Item Description
A noted scholar of the Renaissance and the history of science, Deborah Harkness is also a reknown novelist. A Discovery of Witches is the first volume of the best-selling All Souls Trilogy, a world-wide success translated into thirty-six languages: When historian Diana Bishop opens a bewitched alchemical manuscript in Oxford’s Bodleian Library it represents an unwelcome intrusion of magic into her carefully ordinary life. Though descended from a long line of witches, she is determined to remain untouched by her family’s legacy. She banishes the manuscript to the stacks, but Diana finds it impossible to hold the world of magic at bay any longer.
This book brings that magic straight into the reader's world. Fans of The Name of the Rose or The Da Vinci Code will love Harkness' fascinating history of France and England, as well as the breath-taking time-travel to the Renaissance and back.
Along with this book, the reader will receive a signed copy of the Commonplace Book, a book within the book, written by main character Diana Bishop during her trip to the Renaissance, accompanied by three collectible buttons evoking the book.
