O knihe

This exciting takes the reader across Europe and on an adventure in search of...The Recipe for Diamonds!
"You must wonder what brings me to use this world-forgotten spot as a workplace; why I come to a town where there are eight women to one man, to an island whose whole energy is not equal to that of the smallest city on the Continent. Have you heard of Raymond Lully? Yes? It was an old journal of his which I found in Rome that first gave me the embryo of my idea. I went round to Barcelona, and crossed to Palma. In the Conde de M--'s library I found in other manuscripts mention of the same thing. Beyond doubt he had made diamonds as far back as the year 1280."
Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne was a novelist perhaps best remembered for The Lost Continent: The Story of Atlantis and his Captain Kettle series which was based on a South Shields sea captain, Davey Proffit.
