'A brilliant, authoritative, surprising, captivating introduction to human genetics. You'll be spellbound' Brian Cox This is a story about you. It is the history of who you are and how you came to be. It is unique to you, as it is to each of the 100 billion modern humans who have ever drawn breath.

In this captivating journey through the expanding landscape of genetics, Adam Rutherford reveals what our genes now tell us about human history, and what history can now tell us about our genes. From Neanderthals to murder, from redheads to race, dead kings to plague, evolution to epigenetics, this is a demystifying and illuminating new portrait of who we are and how we came to be. *** 'A thoroughly entertaining history of Homo sapiens and its DNA in a manner that displays popular science writing at its best' Observer 'Magisterial, informative and delightful' Peter Frankopan 'An extraordinary adventure...From the Neanderthals to the Vikings, from the Queen of Sheba to Richard III, Rutherford goes in search of our ancestors, tracing the genetic clues deep into the past' Alice Roberts

Román Stephanie Cliffordové, novinářky New York Times, nám s fascinujícími detaily umožňuje nahlédnout do „zlaté klece” mladých newyorských finančníků a bankovních makléřů, kteří se díky kapitálu svých rodičů, elitním školám a konexím vezou na vlně spekulativních báječných zisků – v době, kdy jen škarohlídi rozpoznávají příznaky krize, jež zanedlouho zasáhne celou Ameriku. Hrdinka Evelína pochází ze skromnějších poměrů, ale díky své ambiciózní matce absolvovala elitní školu a nyní využije všech prostředků, aby pronikla do oslnivého života, který dosud sledovala jenom zpovzdálí. Řečeno s Hemingwayem je oslněna romantickou bázní ze superbohatých, a tak napodobuje snobská tekutá pravidla, slangové výrazy a manýry „aristokratických starých peněz”. Jenomže kam až dosahuje magická hypnotizující moc muzikálových příběhů? Evelína se musí v mnohém zapřít – co se jí ale ukáže, jestli projde zrcadlem a ohlédne se?
