この電子書籍について
The New York Times–bestselling author “demonstrates his proficiency with high-quality speculative fiction” in a tale of Prometheus in South Central L.A. (Publishers Weekly).
In ancient mythology, the Titan Prometheus was punished by the gods for bringing man the gift of fire—an event that set humankind on its course of knowledge. As punishment for making man as powerful as gods, Prometheus was bound to a rock; every day his immortal body was devoured by a giant eagle. But in Walter Mosley’s The Gift of Fire, those chains cease to be, and the great champion of man walks from that immortal prison into present-day South Central Los Angeles with another gift to offer humankind . . .
“Ingenious and mystical . . . Fans of Mosley’s gumshoe noir books will certainly wish to investigate.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A writer whose work transcends category and qualifies as serious literature.” —Time
“Mosley is one of the most humane, insightful, powerful prose stylists working today in any genre.” —The Austin Chronicle
