Info su questo ebook

Un grande thriller di Roberto Masello

Uno specchio che rende immortali. Una ghirlanda che rende invisibili. Un manoscritto perduto. La Storia come non l'avete mai letta.

Firenze, prima metà del Cinquecento. È una notte di luna piena e la città è avvolta nel silenzio. Benvenuto Cellini sta invocando gli spiriti affinché gli rivelino il modo per conquistare l’immortalità, quando all’improvviso il fantasma di Dante Alighieri gli appare in una visione.
Quattro secoli più tardi, a Chicago, David Franco, un giovane e brillante studioso della Newberry Library, incontra una donna misteriosa, la ricca vedova Kathryn Van Owen, che gli consegna un antico manoscritto che sembra appartenere proprio a Benvenuto Cellini. Nell’opera, intitolata La chiave alla vita eterna, il noto artista fiorentino, appassionato di arti occulte, descrive dettagliatamente una sua sconosciuta creazione, La Medusa: uno specchio d’argento che ha il potere di rendere immortali. La signora Van Owen è convinta che l’amuleto esista davvero e incarica David di trovarlo in cambio di una ricompensa di un milione di dollari… Quel che David ignora però è che altri studiosi, prima di lui, hanno miseramente fallito nell’impresa e che l’ultimo è morto in circostanze poco chiare. Gli indizi che possiede lo conducono prima a Firenze, poi in Francia, ma a ogni nuovo passo lo studioso sente che qualcuno vuole impedirgli di portare a termine la sua missione.
Grazie all’aiuto di un’affascinante guida turistica e alle estenuanti ricerche tra volumi dimenticati e antiche biblioteche, David si renderà conto che la ricerca dell’amuleto nasconde un segreto sconvolgente e che l’unico modo per uscirne vivi è non voltarsi mai indietro…

Una corsa contro il tempo attraverso secoli e continenti. Dagli archivi americani alle corti rinascimentali, dai bastioni della rivoluzione francese alle oscure trame del partito nazista. Chi possiede la formula segreta?

    I actually enjoyed this book and it brought me back to a genre that I used to read voraciously, but haven't done so for a while. It did remind me of the Da Vinci Code in that it combined history, mystery, a connection to the present day, and action. But, this book did have its own personality and allure for me. In this book, David Franco, a renaissance scholar at the Newberry Library in Chicago was approached by a wealthy patron to find and return the Medusa Amulet and another artifact. Franco discovers that not only would his discovery of this artifact do wonderful things for his career, but its supposed powers could possibly help his sister who is dying from cancer. Along his journey, Franco travels to Florence and then on to Paris. Along the way, he (of course) meets a beautiful, smart woman who is able to help him with the necessary research to find the Amulet, which she knows all about and has her own agenda as well. They, of course, find attraction with one another as well. Not only is their journey full of action and adventure, but there is a lot of historical might to create a well rounded story. I enjoyed the flashbacks and the historical story of Cellini (the creator of the Amulet) and his relationship with Caterina. To me, that was a much more interesting relationship than the one between Franco and Olivia. I wish there had been more depth for the Franco/Olivia relationship, but I guess there can only be so much depth when they two just met. The ending (I won't spoil it for you) was just a bit too tidy and I had a couple of questions regarding the who and why, but over all the story was a good read. There was a lot of historical information as well as action and adventure and a little romance thrown in as well.

    Well written and well-paced, but the plot depends on a mcguffin that only the avid fan of the supernatural will buy into. The good end happily and the bad end badly as Lady Bracknell nearly said!

    This book was an excellent mixture of history, suspense and the supernatural with a small bit of romance thrown in. The characters were all well-drawn and fascinating. The exciting plot made the book hard to put down. I will be looking forward to reading more books by Masello and would recommend this book to those who love mystery/suspense with history and adventure.

    While a fairly well written book, the plot and subject line were simply so outlandish that it became silly, a farce, a parodyI would not recommend this to anyone.

    4/5
    I found it to be interesting reading,...history, adventure, mysticism...even a little romance... but sometimes it was a real challenge as it went on and on. If it hadn't been that I was reading it as a group read I honestly may have skipped parts of it. It will be essential that the reader be able to suspend their disbelief as well as historical reality.
