The Secret History
The Secret History
By Donna Tartt
The Secret History follows a group of elite students at a small New England college who become entangled in a web of intellectual arrogance, secrecy, and murder. Narrated by outsider Richard Papen, the story reveals how a shared obsession with ancient Greek culture leads the group down a dark and destructive path.
Donna Tartt masterfully weaves themes of guilt, beauty, and the corrupting influence of power into a haunting psychological narrative. The novel explores how ambition and moral decay can unravel even the most brilliant minds.
A gripping and atmospheric literary thriller that delves deep into the complexities of human nature and the shadows of academia.
