DESCRIPCIÓN:

The stunning conclusion to the #1 New York Times bestselling Magicians trilogy, now an original series on SYFY#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR ONE OF THE YEARS BEST BOOKS The San Francisco Chronicle Salon The Christian Science Monitor AV Club Buzzfeed Kirkus NY 1 Bustle The Globe and MailQuentin Coldwater has been cast out of Fillory, the secret magical land of his childhood dreams. With nothing left to lose he returns to where his story began, the Brakebills Preparatory College of Magic. But he cant hide from his past, and its not long before it comes looking for him. Along with Plum, a brilliant young undergraduate with a dark secret of her own, Quentin sets out on a crooked path through a magical demimonde of gray magic and desperate characters. But all roads lead back to Fillory, and his new life takes him to old haunts, like Antarctica, and to buried secrets and old friends he thought were lost forever. He uncovers the key to a sorcery masterwork, a spell that could create magical utopia, a new Fillorybut casting it will set in motion a chain of events that will bring Earth and Fillory crashing together. To save them he will have to risk sacrificing everything. The Magicians Land is an intricate thriller, a fantastical epic, and an epic of love and redemption that brings the Magicians trilogy to a magnificent conclusion, confirming it as one of the great achievements in modern fantasy. Its the story of a boy becoming a man, an apprentice becoming a master, and a broken land finally becoming whole. Críticas Richly imagined and continually surprising. . . . The strongest book in Grossmans series. It not only offers a satisfying conclusion to Quentin Coldwaters quests, earthly and otherwise, but also considers complex questions about identity and selfhood as profound as they are entertaining. . . . The Magicians Land, more than any other book in the trilogy, wrestles with the question of humanity. . . . This is a gifted writer, and his gifts are at their apex in The Magicians Land. Edan Lepucki, The New York Times Book Review The strength of the trilogy lies . . . in the characters, whose inner lives and frailties Grossman renders with care and empathy. . . . Quentin[s] . . . magical journey is deeply human.The New Yorker [A] wonderful trilogy. . . . If the Narnia books were like catnip for a certain kind of kid, these books are like crack for a certain kind of adult. . . . Brakebills graduates can have a hard time adjusting to life outside, though some distract themselves by lazily meddling in world affairs (e.g., the election of 2000). Readers of Mr. Grossmans mesmerizing trilogy might experience the same kind of withdrawal upon finishing The Magicians Land. Short of wishing that a fourth book could suddenly appear by magic, theres not much we can do about it. Sarah Lyall, The New York Times Grossman makes it clear in the deepening complexity and widening scope of each volume that he understands the pleasures and perils of stories and believing in them. . . . The Magician's Land triumphantly answers the essential questions at the heart of the series, about whether magic belongs to childhood alone, whether reality trumps fantasy, even whether we have the power to shape our own lives in an indifferent universe. Gwenda Bond, The Los Angeles Times A wholly satisfying and stirring conclusion to this weird and wonderful tale. . . . Relentlessly subversive and inventive. . . . Grossman can . . . write like a magician. . . . [He] reminds us that good writing can beguile the senses, imagination and intellect. The door at the back of the book is still there, and we can go back to those magical lands, older and wiser, eager for the re-enchantment. Keith Donohue, The Washington Post A huge part of the pleasure of this trilogy in general and this volume in particular is that, even as we consume the st
