The age of belief and superstition is passing. A new light dawns. In Paris, revolution threatens to set the world ablaze.\nBut whose hand stokes the fire?\nAcross the sea in England, Thomas Peach lives in quiet retirement. Some call him a magician, others a madman. But when his friend the poetess Arabella Farthingay falls prey to a sinister seducer, Mr Peach's fading powers are called on once more.\nHe follows her to France - and into a world where reason contends with terror, brotherhood with bloodshed, and the last remnants of faith with the oldest enemy of them all...\nPraise for Jas Treadwell:\n'Treadwell's book is a magnificent pastiche of 18th-century fiction'\nThe Sunday Times\n'Tristram Shandy meets Jonathan Strange \u0026amp; Mr Norrell in a novel that addresses dark disturbing themes with tremendous wit, charm and elegance'\nDaily Express\n'Part historical pastiche, part gothic horror, this is an ambitious and stylistically bold 18th-century adventure with shades of Jonathan Strange \u0026amp; Mr Norrell'\nSFX\n'Treadwell's book entertains and impresses . . . He must be heartily congratulated both for performing an extraordinary feat of literary ventriloquism and also for reminding us what historical fiction does best: create an entirely convincing vanished world while also using that world as a lens through which to view the present day'\nGuardian","brand":"Hodder \u0026 Stoughton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50098381816096,"sku":"9781529347371","price":18.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781529347371.jpg?v=1780696561","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-fire-beneath-the-world-james-treadwell-9781529347371","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
