History leaves traces of the people - Byron, Shakespeare, Rimbaud, Leonardo - living through it, in portraits, documents and books. In "Traces Remain", Charles Nicholl, the acclaimed author of "The Reckoning", "The Lodger: Shakespeare on Silver Street" and "Leonardo da Vinci: The Flights of the Mind", transforms these glimpses through time into comic and poignant vignettes, and curious, intriguing puzzles. From a mysterious painting found in a Hereford house to the death of an alchemist, and from a new Jack the Ripper suspect to a gold hunt in El Dorado, Nicholl's twenty-five fascinating essays take in two murders, three disappearances and a missing Shakespeare play to show the marvel and tenacity of these wonderful historical traces. "Our finest literary and historical detective...Deliciously readable". ("Financial Times"). "Charles Nicholl confirms his role as literature's historic Holmes ...thoroughly captivating". ("Scotsman"). "Some writers are so good at what they do that they can take you anywhere. Charles Nicholl is one of them". ("Irish Times").
