Synopsis

THE TRACER OF LOST PERSONS“Keen & Co. are prepared to locate the whereabouts of anybody on earth. No charges will be made unless the person searched for is found…”But what if you are looking for someone who doesn’t exist? Say, the perfect woman of your dreams. Or what if you are looking for someone who has been dead for centuries? … an Egyptian princess who lies in suspended animation. Or perhaps you are a famous artist who has been rendering the “ideal” woman for so long that you have now fallen in love with your own epitome of beauty. Can Westrel Keen, the Tracer of Lost Persons, find that ideal…? THE TREE OF HEAVEN“There was nothing particularly remarkable about the dinner; it was the usual excellent affair one might expect; the wines perfect, the service flawless…”The host has studied in the ways of the Eastern adept. Now, with his friends about him, he begins to predict their futures. One man will “uproot a Tree of Dreams but not the dream,” and one has a good-natured ghost following him about. One of them, a doctor, is about to learn a stranger truth than is locked up among the molecules in his laboratory, while the young officer is destined to anchor “in the Port of the Golden Pool.” They may not understand these predictions, but each of their fates await them …

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Robert William Chambers was born on May 26, 1865 in Brooklyn to a very well-to-do family. Educated at Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute, he left for Paris in 1886 to study art at the Ecole des Beaux Arts and the Académie Julian, and wrote a novel called In the Quarter. Returning to New York, he turned his back on his art background and started writing novels and stories, the most remarkable of which is the supernatural classic, The King in Yellow. Chambers followed this with a plethora of historical and society novels and became a very successful author in his time, producing many bestsellers. On July 12, 1898, he married Elsa Vaughn Moller, and they had a son, Robert Edward Stuart Chambers. Following abdominal surgery, Chambers died on December 16, 1933.
