Historically founded on a sixteenth century alchemist ́s elixir of long life (and the basis for the French liqueur), CHARTREUSE is a story of supernatural transformation; of the elixir ́s ingredients on which a Pope ́s life rests; of a young man ́s destiny and the chain of world events that lead to his final, wrenching choice. The central character, Blaise, is summoned to Switzerland once he learns he has inherited a parchment containing the recipe for nothing less than the elixir of life. He ́s directed to a distiller in the French countryside—a Carthusian monk at La Grande Chartreuse—for he alone knows how "to execute the formula to the greater glory of God and humanity." At the same time, someone wants the Pope dead and has infected him with a fatal disease. So the race is on: to save the Pope; to see which woman will accompany Blaise during his travails—his current lover, or a flame from his past; to discover if the culprit can keep the elixir from reaching the Vatican. CHARTREUSE is fast-paced without being frantic. And yet, in the drawing power of the plot ́s twists and turns, so much more than a plot goes on: a romance, a thriller, a source book of homeopathy, miraculous events, a spiritual journey. It ́s a search for a cure; a search for a moral code; a search for identity. With CHARTREUSE, Joseph Roccasalvo has written a novel about the sacred and the profane—a contemporary symbol of our 21st century lives.

Grounded in archival sources, this interdisciplinary study explores the profound historical significance of the mausoleum of the Valois Dukes of Burgundy - the Chartreuse de Champmol. Although the monument is well known as the site of pivotal works of art by Claus Sluter, Melchior Broederlam, Jean de Beaumetz and others, until now art historians have not considered how these works functioned at the center of a complex social matrix. Sherry Lindquist here considers the sacred subjects of the various sculptures and paintings not merely as devotional tools or theological statements, but as profoundly influential social instruments that negotiated complex interactions of power. Lindquist's sophisticated discussion coordinates analysis of primary sources with the most up-to-date scholarship in the field of art history, not only with respect to late medieval Burgundian art, but also to more theoretical questions pertaining to reception.
