The underside

The underside

H. R. F Keating

Ovaj roman, čija se radnja odvija u viktorijanskom Londonu na njegovom vrhuncu, predstavlja sliku, istovremeno užasnu i autentičnu, 'donje strane' života u prvom gradu na svijetu.

Govori o Godfreyu Mannu, mladom slikaru, koji ima pristup zlatnom svijetu privilegija, a ipak je opsjednut uvjerljivim seksualnim nagonom prema skrivenoj bijedi i tami ispod, nostalgie de la boue koja se burno bori s njegovim idealima kao umjetnik i njegova ljubav prema lavovski hrabroj društvenoj reformatorki Elizabeti. Između Godfreyjevih bezobzirnih poriva i Elizabethine čistoće istina na kraju mora ležati. I u razradi ovog sukoba suprotnosti, priča, iako smještena u doba čija je ustaljena moralna struktura u tako snažnom kontrastu s našom popustljivošću, ima značenje za danas.
