Here is their story as re-imagined by Thomas Pynchon, featuring Native Americans and frontier folk, ripped bodices, naval warfare, conspiracies erotic and political, and major caffeine abuse. We follow the mismatched pair--one rollicking, the other depressive; one Gothic, the other pre-Romantic--from their first journey together to the Cape of Good Hope, to pre-Revolutionary America and back, through the strange yet redemptive turns of fortune in their later lives, on a grand tour of the Enlightenment's dark hemisphere, as they observe and participate in the many opportunities for insanity presented them by the Age of Reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIBRIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61089544274250,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/4404\/2826\/files\/IMG_8190_59e9a37d-c9d7-46c6-b50e-0a6a51522232.jpg?v=1770987061","url":"https:\/\/www.libris.lt\/products\/thomas-pynchon-mason-and-dixon","provider":"LIBRIS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
