The Magician's Land

_____________________________________ 'The Magicians is to Harry Potter as a shot of Irish whiskey is to a glass of weak tea . . . dark and dangerous and full of twists' – GEORGE R. R. MARTIN THE BESTSELLING BOOK BEHIND THE HIT SYFY SHOW _____________________________________ In a secret world of forbidden knowledge, power comes at a terrible price... Quentin Coldwater's life is changed forever by an apparently chance encounter: when he turns up for his entrance interview to Princeton University, he finds his interviewer dead – but a strange envelope bearing Quentin's name leads him down a very different path. Instead of Princeton, he finds himself invited to study at Brakebills – a secret college of modern-day sorcerers. Quentin plunges deep into a secret world of obsession and privilege, a world of freedom and power; and for a while, it seems to answer all Quentin's desires. But the idyll cannot last. There are others powers than sorcery, powers that are as seductive as they are dangerous – and when the illusion of safety shatters, Quentin is drawn into a world far darker than he ever imagined. After all, power corrupts. No exceptions. THE FIRST BOOK IN LEV GROSSMAN'S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MAGICIAN TRILOGY _____________________________________ Praise for the Magician Trilogy: 'Stirring, complex, adventurous . . . superb' – JUNOT DIAZ, author of DROWN and THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO 'A sophisticated, subtle novel that is also magical fun' – THE TIMES ‘Lev Grossman has conjured a rare creature: a trilogy that simply gets better and better as it goes along . . . Literary perfection.’ – ERIN MORGENSTERN, author of THE NIGHT CIRCUS 'The Magicians ought to be required reading . . . Lev Grossman has written a terrific, at times almost painfully perceptive novel of the fantastic' – KELLY LINK 'The best fantasy trilogy of the decade' – CHARLES STROSS 'The Magicians is angst-ridden, bleak, occasionally joyous and gloriously readable. Forget Hogwarts: this is where the magic really is.' – SFX 'The Magicians is fantastic, in all senses of the word. It's strange, fanciful, extravagant, eccentric, and truly remarkable – a great story, masterfully told.' – SCOTT SMITH, author of THE RUINS

Kate and her younger brother Tom lead dull, uninteresting lives. And if their dull, uninteresting parents are anything to go by, they don't have much to look forward to. Why can't Kate have thrilling adventures and save the world the way people do in books? Even her 11th birthday is shaping up to be mundane -- that is, until her mysterious and highly irresponsible Uncle Herbert, whom she's never even met before, surprises her with the most unexpected, exhilarating, inappropriate birthday present of all time: a colossal steam locomotive called the Silver Arrow. Kate and Tom's parents want to send it right back where it came from. But Kate and Tom have other ideas -- and so does the Silver Arrow -- and soon they're off to distant lands along magical rail lines in the company of an assortment of exotic animals who, it turns out, can talk. With only curiosity, excitement, their own resourcefulness and the thrill of the unknown to guide them, Kate and Tom are on the adventure of a lifetime...and who knows? They just might end up saving the world after all.

“For anyone who’s ever craved a seat at the Round Table. Utterly enchanting.” —Rebecca Yarros, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians trilogy returns with a triumphant reimagining of the King Arthur legend for the new millennium A gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a spot on the Round Table, only to find that he’s too late. The king died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, leaving no heir, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table survive. They aren’t the heroes of legend, like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs of the Round Table, from the edges of the stories, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. Together this ragtag fellowship will set out to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance. But Arthur’s death has revealed Britain’s fault lines. God has abandoned it, and the fairies and monsters and old gods are returning, led by Arthur’s half-sister Morgan le Fay. Kingdoms are turning on each other, warlords lay siege to Camelot and rival factions are forming around the disgraced Lancelot and the fallen Queen Guinevere. It is up to Collum and his companions to reclaim Excalibur, solve the mysteries of this ruined world and make it whole again. But before they can restore Camelot they’ll have to learn the truth of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell, and lay to rest the ghosts of his troubled family and of Britain’s dark past. The first major Arthurian epic of the new millennium, The Bright Sword is steeped in tradition, full of duels and quests, battles and tournaments, magic swords and Fisher Kings. It also sheds a fresh light on Arthur’s Britain, a diverse, complex nation struggling to come to terms with its bloody history. The Bright Sword is a story about imperfect men and women, full of strength and pain, who are looking for a way to reforge a broken land in spite of being broken themselves.

Unfettered III

Quentin Coldwater es un chico brillante pero desdichado que vive obsesionado con las novelas de fantasia que leyo en su infancia y que transcurrian en un pais magico llamado Fillory. Cual no sera su sorpresa cuando, inesperadamente, es admitido en una muy secreta y exclusiva universidad de magia en Nueva York, donde recibira una rigurosa educacion sobre los arcanos de la moderna hechiceria y descubrira la amistad, el amor, el sexo, la bebida… y el aburrimiento. Porque a pesar de los increibles descubrimientos que ha hecho a lo largo de estos anos de universidad, siente que le falta algo. La magia no ha conseguido que Quentin encuentre la felicidad y las aventuras con que habia sonado. Pero tras graduarse, el y sus amigos haran un descubrimiento asombroso: Fillory es real, aunque no exactamente como imaginaron en sus suenos de infancia… Psicologicamente penetrante y extraordinariamente absorbente. Los magos transita por territorios inexplorados, imaginando la magia como una actividad practicada por personas de carne y hueso, con sus deseos, sus caprichos y sus volubles emociones. Lev Grossman ha creado un mundo sumamente original en el que el bien y el mal nunca son absolutos, el sexo y el amor no son simples ni inocentes y la ambicion por el poder tiene un precio terrible.

Los Magos

Os Mágicos

Magikerna är den första och efterlängtade delen i trilogin som gick rakt in på New York Times bästsäljarlista. "Magikerna förhåller sig till Harry Potter som ett glas irländsk whisky förhåller sig till en kopp svagt te." – George R. R. Martin, författaren bakom Game of Thrones Quentin Coldwater är begåvad men olycklig. Han går sista året på high school och är bevisligen ett geni. Dock är han fortfarande hemligt besatt av en serie fantasyböcker han läste som liten, om det magiska landet Fillory. I jämförelse med det känns allting i det riktiga livet grått och meningslöst. Allting förändras när Quentin oväntat blir antagen till Brakebills, ett hemligt och synnerligen exklusivt college i New York, där han ska komma att genomgå en grundlig och tuff utbildning i hur man praktiserar modern magi. Han bekantar sig också med annat man stöter på i college: vänskap, kärlek, sex, alkohol och droger. Trots det saknas någonting fortfarande, och magin skänker honom inte den lycka och äventyrslust han hoppats på. Det finns heller ingenting som kan förbereda honom på den förbluffande upptäckt som väntar efter examen Sagt om boken: "Magikerna är en triumf." The Examiner "Man får helt enkelt inte missa den här oförglömliga läsupplevelsen." Booklist "Det första du vill göra när du läst Magikerna är att skaka hand med Lev Grossman och gratulera honom. Boken briljerar av fantasifull elegans och slagkraft. Grossman har en känsla för humor såväl som för mirakel." The Chicago Tribune "Det här är en bok för alla som älskade Donna Tartts Den hemliga historien. Rekommenderas varmt." Library Journal "Sprudlande och uppfinningsrik, uppfriskande och fängslande. Magikerna är en fantastisk saga." The Washington Post "En Harry Potter för vuxna ... jag kan inte föreställa mig en Narnia-fantast som inte skulle avguda den." The London Times

Magikerna

Il mago

Magicienii

Como a maioria das pessoas, Quentin acreditava que a magia não era algo real. Tudo muda quando ele é surpreendentemente admitido em uma universidade – muito antiga, muito secreta, muito exclusiva – de estudos mágicos, ao norte de Nova York. Após se esgueirar por um terreno baldio do Brooklyn na tarde de inverno em que deveria ter feito sua entrevista para entrar em Princeton, Quentin se vê, em pleno verão, no idílico campus da misteriosa Brakebills. Ali, ele dá início a uma extensa e rigorosa iniciação ao universo acadêmico da feitiçaria moderna; ao mesmo tempo, descobre também os princípios boêmios da vida universitária: amizades, amores, sexo e álcool. Um vislumbre da vida adulta?
