The Historian

A brilliant literary novel as well as a breathtaking page-turner, THE HISTORIAN has already created an international frenzy. Set for publication in over 15 languages, this gripping tale is about to take the world by storm.- The most abundantly successful novels in recent years have mixed fact and fantasy, history and present, to pulse-pounding dramatic effect. THE HISTORIAN is sure to lure the same hordes of readers that snapped up the blockbuster hits

The Da Vinci Code, The Rule of Four and even the Harry Potter series.- This engrossing and expensive adventure is the culmination of 10 years of research and a lifetime of imagining--since Elizabeth Kostova's girlhood, when her father entertained her with stories of Dracula, she has envisioned the story that would become THE HISTORIAN and with her academic spirit and extraordinary talent, she's spun an intricate tale of sprawling mystery and suspense.- A blockbuster marketing and advertising plan, including a prepublication bookseller tour, a huge ad campaign and author tour, will make THE HISTORIAN the must-have summer read of 2005.
