Description:"Just when you think there's nothing new to be done with the novel, along comes a book that pushes the form in a fresh direction."—John Harding, author of Florence and Giles"[Karlinsky] weaves together the actual and the imaginary with consummate skill. Knowing that it is a fiction makes me want it even more to be true."— The ScotsmanWhile carrying out historical investigations at the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, a psychiatrist makes an unusual discovery. Among the unsolicited self-nominations in the museum's "Crackpot" file, there are eight letters addressed to Mr. Ragnar Solman, executor of Alfred Nobel's will. Remarkably, each is crafted by a different Nobel laureate—including Rudyard Kipling and Marie Curie—and each is an explanation of why and how Stonehenge was constructed. Diligent research eventually uncovers that Alfred Nobel, intrigued by a young woman's obsession with the mysterious landmark, added a secret codicil to his will, "a prize—reserved exclusively for Nobel laureates—was to be awarded to the person who solves the mystery of Stonehenge."Weaving together a wealth of primary documents—photos, letters, wills—The Stonehenge Letters acts as an archive of a fascinating secret competition, complete with strange but illuminating submissions and a contentious prize-awarding process.Harry Karlinsky is a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of British Columbia. His first novel, The Evolution of Inanimate Objects (HarperCollins UK), was longlisted for the Wellcome Trust Book Prize.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
