Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Ancient Fiction-or the Truth? For me, it all began in 2017, when I met Valeria Dimarco. That was when I first heard about the Lost Books-and about Dericci's involvement in translating them. "Back in 1968," Valeria had begun, "seventy-six books were discovered beneath Pompeii." This is the one. The very first book Dericci translated-and the very last of the seventy-six to have been written.The one that dates back to the 3rd century BCE and tells why the Library of Alexandria was built.But most importantly, it is the one that contains his book: The Book of the Lost One. A mysterious oracle who claims to remember events older than the world itself.He speaks of Creation with absolute certainty.Then he orders that the world's greatest library be built in Alexandria. Liber Perditorum-a book for those who are searching still. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In 1968, seventy-six impossible books are unearthed beneath Pompeii. Bound in leather, stitched with silver thread, and marked with the seal of the Library of Alexandria, they should not have survived-and perhaps should never have existed. Professor Matteo Dericci, a brilliant and controversial linguist, is given the task to translate one of them. The recovered text carries him into ancient Alexandria, where the dying Ptolemy Soter commands the creation of the greatest library in history. His heir, Philadelphus, inherits a city alive with rumor, a priesthood that has surrendered sight and hearing, and a stranger who calls himself Prometheus: witness of creation, prisoner of the gods, and preacher of a truth humanity was never meant to hear. But the deeper Dericci reads, the less the manuscript resembles an ordinary relic. History folds into myth. Prophecy begins to resemble memory. Sacred tradition, political invention, and ancient fantasy become impossible to separate. What if humanity's oldest stories are not inventions-but damaged translations of something real? Liber Perditorum is a layered literary mystery blending historical fantasy, mythology, theological speculation, and the intellectual intrigue of a recovered archive. Myth? Sacred text? Ancient fantasy fiction? Perhaps all three. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.…
