In 1769, the court of Empress Maria Theresa witnessed one of that era's most amazing feats of engineering: The Turk, a machine that could play chess. Artfully constructed by a Hungarian nobleman named Wolfgang von Kempelen, the chess-machine played a unique game against each opponent, far surpassing the abilities of all its fellow automata. Napoleon, Charles Babbage, and Benjamin Franklin were among its challengers, and Edgar Allen Poe wrote an essay attempting to explain how it worked. (immagine) Categoria: Books: graphic novels

When Jakob, Vögelein's Guardian of fifty years, dies quietly in his sleep one night, her life is thrown into utter turmoil. Left without someone to wind her, the tiny clockwork faerie has less than five hours to live-unless she can find someone to trust. Unable to reach the keyhole in her back, she continues to wind down until she stops-and then her memories of the past three hundred years will quickly slip away, leaving her a simple automaton unable to speak or move on her own. Vögelein must grapple with her own past, her current daily survival and a true Faerie who has taken an instant disliking to her, all so that she will not lose her memories-and her self. (immagine)
