Описание: An utterly transporting and original historical novel about an eighteenth-century experiment in personal isolation that yields unexpected--and deeply, shatteringly human--results.

"The best kind of historical fiction. Alix Nathan is an original, with a virtuoso touch."
--Hilary Mantel

Herbert Powyss lives in a large estate in the Welsh Marches, with enough time and income to pursue a gentleman's fashionable investigations and experiments in botany. But he longs to make his mark in the field of behavioral sciences--something consequential enough to present to the Royal Society in London. He hits on a radical experiment in isolation: For seven years a subject will inhabit three rooms in the basement of the manor house, fitted out with books, paintings, tapestries and even a chamber organ. Healthy meals will arrive thrice daily via a dumbwaiter. The solitude will be totally unrelieved by any social contact whatsoever; the subject will keep a diary of his daily thoughts and actions. The pay: fifty pounds per annum, for life.
Only one man is desperate to apply for the job: John Warlow, a semi-literate laborer with a wife and six children to provide for. The experiment, a classic Enlightenment exercise gone more than a little mad, will have unforeseen consequences for all included.

Описание: From Hatred, Love. From Many, One."Deeply thoughtful and exciting, warping the expectations of the genre...reminds me of Dan Simmons' Hyperion" -San Francisco Book Review

A love story and scifi epic about the beautiful and terrible destiny of profoundly star-crossed lovers with a galaxy's fate in their hands. Speculative fiction with time travel, metaphysical mysteries, action, adventure, cosmology, cybernetics, religion, and romance.

• "A work of literary fiction that transcends its genre. Read this novel. Immediately." -Portland Book Review
• "Stebbins's trilogy remains both fascinating and unpredictable. WRITER possesses all of the style, elegance, and tension that made READER gripping. Those who loved the first book will find themselves enraptured by the second, which secures a ready audience for what will surely be a stunning conclusion." -Foreword Reviews
• "Anticipate trips through time and space, wrenching separations and confrontations that will test the lovers' bond to each other and to their world...be prepared for another epic story that turns on a dime and leaves its ending open for yet more added attractions later." -Midwest Book Review
