{"product_id":"a-manobra-do-rei-dos-elfos","title":"The Elven King's Maneuver","description":"The blend of reality and fiction is a hallmark of journalist Robert Löhr's work. A revelation in contemporary German literature, he won over audiences and critics—both in Europe and here—with his debut novel, The Chess Machine. A real invention, the contraption enchanted the court of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria and Hungary and even earned a text by the master of suspense and horror, Edgar Allan Poe. In his new novel, The Elven King's Maneuver, he creates a historical-literary thriller that combines adventure, wit, and some of Germany's most important intellectuals. In this exquisite reconstruction of one of the most turbulent periods in European history, replete with rich real-life events, memorable characters are presented in a fictional light, while maintaining their status as \"real,\" existing characters. Writer Goethe, playwright Schiller, and naturalist Humboldt embark on a secret mission that will earn them the acclaim of their contemporaries and a place in posterity: to rescue the heir to the French throne, the legitimate son of Louis XVI, from Napoleon's siege. The task, however, proves more difficult than expected. Bonapartists, monarchists, and romantics stand in their way, and the journey becomes a deadly chase across Germany to the depths of Kyffhäuser Mountain. Starring writers and scientists, rich in memorable reflections on Romanticism in Europe, The Elven King's Maneuver manages, in a fun and unusual way, to weave together historical and cultural references. A swashbuckling adventure that confirms Robert Löhr as one of today's most promising authors.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175453540604,"sku":"9788501084835","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/products\/a-manobra-do-rei-dos-elfos","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
