Publisher's Synopsis

The mysterious circumstances surrounding the magnate Boy Staunton's death are solved after an exploration of seemingly innocent actions that will reveal themselves as defining moments in the life of Paul Dempster, a child from Deptford whom Stauntaon had known during his childhood and who would eventually become Magnus Eisengrim, the most famous illusionist of his time. Eisengrim will narrate his life, offering his own particular vision of Staunton's death, and explaining how he learned his trade and became a world-famous illusionist. His tale will reveal how the path to success can often be more difficult and tragic than it appears, and how a brilliant figure can also have a dark part. Although it can be read independently, this novel is the third installment of The Deptford Trilogy.

 

Eel misterio que rodea la muerte del magnate Boy Staunton es resuelto luego de la exploración de acciones en apariencia inocentes que se revelarán como acontecimientos decisivos en la vida de Paul Dempster, un niño de Deptford al que Staunton habìa conocido en su infancia y que se convertirìa en Magnus Eisengrim, el prestidigitador más famoso de su época. Eisengrim narrará su vida, ofreciendo su particular visión de la muerte de Staunton, y explicando cómo aprendió su oficio y llegó a convertirse en un ilusionista de fama mundial. Su relato revelará hasta qué punto el camino hacia el éxito es más arduo y trágico de lo que parece a simple vista, y cómo una figura brillante puede contar también con un pasado oscuro. Aunque puede ser leìda independientemente, esta novela es el tercer libro de la Trilogìa de Deptford.
