New English Paperback. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). Edition in English. 144 p. The book of devices: The incredible life histories of inventors of yore. [= Kitabü'l-hiyel]. "Ihsan Oktay Anar's 1996 novella, "The Book of Devices," is a skeleton key to the ever-inventive author's fictional world set in the Ottoman times. Here are the wonderful histories of the triumphs and tribulations of three Ottoman inventors, 'as reported by the narrators of events and relators of traditions'. By turns humorous and touching, these interlinked stories are nutshells of vividly imagined past. While we follow Yafes Chelebi and his two successors in their search for the secret of the perpetual motion, the crumbling empire undergoes drastic changes in the background and the city of their dreams, Istanbul, witnesses coup d'états, Westernizing reforms, and the advent of technological innovation. Written in a unique idiom that is both a tender mimicry and witty parody of the Ottoman bureaucratic prose, The Book of Devices is Anar at his imaginative best. One cannot help but wonder how a twenty-first-century author can dwell in the past with such ease and come back to the present, as in a Borgesian parable, with a cabinet of dreamy curiosities.".

brossura Tutto comincia nelle campagne ad est di Ronwood dove due esseri dalla pelle verdastra, conosciuti come "Goblin", uccidono la madre di Sheila, una ragazzina di soli sedici anni. Lì comincia il viaggio della ragazza e del suo amico Eliot, un po' tardo ma dal cuore grande, che spinti dalla sete di vendetta si uniranno alle guardie del re per la conquista della fortezza dei Goblin. Qui però le cose si mettono male subito, Eliot perde la vita da eroe e Sheila viene ferita gravemente. Solo l'intervento tempestivo di Garret , figlio dell'alchimista, le salverà la vita portandola al Tempio di Sall. Nel viaggio incontreranno anche Hanna seguace del Dio "Sall", il nano guerriero Godrin delle montagne del nord, poi Karl ladro di professione, la negromante Victoria, per non parlare del Paladino Gerald il Capitano delle guardie. La missione più impegnativa si dimostrerà il recupero di un artefatto molto speciale, lo Scudo della vitta. Esso si trova nei sotterranei di una cripta segreta, protetto da scheletri guerrieri, ragni giganti e trappole di ogni tipo. Decisioni sbagliate ed eventi incalcolabili porteranno ad una situazione critica, quasi disperata fino ad arrivare allo scontro finale con il male allo stato puro.
