Stephen King é um autor bastante prolífero. Este ano já lançou Dr. Mercedes e em Novembro sai o seu novo romance, Revival. Abaixo, fica a sinopse do livro.
In one way, at least, our lives really are like movies. The main cast
consists of your family and friends. The supporting cast is made up of
neighbours, co-workers, teachers and daily acquaintances…But sometimes a
person who fits none of these categories comes into your life...
In a small New England town, over half a century ago, a shadow falls over a small boy playing with his toy soldiers. Jamie Morton looks up to see a striking man, the new minister. Charles Jacobs, along with his beautiful wife, will transform the local church. The men and boys are all a bit in love with Mrs. Jacobs; the women and girls feel the same about Reverend Jacobs - including Jamie’s mother and beloved sister, Claire. With Jamie, the Reverend shares a deeper bond based on a secret obsession. When tragedy strikes the Jacobs family, this charismatic preacher curses God, mocks all religious belief, and is banished from the shocked town.
Jamie has demons of his own. Wed to his guitar from the age of 13, he plays in bands across the country, living the nomadic lifestyle of bar-band rock and roll while fleeing from his family’s horrific loss. In his mid-thirties - addicted to heroin, stranded, desperate - Jamie meets Charles Jacobs again, with profound consequences for both men. Their bond becomes a pact beyond even the Devil’s devising, and Jamie discovers that revival has many meanings.
A dark and electrifying novel about addiction, fanaticism, and what might exist on the other side of life. This
rich and disturbing novel spans five decades on its way to the most
terrifying conclusion Stephen King has ever written. It’s a masterpiece
from King, in the great American tradition of Frank Norris, Nathaniel
Hawthorne, and Edgar Allan Poe.
