Synopsis
Three brothers, born in the 18th century on the Greek island of Cephalonia, were to spread their wings and soar to impressive heights in three professions. Giambattista was a medical paragon of legendary concentration, who became the physician to Italian and French royalty; Marco, the middle son, had a chemistry laboratory in Italy that was famed throughout Europe; and Marino, after strangling a lover in Venice, fled to St. Petersburg, where he became a celebrated engineer, executing an unthinkable feat for the Queen of all Russias. This is a vivid, elegantly-written portrait of 18th-century Europe and the new scientific promise of the age.
