<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The transformation of Desiderio's city into a mysterious kingdom is instantaneous: Hallucination flows with magical speed in every brain; avenues and plazas are suddenly as fertile as fairy-book forests. And the evil comes, too, as imaginary massacres fill the streets with blood, the dead return to question the living, and profound anxiety drives hundreds to suicide.<p>Behind it all stands Doctor Hoffman, whose gigantic generators crack the immutable surfaces of time and space and plunge civilization into a world without the chains - or structures - of reason. Only Desiderio, immune to mirages and fantasy, can defeat him. But Desiderio's battle will take him to the very brink of undeniable, irresistible desire.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Angela Carter may well be the best British writer of her generation.<br> --<b>Mirabella</b><p>Combines exquisite craft win an apparently boundless reach.<br> --Ian McEwan</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Angela Carter</b> (1940 -1992) wrote nine novels and numerous short stories, as well as nonfiction, radio plays, and the screenplay for <b>Neil Jordan's</b> 1984 movie <b>The Company of Wolves</b>, based on her story.
