- he is determined to go. & Itzhak & Jimmy go with him. Inspired by real events, this is the story of three friends, & a tragedy that will change them for ever.

Foul & dangerous though it was to inhabit, in these decades London developed a new confidence in the intellectual purpose & lucrative promise of art, technology & science. This book is about the men & women who, through their genius & courage, luck & misfortune, anger & charm, put London at the cutting edge of cultural change. Theirs were the minds that moved the city that shook the world. They worked in basements & drawing rooms, in studios & museums, in learned societies & in the squalor of the debtors` prison.
