Popis produktu
Publikace: Ex-Libris - Ross King. A cryptic summons to a remote country house launches Isaac Inchbold, a London bookseller and antiquarian, on an odyssey through seventeenth-century Europe. Charged with the task of restoring a magnificent library destroyed by the war, Inchbold moves between Prague and the Tower Bridge in London, his fortunes—and his life—hanging on his ability to recover a missing manuscript. Yet the lost volume is not what it seems, and his search is part of a treacherous game of underworld spies and smugglers, ciphers, and forgeries. Inchbold's adventure is compelling from beginning to end as Ross King vividly recreates the turmoil of Europe in the seventeenth century—the sacks of great cities; Raleigh's final voyage; the quest for occult knowledge; and a watery escape from three mysterious horsemen. Publikace: Ex-Libris - Ross King. Ex-Libris - King Ross King's literary thriller combines the layered, multifaceted narrative style of Iain Pears' Instance of the Fingerpost with Dorothy Dunnett's broad-canvas grasp of English history. The story, set in 1660s London sparkles with intrigue and adventure, literature, history, politics, and philosophy. z kategorie Knihy | Učebnice | Cizí jazyky | Anglický jazyk | Zjednodušená četba od Penguin Books naleznete ne e-shopu KnihyDobrovsky.cz!
