Varljivo osjećanje

Amis Kingsley

Knjiga prikazuje svet u kome protestantska reformacija nikada nije uspela, a Evropa ostaje pod strogom kontrolom Rimokatoličke crkve.

Glavni lik je Hubert Anvil, talentovani dečak sopran čiji glas zadivljuje crkvene vlasti. Zbog lepote njegovog glasa, crkva planira da ga kastrira kako bi zadržao svoj sopran i postao simbol božanske čistote kroz muziku. Hubert i njegova porodica suočavaju se sa teškom moralnom dilemom: da slede lične želje i integritet tela ili da se pokore volji crkve i obezbede dečakov status i bezbednost. Hubert postepeno postaje svestan manipulacije, kontrole i ograničenja u svetu kojim vlada crkva. Ova društvena kritika izražava se kroz detalje svakodnevnog života, cenzuru, kulturnu represiju i stroga pravila o seksualnosti i individualnosti. Kroz roman, Hubert razvija osećaj unutrašnjeg otpora, ali okolnosti ga sve više pritiskaju. Roman se završava na tragično ironičan način, što tera čitaoca da razmišlja o ceni poslušnosti, gubitku slobode i identiteta.
