Quicksilver is the story of Daniel Waterhouse, fearless thinker and conflicted Puritan, pursuing knowledge in the company of the greatest minds of Baroque-era Europe, in a chaotic world where reason wars with the bloody ambitions of the mighty, and where catastrophe, natural or otherwise, can alter the political landscape overnight.

It is a chronicle of the breathtaking exploits of Half-Cocked Jack Shaftoe -- London street urchin turned swashbuckling adventurer and legendary King of the Vagabonds -- risking life and limb for fortune and love while slowly maddening from the pox.

And it is the tale of Eliza, rescued by Jack from a Turkish harem to become spy, confidante, and pawn of royals in order to reinvent Europe through the newborn power of finance.

A gloriously rich, entertaining, and endlessly inventive novel that brings a remarkable age and its momentous events to vivid life, Quicksilver is an extraordinary achievement from one of the most original and important literary talents of our time.

And it's just the beginning ...

My kitchen sink finally looks intentional
I finally upgraded my kitchen sink setup with the Havara Dish Soap Dispenser and it is such a mood. I was so tired of having a messy plastic soap bottle and a soggy sponge just sitting on the counter. This dispenser completely fixes that while looking incredibly chic. The granite resin material is high quality and has a nice weight to it, so it doesnt slide around when I am using it. It has a sleek minimalist vibe that makes the whole area look more polished and put together. I love that it is designed for one handed use because it makes washing dishes so much faster and less of a chore. You just press down with the sponge and it dispenses the perfect amount of soap every time. It is a small change but it makes my daily routine feel much more elevated. The non slip base is a great touch and the built in sponge holder keeps everything organized and dry. If you want to get rid of the kitchen clutter and give your sink a mini makeover, this is definitely the way to do it. I am really happy with how it looks and functions!

blends in with decor and is very functional
This Havara Kitchen Soap Dispenser looks great on my kitchen sink. Not only does it look good, it's also very functional. Filling the soap dispenser is very easy and straight forward. It fits my sponges well. It's a bit heavier than expected, but this allows it to stay in place easier. Overall, it's very sturdy and functional. Great value for the money.

Quality shears for a great price
Color: Black, Size: 1 Pack
These KitchenAid All Purpose Shears are exactly as described--versatile, comfortable to hold, easy to use, and very sharp, so it's good that they come with a protective sheath! The stainless steel holds up (even when I forgot to take them out of the dishwater one day), and makes them easy to clean, nothing seems to stick to them for long. They're perfect for opening just about any package without tearing it, even the double-thickness of pet food bags. The price was a great value, and even though I doubt I'll need another pair anytime soon, I definitely recommend them to everyone.

Buy Em'
Color: Black, Size: 2 Pack
Great value for the price. Straightforward, sharp, easy to clean, good quality pair of kitchen/multi-function shears. So far, I have effortlessly cut thru herbs, dog chew treats, corrugated, and plastic packaging with very little resistance. The handles are wide which allow for comfortable ambidextrous grip. The first thing you'll notice is their weight, they do not feel cheaply made.
