Summary
Primera entrega de la trilogía «El descubrimiento de las brujas».
En el corazón de la Biblioteca Bodleiana de Oxford, la apasionada historiadora Diana Bishop se topa en medio de sus investigaciones con el manuscrito identificado como Ashmole 782.
Descendiente de un antiguo linaje de brujas, Diana intuye que el manuscrito está relacionado de alguna manera con la magia, pero no quiere tener nada que ver con la brujería. Y después de tomar algunas notas sobre sus curiosos dibujos, lo devuelve sin perder más tiempo a las estanterías. <p style"text-align:center">Lo que Diana no sabe es que se trata de un manuscrito alquímico que ha estado perdido durante siglos y cuyo descubrimiento ha desencadenado que hordas de daimones, vampiros y brujas salgan a la luz de las salas de lectura de la Biblioteca.
Una de esas criaturas es Matthew Clairmont, un enigmático genetista, amante del buen vino y vampiro milenario, cuya alianza con Diana se hará progresivamente más íntima y poco a poco surgirá entre ambos una relación que hará tambalear los tabúes asentados desde hace tiempo en un mundo secreto y encantado.
La teoría de la evolución de Darwin no contempló todos los seres que habitan la Tierra, pero Deborah Harkness lo ha hecho en esta emocionante e ingeniosa novela. Desde Oxford a Nueva York, y de aquí a Francia, la magia, la alquimia y la ciencia nos desvelan sus verdaderos vínculos en el libro definitivo sobre la brujería y sus poderes.Reseña:
«Una original fantasía con toda la magia de Harry Potter o Crepúsculo... Un irresistible cuento de brujería, ciencia y amor prohibido.»

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Book one of the New York Times– bestselling All Souls Trilogy—"a wonderfully imaginative grown-up fantasy with all the magic of Harry Potter and Twilight" (People)
Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.
Harkness has created a universe to rival those of Anne Rice, Diana Gabaldon, and Elizabeth Kostova, and she adds a scholar's depth to this riveting tale of magic and suspense. The story continues in book two, La sombra de la noche / Shadow of Night, and concludes with El libro de la vida / The Book of Life.
