Sinopsis

"&hellip,impressive&hellip,fast-paced&hellip,The high calibre of writing, together with the thoroughly researched historical detail, make The AlchemistâÇÖs Dream a compelling read."áQuill & QuireIn the fall of 1669, the Nonsuch returns to London with a load of fur from Hudson Bay. It brings something else, too&mdash,the lost journal from Henry HudsonâÇÖs tragic search for a passage to Cathay in 1611. In the hands of a greedy sailor, the journal is merely an object to sell. But for Robert Bylot&mdash,a once-great maritime explorer&mdash,the book is a painful reminder of a past heâÇÖd rather forget. As Bylot relives his memories of a plague-ridden city, of the mysterious alchemist John Dee, and of mutiny in the frozen wastes of Hudson Bay, an age-old mystery is both revealed and solved.áA finalist for the 2007 Governor GeneralâÇÖs Literary Award, the jury said, "In this engrossing historical adventure, John Wilson paints a vivid picture of a bygone era involving Henry HudsonâÇÖs fateful search for the elusive Northwest Passage, an alchemist, mysterious passengers, and enigmatic maps. The AlchemistâÇÖs Dream fascinates from start to finish. Set against the thrilling backdrop of the quest for the Northwest Passage, The AlchemistâÇÖs Dream is a riveting tale of exploration, ambition, and betrayal."
