Heavenly Vision

The book is about a book collector of limited means who comes across a 1745 Atlas of the Cape of Good Hope in a second-hand bookshop in Amsterdam. Once his historian friend examines the manuscript found inside, he becomes very excited and life for Jan Glas is never the same again."Allart Vroom climbed down from the ship, and we stood ready to catch him," wrote Captain Adriaen Kalf. "His clothes, his flesh, his bones pulverized in our hands. He formed a small heap of powder at our feet. Please, believe me-it is not, like someone suggested, the contents of broken hourglasses."
