Produktbeschreibung
February, 1901: Jan Cichy, a Polish inventor, sets out from Snowshill, England on a latitudinal circumnavigation of the globe. A few weeks later, disheveled and on the brink of insanity, he returns to London, but quickly departs for the European continent. Months pass, and Prof. Michal Nowak, Cichy's friend, receives a package from Oman. Inside the parcel are several bone fragments, a small bag of sand, and an exhaustive manuscript outlining what had happened to Cichy during his voyage. Jan Cichy is never seen or heard from again. His text sits unread at the Jagiellonian University Library in Poland, but disappears during the horrific turmoil of World War II. Decades later, the manuscript resurfaces at a secret home of a high-ranking Nazi officer. Along with hundreds of texts, works of art, and national treasures, Jan Cichy's manuscript returns to Poland from Germany. This is the first and only English translation of Jan Cichy's chilling, The Eye of Eyes.
