The Secret History

Brilliant American writer Donna Tartt, winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 2014, captivated readers with her very first novel THE SECRET HISTORY.

The book quickly became a bestseller. It has been translated into twenty-five languages and continues to sell in millions of copies worldwide.

The action takes place at a small college in Vermont, where nineteen-year-old Richard Papen arrives to study Ancient Greek.

Richard's new friends - four young men and one woman - are intelligent, carefree, wealthy, and so passionate about ancient culture that they consider themselves almost a special caste of its guardians. However, their friendship cannot withstand the pressures of the modern world. A murder occurs in their cheerful and tight-knit company.

Years later, trying to make sense of what happened, the protagonist relives his student life, the stages of his relationships with classmates and his beloved girl.

Under the virtuosic pen of Donna Tartt, his confession turns into a gripping psychological thriller.
