That publisher, David Cade Miller, released this book after Morgan's death, presumably at the hands of the Masons. Because of the notoriety of the previous events, The Mysteries of Free Masonry Containing All the Degrees of the Order Conferred in a Master's Lodge became an instant best seller and an American classic.

In a world of elves and dwarves and sprites and mages, Tane Carver is a human with no gift but his wits. Which, to be fair, did get him into the world's most prestigious university of magical technology. For a while. Until his lack of magic was discovered. And then it all came crashing down. But when a student is murdered on campus behind unbreakable wards, Tane gets a second chance. Solving an impossible crime should be easy for the man who fooled the university's best mages for years. Except he's not counting on the head constable being an old flame who isn't so fond of him anymore.

"All'ombra delle fanciulle in fiore" è il secondo volume di "Alla ricerca del tempo perduto" (la 'Recherche'), l'opera più importante di Marcel Proust, scritta tra il 1909 e il 1922, pubblicata in sette volumi tra il 1913 e il 1927. Questo volume contiene due parti: 'Intorno a M.me Swann' e 'Nomi di paesi: il paese'. Nella prima parte l'autore racconta delle conoscenze da lui fatte tra Combray e Parigi, di cui le più importanti sono quella con il marchese Norpois, lo scrittore Bergotte, suo 'idolo' letterario, e la sua attrice preferita, la Berma.

Premio Goncourt nel 1919, il secondo volume della Recherche è forse il più amato da critica e lettori. Libro marino, composto di luce, in cui la penna di Proust si fa pennello, e acquerelli appena abbozzati si susseguono a grandi tele impressioniste. Il libro più amato, dicevamo, anche perché qui le spume di una luminosa costa normanna invadono le pagine di giovinezza.
