Beguiled and weary, he allows himself to be led through a quirky little shop through which lies a vast and hidden land where her family rule in ornate splendour, where his revolver is a marvel and his motives are questioned. Confusion and wonder abound as Cherenkov and his seductress embark on a pilgrimage in a small sailing boat across sargasso seas, in search of the Old Man who dwells on a floating island where time follows its own rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCherenkov returns to the outside world, only to discover how badly he has come adrift in time: money is carried within plastic cards and information comes from a screen. Bereft, he is drawn back to voyage on the hidden sea, and to seek the mystery that lies at its centre which may be the only thing that can give him the answers he craves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ricardo Pinto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910935883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910935880\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Newcon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.23d","brand":"Ricardo Pinto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983774187775,"sku":"9781910935880","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1cbc27b-5bca-4739-a9bc-81979fb7fdb9.jpg?v=1683268637","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/matryoshka-ricardo-pinto-9781910935880","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
