The Coral Thief

Historischer Roman von Rebecca Stott

It’s a hot August night in 1815, a few weeks after Napoleon’s surrender to the Allied Forces at Waterloo. Daniel Connor, a brilliant and ambitious student from Edinburgh Medical School, is travelling to Paris by mail coach carrying rare historical specimens and letters of introduction to the illustrious Professor Cuvier at the Jardin des Plantes, a botanical and zoological garden on the banks of the Seine. In the coach he encounters a strikingly tall dark-haired woman with heretical ideas about transmutation and the theory of evolution.

Rebecca Stott (geboren 24. September 1964 in Cambridge) ist eine britische Literaturwissenschaftlerin und Schriftstellerin, sowohl von Sachbüchern, als auch Romanen. “I loved how Rebecca Stott wove a wonderful story out of the strands of what was really going on the biological sciences just before Darwin. I was compelled to read this after I read two of her nonfiction books, Darwin and the Barnacle and Darwin’s Ghosts.” (Leser) (42 Rezensionen / 4,2 Sterne), 306 Seiten noch günstig?
