Dopo il fallimento del suo matrimonio, Kate Granger si reca nella casa dei genitori sulle sponde del lago Hořejší per riprendersi. Poco dopo, scopre nel fondale del lago il corpo di una donna assassinata. Tra le pieghe di un abito stranamente antiquato indossato dalla vittima, Kate trova un neonato avvolto, freddo e tranquillo come la madre. L'identità della donna è sconosciuta, tranne che a Kate, che l'ha già vista nei suoi sogni. Un secolo prima, una storia d'amore si era conclusa in una tragedia mai risolta. È giunto il momento che il lago riveli i suoi segreti. Man mano che i misteri emergono, Kate si immerge sempre più in una terribile leggenda tramandata di generazione in generazione. Ora spetta a Kate chiarire e rimediare agli orribili errori commessi in un passato lontano…

In this original work of political philosophy, a leading feminist theorist challenges contemporary societal norms by questioning the traditional interpretation of the social contract as articulated by Locke, Hobbes, and Rousseau, and later by the Founding Fathers in the U.S. The author reveals that the narrative of the original contract, which underpins modern patriarchy, is incomplete. The sexual contract is often overlooked, leading to a disregard for men's patriarchal rights over women. The exclusion of women from the original contract raises significant issues when they are later included in the new contractual order. A key focus is on those who attempt to adapt contractarian theory for progressive purposes, arguing that this is fundamentally flawed. Feminists seeking a more equitable contract between equal partners or without coercion are misled, as the author asserts that "universal freedom is always a hypothesis, a story, a political fiction." The book also critiques mainstream political theorists and critics of contract theory. By examining contracts in everyday life—such as marriage, employment, prostitution, and surrogacy—the author employs a feminist lens to illuminate the contradictions surrounding women and contracts, ultimately addressing deeper political issues of freedom and subordination.

People are emotionally drawn to the supernatural. They actively want weird, spooky things to be true ...Wiseman shows us a higher joy as he deftly skewers the paranormal charlatans, blows away the psychic fog and lets in the clear light of reason. (Richard Dawkins, Professor). Richard Wiseman is clear about one thing: paranormal phenomena don't exist. But in the same way that the science of space travel transforms our everyday lives, so research into telepathy, fortune-telling and out-of-body experiences produces remarkable insights into our brains, behaviour and beliefs. Paranormality embarks on a wild ghost chase into this new science of the supernatural and is packed with activities that allow you to experience the impossible.
