Description:

Durante la ocupacion nazi de Holanda, el jovencisimo estanquero Henri Osewoudt vive al margen de los acontecimientos hasta que recibe la visita del misterioso Dorbeck, un miembro activo de la resistencia. Alter ego del protagonista, a quien se parece «como el negativo de una foto se parece al positivo», Dorbeck pide a Osewoudt que revele unos carretes con, al parecer, informacion clave sobre los intereses nazis: sera la primera de las muchas misiones clandestinas en las que se vera envuelto el protagonista. Sin embargo, cuando los Aliados liberen el pais, la implicacion de Osewoudt como heroe de la resistencia se cuestionara al ser arrestado y acusado de colaborar con los alemanes. Fascinante thriller de guerra, El cuarto oscuro de Damocles es una historia de traicion, mentiras y ambigüedad moral que lleva al lector a dudar de la realidad, como les sucede a los personajes. Mas alla de la envolvente intriga, no exenta del existencialismo que impregna sus obras, Hermans construye un complejo mundo de equivocos para abordar la fragilidad de la percepcion humana. / A modern day masterpiece and the most critically acclaimed Dutch novel of the 20th centuryfinally available in English and shortlisted by Three Percent as one of the best translated books of 2008. During the German occupation of Holland, tobacconist Henri Osewoudt is visited by a man named Dorbeck, who strangely proves to be Osewoudts spitting image in reverse. Dorbeck assigns Osewoudt to commit a series of dangerous assignments, but things quickly go awry, with Osewouldt eventually killing his own wife. After the war, Osewoudt is taken for a traitor and captured. Osewoudt cannot prove that he received assignments from Dorbeckhe cannot even prove that his doppelganger ever existed. As it forces readers to confront questions of morality and power, right and wrong, The Darkroom of Damocles builds to a stunning conclusion.
