God has abandoned the world.Perfect for fans of Susanna Clarke and Andrew Taylor!A country in flames.1791. The age of belief and superstition is passing. A new light dawns. In Paris, revolution threatens to set the world ablaze.But whose hand stokes the fire?Across the sea in England, Thomas Peach lives in quiet retirement. Some call him a magician, others a madman. But when his friend the poetess Arabella Farthingay falls prey to a sinister seducer, Mr Peach\'s fading powers are called on once more.He follows her to France - and into a world where reason contends with terror, brotherhood with bloodshed, and the last remnants of faith with the oldest enemy of them all...Praise for Jas Treadwell:\'Treadwell\'s book is a magnificent pastiche of 18th-century fiction\'The Sunday Times\'Tristram Shandy meets Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell in a novel that addresses dark disturbing themes with tremendous wit, charm and elegance\'Daily Express\'Part historical pastiche, part gothic horror, this is an ambitious and stylistically bold 18th-century adventure with shades of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell\'SFX\'Treadwell\'s book entertains and impresses . . . He must be heartily congratulated both for performing an extraordinary feat of literary ventriloquism and also for reminding us what historical fiction does best: create an entirely convincing vanished world while also using that world as a lens through which to view the present day\'Guardian Σελίδες: 464, Έτος Έκδοσης: 1112, Διαστάσεις: 15.4x15.4cm
