Sobre este artículo
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1991. Deluxe Advance Reading Copy . Softcover. Very Good. 8vo (358 pages). A very elaborately designed advance reading copy for booksellers of Kurzweil’s first novel. In mint condition, wrapped in a custom card container with a ribboned seal enclosure that is unopened. A letter of praise from Simon Schama is reproduced by the publisher and inserted. Quite a package.
Sinopsis
In France, on the eve of the Revolution, a young man named Claude Page sets out to become the most ingenious and daring inventor of his time. In the course of a career filled with violence and passion, Claude learns the arts of enameling and watchmaking from an irascible, defrocked abbé, apprentices himself to a pornographic bookseller, and applies his erotic erudition to the seduction of the wife of an impotent wigmaker. But it is Claude's greatest device-a talking mechanical head-that both crowns his career and leads to an execution as tragic as that of Marie Antoinette, and far more bizarre. Hailed by critics for the shimmering brilliance of its inventions and its uncanny fidelity to the textures of the past, A Case of Curiosities places Allen Kurzweil securely in the ranks of the finest literary artists of our time.
