David K. Lewis

    28 september 1941 – 14 oktober 2001

    David Kellogg Lewis was een invloedrijke 20e-eeuwse filosoof wiens werk een diepgaande invloed had op de filosofie van taal, geest, metafysica, epistemologie en logica. Hij staat misschien wel het meest bekend om zijn controversiële stelling van het modale realisme: het idee dat er oneindig veel parallelle universums bestaan, elk concreet en causaal geïsoleerd, waarvan het onze er slechts één is. Deze universums dienen als mogelijke werelden bij de analyse van noodzakelijkheid en mogelijkheid. Lewis' nalatenschap ligt in zijn originele denken en zijn diepgaande verkenning van de aard van de werkelijkheid.

      James Bond meets Maisie Dobbs in this riveting new historical caper series featuring a gifted young socialist-turned-counterespionage spy on a World War II mission orchestrated by Winston Churchill himself… 1940: Weeks after the evacuation of Dunkirk, Germany is poised to invade a near-defenseless Britain. To safeguard the Crown Jewels from the Nazis, Winston Churchill devises a daring gamble to have them shipped overseas. The priceless artifacts will be secretly removed from the Tower of London and driven north to Scotland by two operatives posing as a young married couple, to be taken from there to Canada. Caitrin Colline—a Welsh coalminer’s daughter and an ardent socialist—will play the wife of Lord Marlton, Hector Neville-Percy. A less likely couple is at first difficult to imagine. Yet Caitrin’s bold, streetwise confidence and sharp wits complement Hector’s social ease and connections, essential to a second part of their mission: uncovering Nazi sympathizers within the highest ranks of Britain’s aristocracy. Battling enemies within and without, Caitrin wonders if anyone in their circle can be trusted—even her partner. And when unexpected events catapult her into a life-or-death chase across the continent, the morale of a nation and the fate of Europe itself in the balance.
