Description

"The Magician" by W. Somerset Maugham explores the dark world of Oliver Haddo, a sinister magician. When Haddo seeks to create life through occult practices, chaos ensues. Maugham's narrative delves into the supernatural, the macabre, and the consequences of forbidden knowledge. As Haddo's malevolent ambitions unfold, the story becomes a thrilling journey into the mystical and the boundaries between science and the occult. With vivid characters and a sense of foreboding, the novel captivates readers with its exploration of the shadowy realms where magic and science intersect.

Author

W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965) wrote Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, and a famous shelf of stories from the South Seas and the drawing room. A doctor by training, he observed with a cool, professional eye: desire, failure, and the cost of a vocation. With 35 titles in our catalogue, Maugham remains the English novelist of worldly intelligence — never sentimental, always readable.
