Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition textured black boards with red spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland; Author Dedication; Authors' Note; Acknowledgments; Cast of Characters; Glossary and About the Authors. Illustrated with a repeating black-and-white bird drawing. ". a captivating and complex near-future thriller combining history, science, magic, mystery, intrigue, and adventure that questions the very foundations of the modern world. My name is Melisande Stokes and this is my story. I am writing in July 1851 (Common Era, or -- let's face it -- Anno Domini) in the guest chamber of a middle-class home in Kensington, London, England. But I am not a native of this place or time. In fact, I am quite desperate to get out of here. I intend to write everything that explains how I came to be here, no matter how far-fetched or hallucinatory it may sound. To quote Peter Gabriel, a singer/songwriter who will be born ninety-nine years from now: This will be my testimony. When Melisande Stokes, an expert in linguistics and languages, accidentally meets military intelligence operative Tristan Lyons in a hallway at Harvard University, it is the beginning of a chain of events that will alter their lives and human history itself. The young man from a shadowy government entity approaches Mel, a low-level faculty member, with an incredible offer. The only condition: she must sign a nondisclosure agreement in return for the rather large sum of money. Tristan needs Mel to translate some very old documents, which, if authentic, are earth-shattering. They prove that magic actually existed and was practiced for centuries. But the arrival of the Scientific Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment weakened its power and endangered its practitioners. Magic stopped working altogether in 1851, at the time of the Great Exhibition at London's Crystal Palace - the world's fair celebrating the rise of industrial technology and commerce. Something about the modern world "jams" the "frequencies" used by magic, and it's up to Tristan to find out what. And so the Department of Diachronic Operations (D.O.D.O.) gets cracking on its real mission: to develop a device that can bring magic back, and to send Diachronic Operatives back in time to keep it alive .and meddle with a little history at the same time. But although Tristan and his expanding operation master the science and build the technology, they overlook the mercurial - and treacherous - nature of the human heart. Written with the genius, complexity, and innovation that characterize all of Neal Stephenson's work and steeped in the down-to-earth warmth and humor of Nicole Galland's storytelling style, this dazzling, vividly realized novel will make you believe in the impossible, and take you to places - and times - beyond imagining." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
