In the course of a career filled with violence and passion, Claude learns the arts of enameling and watchmaking from an irascible, defrocked abbé, apprentices himself to a pornographic bookseller, and applies his erotic erudition to the seduction of the wife of an impotent wigmaker. But it is Claude's greatest device-a talking mechanical head-that both crowns his career and leads to an execution as tragic as that of Marie Antoinette, and far more bizarre. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHailed by critics for the shimmering brilliance of its inventions and its uncanny fidelity to the textures of the past, \u003cem\u003eA Case of Curiosities\u003c\/em\u003e places \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAllen Kurzweil securely in the ranks of the finest literary artists of our time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 384\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98 x 8.16 x 5.28 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 14, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52519367541043,"sku":"9780156012898","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/UXJDelp1WFFEaUNvTVdhSWM5UTZhZz09.webp?v=1760496790","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/a-case-of-curiosities-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
