A Dangerous Fortune

Ken Follett

Epski po svojim razmjerima, Opasna sreća govori o dramatičnim usponima i padovima bogate obitelji Pilaster od autora bestselera Stupovi Zemlje Kena Folletta.

Godine 1866. u ekskluzivnoj školi Windfield dogodila se tragedija. Mladi se student utopio u misterioznoj nesreći u kojoj je sudjelovao mali krug dječaka. Utapanje i njegove posljedice pokreću spiralni krug izdaje koji će se proteći tri desetljeća i ispreplesti mnoge živote. Od ekskluzivnih muških klubova i bordela koji zadovoljavaju svaku mračnu želju londonskih viših klasa do blistavih plesnih dvorana i apartmana obloženih mahagonijem manipulatora svjetskim bogatstvom, Ken Follett dočarava zadivljujući niz kontrasta. Ovaj roman koji oduzima dah prikazuje obitelj razdijeljenu požudom, povezanu zajedničkim naslijeđem... muškarce i žene gurnuti prema opasnom vrhuncu gdje se pohlepa, hranjena šokantnom istinom o dječakovoj smrti, mora zaustaviti, ili ne samo snovi jednog čovjeka, ali oni koji pripadaju naciji, umrijet će...
