Milano: Quintoelemento Editore 2013. Milano 2013; br. pp. 275 cm 13x18. Arco Giallo. La trama del racconto disegnata sulle intricate vicende di una prestigiosa e benestante famiglia ci svela che dietro la quieta apparenza del vivere quotidiano si celano sentimenti passioni e conflitti profondi. Il protagonista Balthazar Claes folgorato da un'antica passione per la scienza gi� coltivata in giovent� come discepolo di Lavoisier allestisce un laboratorio nel solaio di casa nel quale giorno dopo giorno assistito dal suo fedele domestico Lemulquinier viene sempre pi� assorbito dai costosissimi esperimenti alla ricerca dell'assoluto. Nonostante la figura centrale sia maschile il ruolo determinante � svolto ancora una volta dalle figure femminili profili umani delicati e raffinati che con responsabilit� dedizione ed infinito amore riescono a mantenere unita questa tormentata famiglia facendole superare i momenti pi� difficili. Il contesto in cui si svolge l'intera vicenda descritto con ricchezza di dettagli ci offre un'accurata e particolare visione della societ� francese di questo periodo storico.
