou. Deividas turi tik dvidešimt keturias valandas, kad pergudrautų savo tėvą – genialų psichopatą, kuris gyrėsi, kad treji metai, praleisti liūdnai pagarsėjusiame San Kventino kalėjime, buvo lengviausias laikas jo gyvenime.Nepagražintas ir tiesiog fiziškai išgyvenamas „Blyškiaveidis melas" – tai įkvepiantis pasakojimas apie atleidimo galią ir žmogaus dvasios stiprybę.„Šie skausmingi memuarai [...] – tai teisinga ir galiausiai jėgų suteikianti žinia apie ilgą šešėlį, kurį meta smurtaujantis tėvas." - Publishers Weekly„Taros Westover knygos „Apšviestoji" gerbėjams patiksianti knyga „Blyškiaveidis melas. Tikra istorija" – tai šokiruojantys, bet nepaprastai įtraukiantys memuarai apie tai, kaip vieno žmogaus psichopatinės iliuzijos gali įkalinti visą šeimą [...]. Tiesiog jėgų suteikiantys memuarai." - New York Journal of Books„Crow memuarai prikausto dėmesį kinematografine prasme [...]. Tai nepaprasti prisiminimai, kurie ir drasko širdį, ir įkvepia." - Kirkus Reviews„Sukrečiantys, širdį veriantys memuarai, kurie turėtų atsidurti kiekviename skaitytinų knygų apie šeimos santykius ir prievartą, tikrus nusikaltimus, Amerikos čiabuvių kultūrą ir tarpusavio santykius sąraše." - Midwest Book Review„Viena labiausiai pamokančių ir įdomiausių tikrų istorijų, kokias man kada nors teko skaityti [...] Kiekviename puslapyje – vis naujas veiksmas ir jaudulys, perteikiamas paprastu dialogu ir nuoširdumu. Jeigu ieškote įtraukiančios ir jaudinančios knygos, jau šiandien griebkite „Blyškiaveidį melą"." - Skaitytojų mėgstamiausių knygų kategorija (5 žvaigždutės)„Įtikinamai ir vaizdingai parašyti memuarai apie išskirtinai disfunkcinę šeimą." - Davidas Steinbergas, Albuquerque Journal„Sunku įsivaizduoti blogesnę vaikystę negu tą, kurią patyrė autorius Davidas Crow ir jo brolis bei sesės. Tačiau įtikinami ir širdį veriantys memuarai pakyla virš siaubo kaip galingas žmogaus dvasios stiprybės įrodymas. D. Crow meistriškumas bandant rašytojo plunksną ir nuostabi savybė nedemonstruoti nė krislelio savigailos dar labiau įtraukia skaitytoją į šią tikrą istoriją." - Anne'a Hillerman, New York Times bestselerių autorė„Pasakysiu štai ką: „Blyškiaveidis melas" – sunkus ir genialiai įžvalgus žvilgsnis į tai, kaip susitvarkyti su mums tekusiu likimu ir jį pakreipti geresne linkme." - Joe R. Lansdale'as, daugiau nei 40 apdovanojimus pelniusių romanų, tarp jų Paradise Sky ir Cold in July, autorius„[Crow] knyga kupina išminties, o pabaiga tokia netikėta, kad ilgai išliks atmintyje. Patikėkite, tokios knygos, kaip ši, dar neskaitėte." - Jeffas Guinnas, New York Times bestselerių autorius„Širdį draskanti ir iki širdies gelmių nuoširdi knyga. Kiekvienas, kuriam teko išgyventi sunkią vaikystę, turėtų perskaityti „Blyškiaveidį melą". Davido Crow knyga – įrodymas, kad viltis prisikelia iš pelenų." - Chrisas Enssas, New York Times bestselerių autorius„Blyškiaveidis melas" – prikaustantis pasakojimas apie aukštyn kojomis apvirtusį pasaulį. Labai vaizdinga, įtrauki ir puikiai parašyta knyga, kuri privers skaitytoją gūžtis iš siaubo, nubraukti ašarą ir sirgti už berniuką, žengiantį klastingu ir sunkiu keliu į suaugusiojo gyvenimą. Negalėjau atsiplėšti nuo knygos." - Felixas F. Giordano, bestselerių apie Džimą Buchananą autorius***Davidas Crow vaikystę praleido Navahų indėnų rezervate, įsikūrusiame Arizonos ir Naujosios Meksikos valstijose. Būdamas drąsus, ištvermingas ir nepaprastai trokšdamas mokytis, jis vargais negalais paspruko nuo vaikystėje patirto smurto, baigė universitetą ir įkūrė sėkmingai dirbančią lobistinę įmonę Vašingtone. Šiandien Deividas yra daugelio kviečiamas lektoriu...
