Krátky popis
Adventurer Ethan Gage travels through the darkest and most
superstitious realms of eighteenth century Europe, to the castles
and caves of Bohemia to rescue his family and uncover a mysterious
medieval device rumored to foretell the future. Having
quick-wittedly survived the battle of Trafalgar, Ethan is rushing
to rescue "Egyptian priestess" Astiza and son Harry from
imprisonment by a ruthless mystic who seeks revenge for
disfigurement, and an evil dwarf alchemist who experiments with the
occult on Prague's Golden Lane. Using death as his ruse, and a pair
of unlikely allies-a Jewish Napoleonic soldier and his sutler
father-Ethan must decipher clues from Durendal, the sword of
Roland. Astiza uses her own research to concoct an explosive escape
and find a lost tomb, their tormentors in relentless pursuit.
William Dietrich skillfully weaves intrigue and magic, romance and
danger in a historical thriller that sprints from the fury of
Napoleonic war to the mystic puzzles of Central Europe. What
enigmas will the fabled Brazen Head finally reveal?How did a
near-extinct species, eking out a meager existence with stone axes,
become the dominant power on earth, able to harness a knowledge of
nature ranging from tiny atoms to the vast structures of the
universe?Leonard Mlodinow takes us on an enthralling tour of the
history of human progress, from our time on the African savannah
through the invention of written language, all the way to modern
quantum physics. Along the way, he explores the colorful
personalities of the great philosophers, scientists, and thinkers,
and traces the cultural conditions and the elements of chance that
influenced scientific discovery. Deeply informed, accessible, and
infused with the author s trademark humor and insight, The Upright
Thinkers is a stunning tribute to humanity s intellectual curiosity
and an important book for any reader with an interest in the
scientific issues of our day."
