About this product

Product Information

Quicksilver is the story of Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and conflicted Puritan, pursuing knowledge in the company of the greatest minds of Baroque-era Europe, in a chaotic world where reason wars with the bloody ambitions of the mighty, and where catastrophe, natural or otherwise, can alter the political landscape overnight. It is a chronicle of the breathtaking exploits of "Half-Cocked Jack" Shaftoe -- London street urchin turned swashbuckling adventurer and legendary King of the Vagabonds -- risking life and limb for fortune and love while slowly maddening from the pox. And it is the tale of Eliza, rescued by Jack from a Turkish harem to become spy, confidante, and pawn of royals in order to reinvent Europe through the newborn power of finance. A gloriously rich, entertaining, and endlessly inventive novel that brings a remarkable age and its momentous events to vivid life, Quicksilver is an extraordinary achievement from one of the most original and important literary talents of our time. And it's just the beginning ...

    An exhausting, exhilirating book.

    This vast, multi-tiered historical novel not only covers it's period with exhaustive detail, it connects the intellectual and scientific currents of the time with the modern age. I am continuously amazed and exhausted by the wealth of detail that Neal Stephenson is able to pack in the most routine incidents that occur to the characters in the book. This book cannot be described as a page turner because the reader will be continuing to read and re-read pages and passages over and over to savor the essence of the writing. And that is the highest praise that I can give to any book.
