The Sun and Moon Corrupted

Производитель: "Portobello Books"

What if you developed a machine that generated energy for free, and no one believed you? This is the problem facing Karl Neder, a maverick physicist, now in exile from his native Hungary and shunned by the scientific establishment. But one person is determined to find out more: Lena Romanowicz, a young journalist in search of a good story but also looking for answers to questions of her own. And so she sets out on a journey that will take her from the faded imperial splendour of Vienna to the mountains of Transylvania and the blasted wastelands of the crumbling Soviet Union, following a trail that becomes ever more strange and sinister. Crackling with ideas, this is a dazzlingly entertaining novel about genius, ambition and obsession in the atomic age. Формат: 13 см x 20 см. ISBN:978 1 84627 109 0
