In early eighteenth century Lisbon, Baltasar, a soldier who has lost a hand in battle, falls in love with Blimunda, a young girl with visionary powers. From the day that he follows her home from the auto-da-fe where her mother is condemned and burned at the stake, the two are bound body and soul by a love of unassailable strength. A third party shares their supper that evening: Pardere Bartolemeu Lourenco, whose fantasy is to invent a flying machine. As the inquisition rages and royalty and religion clash, they pursue his impossible, not to mention heretical, dream of flight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32146490097730,"sku":"","price":599.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0263\/4884\/7170\/products\/9781860469015.jpg?v=1591709785","url":"https:\/\/koolskoolbookstore.com\/products\/baltasar-blimunda","provider":"KoolSkool The Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
