Om denne bog

Under en tung och mulen kvällshimmel möts två älskande i smyg, ovetande om att deras hemlighet redan är avslöjad. Utanför fönstret spyr fabrikernas skorstenar ut eld och rök över det engelska landskapet, en förvarning om den hetta som snart ska förtära allt i sin väg. När den bedragne maken Horrocks kliver ut ur skuggorna påbörjas en psykologisk katt-och-råtta-lek som tar sin början i vardagsrummets trygghet och slutar i järnverkets brinnande hjärta.

H.G. Wells mästerliga novell är en tidlös skildring av svartsjuka, klasskillnader och industrialismens obevekliga kraft. I denna moderna nyöversättning har språket slipats för att göra den täta stämningen och den krypande spänningen mer tillgänglig än någonsin. Upplev en av litteraturhistoriens mest intensiva uppgörelser i en version som är lika lättläst som den är fängslande.
