The Nature of Monsters. Clare Clark521 руб
When her lover casts her off, denying their union, she is forced to travel to London, a city that attracts and alarms her in equal measure. It is 1718 and, in a small parish near Newcastle, Eliza Tally, a headstrong girl of 15, embarks on a reckless love affair that will prove her undoing. From the highly-acclaimed author of "The Great Stink" comes a gloriously-written tale of consuming passions and obsessions. There she takes up a position in the house of an apothecary, Grayson Black, whom she trusts to salvage what remains of her reputation. 2008. Set against the clamour and roar of eighteenth-century London, "The Nature of Monsters" brings vividly to life a world where the line separating science and madness is dangerously blurred, and where a single life counts for little in the relentless pursuit of progress. |
