About
This unforgettable, magical novel takes for its premise an inspired bit of speculation based firmly in history: Leonardo da Vinci's conception of a marvelous flying machine. Set against the colorful backdrop of Italy and Persia in the 1400s, The Memory Cathedral masterfully calls forth a dazzling era when magic and science were one and the same.

Leonardo builds the flying machine he long dreamed of and journeys from the Renaissance West to the mythical East, where he is captured by Persians and sees his invention used for ill.

He has published nine novels, numerous shorter works of fiction, essays and poetry and his books have been translated into thirteen languages. His work, which includes fiction in the science fiction, fantasy, horror, magical realism and historical and alternative history genres, has been compared to Jorge Luis Borges, Roald Dahl, Lewis Carroll, J.G.

Dann is a multiple-award winning author whose greatest works include the international bestseller "The Memory Cathedral," which was #1 on The Age Bestseller list, and "The Silent," which Library Journal chose as one of their 'Hot Picks' and wrote: "This is narrative storytelling at its best...
