The College of St. John and Holy Ghost, dormant and subdued by its
academic life, is revolutionized by the return of the brilliant and
evil Professor Parlabane and by the complicated inheritance the
university has just received from Arthur Cornish, one of the most
important Canadian art collectors of the twentieth century. The
suspicions among the executors of Cornish's will--professors
Hollier, McVarnish and Darcourt--reach a boiling point when an
unedited Rabelais manuscript is discovered among the objects in the
will, and the greed brought about by the coveted manuscript will
reveal each of the novel's characters' true colors. With this tale
of intrigue, Davies takes us on a tour of academic life, arts
patronage, alchemy, collectorship, and the gypsy tradition.
Although it can be read independently, this novel is the first
installment of The Cornish Trilogy. "La Universidad de San Juan y
el Espiritu Santo, adormecida en su absorbente vida academica, se
revoluciona con el regreso del brillante y malvado profesor
Parlabane y con el complicado legado que la universidad acaba de
recibir de Arthur Cornish, uno de los mas importantes
coleccionistas de arte canadienses del siglo XX. Las suspicacias
entre los albaceas del testamento de Cornish--los profesores
Hollier, McVarish y Darcourt--se acrecientan al descubrir entre los
objetos del legado un manuscrito inedito de Rabelais. La codicia
que va a desatar el preciado manuscrito revelara el verdadero
caracter de cada uno de los personajes de la novela. Con esta
historia de intriga Davies nos pasea por la vida academica, el
mecenazgo, la alquimia, el coleccionismo, y la tradicion gitana.
Aunque puede ser leida independientemente, esta novela es el primer
libro de la Trilogia de Cornish."
