Время действия: конец XVIII - конец XIX веков. Место действия: Лондон и Перу, Филадельфия и Таити, Амстердам и самые отдаленные уголки Земли. Мудрый, глубокий и захватывающий роман о времени, - когда ботаника была наукой, требовавшей самопожертвования и азарта, отваги и готовности рисковать жизнью, - когда ученый был авантюристом и первооткрывателем, дельцом и романтиком, - когда люди любили не менее страстно, чем сейчас, но сдержанность считалась хорошим тоном.

Many younger people are curious to know and experience traditional and historical realities. Thus, the need for an informed and reflective restatement of The Spirit of Catholicism has never been more urgent • In this clear and intelligible book, Vivian Boland presents the substance of Catholic belief and life, what the res catholica believes itself essentially to be
