Cıva - Barok Döngüsü 3Lemesi

Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle trilogy begins with Quicksilver, presenting the political and religious intrigues of 17th and early 18th century Europe and the early stages of modern science and economics in a unique blend of adventure, science fiction and historical novel.

Quicksilver is the story of dauntless thinker and ambivalent puritan Daniel Waterhouse. He seeks knowledge alongside the greatest minds of Baroque Europe. But it is a world in turmoil, where reason battles the bloody ambitions of the powerful, and where natural or man-made disasters can transform the political landscape overnight. Of course, our heroes are not limited to Daniel Waterhouse. Meet Jack Shaftoe. First one of London's ordinary street urchins, then the king of the Vagabonds and a braggart adventurer. He causes trouble and suffers from syphilis, is abusive and immoral, but is willing to sacrifice his life and fortune for his one and only love. Eliza de la Zeur, the girl Jack rescued from a Turkish harem during the siege of Vienna. A countess who would become a spy and confidant of enemy kings and transform Europe with the nascent power of finance. Other heroes? A man named Enoch Root, who may have been immortal, arch-enemies Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, esteemed members of the Royal Society, and many more.

In 2004, Mercury won the Arthur C. Clarke Award and the Locus Award, one of the most important awards in science fiction literature.
