  • ""Héctor, un cura jesuita de nuestros días, tiene como afición descifrar las impenetrables páginas del 'Manuscrito Voynich, ' un volumen incomprensible y que se encuentra en el Departamento de Libros Raros de la Universidad de Yale. Héctor forma parte, a través de la Red, de un grupo dedicado a desentrañar los secretos de un manuscrito contemporáneo de uno de los momentos más apasionantes de la historia de la ciencia, cuando genios como Johannes Kepler o Tycho Brahe dieron pasos de gigante en la comprensión del universo. Kepler y Brahe coincidieron en la corte de Rodolfo II, emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano, aficionado a la ciencia y al esoterismo y a quien se supone mecenas del 'Manuscrito.' El hecho de que Brahe muriera en extrañas circunstancias no hizo más que aumentar la lista de sucesos misteriosos relacionados con el libro. ¿Fue Brahe asesinado por Kepler? ¿Tiene el manuscrito una interpretación esotérica o no se trata más que de un engaño? ¿Acaso es un tratado de alquimia? Será Héctor el encargado de arrojar luz sobre estas preguntas y sobre el fascinante 'Manuscrito Voynich.'"--Page 4 of cover."
