The Alteration Zusammenfassung

The Alteration Kingsley Amis

Hubert Anvil is a 10 year old boy blessed with the voice of an angel. The Church hierarchy decrees that Hubert should be turned into a castrato - an alteration that could bring Hubert fame and fortune, but would also cut him off from an adult world he is curious to discover. In a dystopian world where Martin Luther never reformed and where the Holy Office's power is absolute, where will Hubert turn if he decides to defy their wishes?

The Alteration Bewertungen

Kingsley Amis's coruscating tour de force... * The Economist *
Certain of his place up alongside P.G. Wodehouse, Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell among the English comic masters of the twentieth century. * Guardian *
The disorientating world of The Alteration is the same but different, familiar yet strange -- Laura Keynes * Tablet *
