سیستم جهان ( The System of the World)، جلد سوم و پایانی از چرخه باروک ( The Baroque Cycle ) نیل استیونسن (Quicksilver and The Confusion)، حماسه تاریخی حماسی را به پایان هیجان انگیز – و واقعاً الهام بخش – می رساند.
داستان «سیستم جهان» که در اوایل قرن هجدهم اتفاق میافتد و دارای شخصیتهای مختلفی است که شامل کیمیاگران، فیلسوفان، ریاضیدانان، جاسوسان، دزدان، دزدان دریایی و اعضای خانواده سلطنتی است. او به انگلستان بازمی گردد تا شکاف بین نوابغ سر آیزاک نیوتن و گوتفرید لایبنیتس را ترمیم کند. پس از ترک با اکره خانواده خود در بوستون، واترهاوس به انگلستان می رسد و تقریباً توسط یک دستگاه جهنمی مرموز کشته می شود. واترهاوس که به مدت دو دهه از کشور ویران شده از جنگ دور بود، به سرعت متوجه میشود که اگرچه بسیاری از چیزها تغییر کردهاند، اما هنوز انقلاب خشونتباری در زیر سطح جامعه به ظاهر متمدن در حال جوشیدن است. در حالی که ملکه آن بیمار مرگبار است و توریها و ویگها برای برتری سیاسی تلاش میکنند، واترهاوس و نیوتن عهد میکنند که بفهمند چه کسی میخواهد دانشمندان خاصی را بکشد و معمای پشت افسانه طلای پادشاه سلیمان، یک انبار اسطورهای از فلزات گرانبها با خواص معجزهآسا را رمزگشایی کند.
احتمالاً یکی از جاه طلبانه ترین – و بیشترین تحقیق – داستان هایی است که تا به حال نوشته شده است، چرخه باروک استیونسن در یکی از آشفته ترین و هیجان انگیزترین زمان های تاریخ بشر اتفاق می افتد. پر از ماجراجویی وحشیانه، دسیسه های سیاسی، تحولات اجتماعی، اکتشافات متحول کننده تمدن، عرفان کابالیستی، و حتی کمی عاشقانه، این حماسه عظیم ارزش طلای (سلیمان) را دارد.

توضیحات انگلیسی کتاب The System of the World :
The System of the World, the third and concluding volume of Neal Stephenson’s shelf-bending Baroque Cycle (Quicksilver and The Confusion), brings the epic historical saga to its thrilling – and truly awe-inspiring – conclusion.
Set in the early 18th century and featuring a diverse cast of characters that includes alchemists, philosophers, mathematicians, spies, thieves, pirates, and royalty, The System of the World follows Daniel Waterhouse, an unassuming philosopher and confidant to some of the most brilliant minds of the age, as he returns to England to try and repair the rift between geniuses Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. After reluctantly leaving his family in Boston, Waterhouse arrives in England and is almost killed by a mysterious Infernal Device. Having been away from the war-decimated country for two decades, Waterhouse quickly learns that although many things have changed, there is still violent revolution simmering just beneath the surface of seemingly civilized society. With Queen Anne deathly ill and Tories and Whigs jostling for political supremacy, Waterhouse and Newton vow to figure out who is trying to kill certain scientists and decipher the riddle behind the legend of King Solomon’s gold, a mythical hoard of precious metal with miraculous properties.
Arguably one of the most ambitious — and most researched — stories ever written, Stephenson’s Baroque Cycle is set in one of the most turbulent and exciting times in human history. Filled with wild adventure, political intrigue, social upheaval, civilization-changing discoveries, cabalistic mysticism, and even a little romance, this massive saga is worth its weight in (Solomon’s) gold.

“Daniel understood the complaint. For Daniel, too, had once designed a building, and savored the thrill of seeing it built, only to endure the long indignity of watching the owner clutter it up with knick-knacks and furniture.”

“For most of the day and night, time oppresses me. It is only when I am at work on the innards of a clock-or a lock-that time stops.”
“The clock stops, you mean.”
“No. Time stops, or so it seems. I do not sense its passage. Then something interrupts me-I become aware that my bladder is full, my mouth dry, my stomach rumbling, the fire’s gone out, and the sun’s gone down. But there before me on the table is a finished clock-” now suddenly a snicker from the mechanism, and a deft movement of his hands. “Or an opened lock.”
“This is a very odd conversation,” Dappa observed. “On an arbitrary numerical scale of conversational oddness, ranging from one to ten, with ten being the oddest conversation I’ve ever had, and seven being the oddest conversation I have in a typical day, this rates no better than five,” Daniel returned.”

“Listen to me. I did not wish to be summoned by your Princess. Summoned, I did not wish to come. But having been summoned, and having come, I mean to give a good account of myself. That’s how I was taught by my father, and the men of his age who slew Kings and swept away not merely Governments but whole Systems of Thought, like Khans of the Mind. I would have my son in Boston know of my doings, and be proud of them, and carry my ways forward to another generation on another continent. Any opponent who does not know this about me, stands at a grave disadvantage; a disadvantage I am not above profiting from.”
“He’s dead, by the way.”
“Again? I am glad to hear it.”

“The answer is, I chose to seek my fortune. Failed. Lost all. Then got a fortune I had not ever looked for. Lost it though. Got it back. Lost it. Got another – the story is somewhat repetitious.”
“Let’s to the Kit-Cat Clubb.”

“That merely glimpsing three good wooden boxes on a baggage-wain could lead to such broodings made Daniel wonder that he could get out of bed in the morning. Once, he had feared that old age would bring senility; now, he was certain it would slowly paralyze him by encumbering each tiny thing with all sorts of significations.”
“And so even if Hope was a contrived thing — a mechanism that popped up out of Pandora’s Box by dint of levers and springs — it was by no means bad.”

“That is a very odd thing to see on the Thames,” Daniel remarked. “What flag does she fly?” For van Hoek had unlimbered his prospective-glass. “The double eagle. She is a war-galley of the Russian Navy,” van Hoek said. Then, after a moment’s pause, he laughed at the absurdity of such a thing.”

“For the stuff of which we are made is just the common stuff of the world, viz. ordinary gross matter, so that a materialist might say, we are no different from rocks; and yet our matter is imbued with some organizing principle that endows us with identities, so that I may send a letter to Daniel Waterhouse in London in the full confidence that, like a smoke-ring traversing a battle-field, he has traveled a great distance, and persisted for a long time, and yet is still the same man.”

“Condemn an Englishman to hell, and he’d plant a bed of petunias and roll out a nice bowling-green on the brimstone.”
“Daniel got dressed. Much of his clothing had been blown up.”
