Harry Dresden on volur, kes aitab Chicago Politseiametit juhtumitega, mis uletavad inimvoimete ja inimkujutlusvoime piire. Sest vahel juhtub igapaevaelus kummalisi ja maagilisi asju, mille keskel inimesel sugugi hasti ei lahe. Kui politsei Dresdeni kohutava topeltmorva puhul appi kutsub, aitab ta neid alguses raha parast, sest volurid on ju vaesed, kuid asi laheb kiiresti isiklikuks. „Minu nimi on Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Voite seda noidumiseks kasutada, kui riskite. Olen volur. Kain tool uhes kontoris Chicago kesklinnas. Enda teada olen riigi ainus avalikult praktiseeriv volur. Leiate mu telefoniraamatu kollastelt lehekulgedelt alajaotusest „Volurid”. Uskuge voi mitte, olen seal ainus. Mu reklaam naeb valja nii:HARRY DRESDEN – VOLURKadunud asjade leidmine. Paranormaalsed uuringud.Konsulteerimine. Noustamine. Moistlikud hinnad.Armujooke, tuhjaks mitte saavaid rahakotte, pidusid ega muid lobustusi ei pakuta. Te ullatuksite, kuuldes, kui paljud inimesed helistavad mulle ainult selleks, et kusida, kas motlen seda tosiselt. Aga kui oleksite nainud selliseid asju nagu mina, kui teaksite pooltki sellest, mida mina tean, siis te ei kahtleks pormugi selles, et ma motlen seda tosiselt.“

Год издания:
Bringing together a broad range of case studies written by a team of international scholars, this Concise Companion establishes how manuscripts and printed books met the needs of two different approaches to literacy in the early modern period. Features essays illustrating the particular ways a manuscript and a printed book reflect the different emphases of an elite, private and an egalitarian, public culture, both of which account for the literary achievements of the Renaissance Includes wide-ranging essays, from printing the Gospels in Arabic to a contemporary reconceptualization of Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus Increases accessibility through a rubric organized around archival and manuscript studies; the provenance of texts and the authority of editions; and studies of genre, religion and literary history Announces the recovery of archival documents, which in some instances are over four hundred years old Places translations of Milton's Latin, Greek, and Italian alongside the original texts to increase accessibility for a wide audience of students and scholars Provides an invaluable platform for highlighting on-going attention to the history of the book and its corollary subjects of reading and writing practices in the 1500s and 1600s
