Il Voynich a cui fa riferimento il romanzo é ancora oggi considerato il manoscritto più misterioso del mondo. Nella finzione di questa storia nasconde un segreto inimmaginabile in grado, se svelato, di sconvolgere il destino della cristianità: l'esistenza del fratello gemello di Gesù. Per secoli su questo segreto hanno vegliato i Barabba a capo dei quali vi era Oliver Jordan Preston Parker il nonno della protagonista che infatti si ritroverà in una pericolosa avventura con due compagni di viaggio d'eccezione, Joseph Cardinali, curatore del British Museum, e Albert Gifford, esperto di occultismo e studioso di religione e associazioni segrete. Elisabeth però quando sveleranno l'enigma metterà tutti di fronte a un ennesimo grande colpo di scena.

Una donna bella e colta nell'epoca tra fine Rinascimento e inizio Barocco era vista come qualcosa di bizzarro. Se poi oltre all'abilita nella lettura e alla capacità di linguaggio si nascondeva il saper creare la conoscenza, di certo si trattava di un'eretica, intollerabile presunzione. Ecco perché Maria Beatrice quando cercò con le sue forze di combattere l'inquisizione, fu definita la Contessa Scandalosa. Il romanzo grazie alla storia, alle tradizioni e a personaggi realmente esistiti come Cosimo De Medici, Cristina di Lorena, Giordano Bruno, Caravaggio e Leonardo, permette di assaporare il gusto di un passato accattivante, tormentato, irrequieto che, con i suoi pregi e i suoi difetti, ha comunque segnato un importante cambiamento epocale nell'arte, nelle scienze, nelle lettere, attribuendo anche un nuovo concetto alla dignità umana. Le vicende di Triora e del processo alle streghe sono trattate prendendo spunto dai documenti originali.

A fantasy classic by the author of The House with a Clock in Its Walls—basis for the Jack Black movie—and “a writer who knows what wizardry is all about” (Ursula K. Le Guin). A richly imaginative story of wizards stymied by a power beyond their control, A Face in the Frost combines the thrills of a horror novel with the inventiveness of fairy tale–inspired fantasy. Prospero, a tall, skinny misfit of a wizard, lives in the South Kingdom—a patchwork of feuding duchies and small manors, all loosely loyal to one figurehead king. Along with his necromancer friend Roger Bacon, who has been on a quest to find a mysterious book, Prospero must flee his home to escape ominous pursuers. Thus begins an adventure that will lead him to a grove where his old rival, Melichus, is falsely rumored to be buried and to a less-than-hospitable inn in the town of Five Dials—and ultimately into a dangerous battle with origins in a magical glass paperweight. Lin Carter called The Face in the Frost one of “the best fantasy novels to appear since The Lord of the Rings . . . Absolutely first class.” With a unique blend of humor and darkness, it remains one of the most beloved tales by the Edgar Award–nominated author also known for the long-running Lewis Barnavelt series.

Agamben charts a journey that ranges from poems of chivalry to philosophy, from Yvain to Hegel, from Beatrice to Heidegger. An ancient legend identifies Demon, Chance, Love, and Necessity as the four gods who preside over the birth of every human being. We must all pay tribute to these deities and should not try to elude or dupe them. To accept them, Giorgio Agamben suggests, is to live one's life as an adventure—not in the trivial sense of the term, with lightness and disenchantment, but with the understanding that adventure, as a specific way of being, is the most profound experience in our human existence. In this pithy, poetic, and compelling book, Agamben maps a journey from poems of chivalry to philosophy, from Yvain to Hegel, from Beatrice to Heidegger. The four gods of legend are joined at the end by a goddess, the most elusive and mysterious of all: Elpis, Hope. In Greek mythology, Hope remains in Pandora's box, not because it postpones its fulfillment to an invisible beyond but because somehow it has always been already satisfied. Here, Agamben presents Hope as the ultimate gift of the human adventure on Earth.

“The code-breaking and -making heroine of [this] smart, engaging novel takes a critical view of the corporate marketing of cool . . . a captivating heroine.” —Publishers Weekly Twentysomething Alice Butler is a bit of an introvert, but it hasn’t stopped her from landing a job at the UK office of globally successful—if slightly sinister—toy company PopCo. There’s no dress code, but that doesn’t keep Alice’s coworkers from commenting on her “Bletchley Park look” outfits. Now the CEO wants the creatives on the staff to attend what the organization calls “Thought Camp” and invent an insidious product that will part as many teenage girls from their allowances as possible. Alice isn’t feeling so comfortable about her supposedly cool new job. But she has another problem to solve first. She’s started to receive bizarre encrypted messages, and they may have something to do with her cryptanalyst grandfather; her long-disappeared father; a centuries-old manuscript; and the possibility of buried treasure. Alice is convinced the engraving on the necklace she’s been wearing since she was ten years old holds the key to it all. But the secrets she uncovers may take her by surprise, in this highly original novel that blends code, mathematics, marketing, mystery, and more, “a sort of Harriet-the-Spy-meets-Douglas-Coupland with a Treasure Island twist” (Daily Candy). “How many novels can you think of that leave the reader with an intriguing puzzle to solve, plus a cake recipe, plus a crossword and a list of the first thousand prime numbers? Clever, likeable, frothy, zeitgeist-chasing.” —Time Out London
