Stephen Fry’s breathtakingly outrageous debut novel, by turns eccentric, shocking, brilliantly comic and achingly romantic.
Adrian Healey is magnificently unprepared for the long littleness of life; unprepared too for the afternoon in Salzburg when he will witness the savage murder of a Hungarian violinist; unprepared to learn about the Mendax device; unprepared for more murders and wholly unprepared for the truth.
The Liar is a thrilling, sophisticated and laugh out loud hilarious novel from a brilliantly talented writer.

Отзывы
История взросления Адриана - молодого повесы из обеспеченной семьи, который, несмотря на свой юный возраст и достаточно хорошее положение в обществе, успел порядком устать от "пустой" и "маленькой" жизни. Он боится взрослеть, презирает условности и попадает в разные передряги.
Плюсы
Невероятно остроумное, яркое, живое произведение. Язык повествования довольно сложный, подойдет для продвинутого уровня.
