Información de la editorial

As the scientist D'Alembert nears the end of his life, he looks back on his friendships with Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Denis Diderot and mourns his unrequited love for a woman who spent years deceiving him. At the same time, an exiled Jacobite dreams of journeying to the planets, and in a prison cell two unlikely captives discuss love, language, and fate. Meticulously crafted, "D'Alembert's Principle" is a fascinating historical triptych about memory, reason, and imagination set in the rich and lavish world of eighteenth-century Europe.

Primera línea

A woman, her face covered against cold and shame, hurries through the dark streets of Paris on a November night in 1717.
