The discovery of witches
Deborah Harkness
Suma de Letras
ISBN 9788483652190 In the heart of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, a passionate historian Diana Bishop is in the midst of his research with a manuscript identified as Ashmole 782. Descended from a long line of witches, Diana sensed that the manuscript is in some way with magic, but she wants nothing to do with witchcraft. And after taking some notes on its curious drawings, it returns without losing more time on the shelf where you found it.
What Diana does not know is that it is an alchemical manuscript that has been lost for centuries and whose discovery has unleashed hordes of daemons, vampires and witches come to light in the reading rooms of the Library .
One of these creatures is Matthew Clairmont, a geneticist mysterious lover of good wine and ancient vampire, whose alliance with Diana will become gradually more intimate and gradually emerge between
a relationship that will shake the long-established taboos in a secret world and delighted.
Deborah Harkness is Professor of History at the University of Southern California, USA. She has received Fulbright, Guggenheim and National Humanities Center, and its newest academic publishing The Jewel House: Elizabethan London and the Scientific Revolution.
