release date: Jul 19, 2023
Los magos (Trilogía Los Magos 1)
Primera entrega de la extraordinaria y absorbente trilogía «Los Magos» en la que la magia se imagina como una actividad practicada por personas de carne y hueso con sus deseos, sus caprichos y sus volubles emociones. Quentin Coldwater es un chico brillante pero desdichado que vive obsesionado con las novelas de fantasía que leyó en su infancia y que transcurrían en un país mágico llamado Fillory. Cuál no será su sorpresa cuando inesperadamente es admitido en una muy secreta y exclusiva universidad de magia en Nueva York, donde recibirá una rigurosa educación sobre los arcanos de la moderna hechicería y descubrirá la amistad, el amor, el sexo, la bebida y el aburrimiento. Porque a pesar de los increíbles descubrimientos que ha hecho a lo largo de estos años de universidad, siente que le falta algo. La magia no ha conseguido que Quentin encuentre la felicidad y las aventuras con que había soñado. Pero tras graduarse, él y sus amigos harán un descubrimiento asombroso. Fillory es real, aunque no exactamente como imaginaron en sus sueños de infancia. Psicológicamente penetrante y extraordinariamente absorbente Los magos transita por territorios inexplorados en los que 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 ambición por el poder tiene un precio terrible.

The Golden Swift
In this thrilling adventure in the New York Times bestselling Silver Arrow series, Kate and Tom must confront the limits of what even magic can do—all while trying to bring balance back to the world. A lot has changed for Kate in a year. She and Tom are now full-fledged conductors of the steam-powered, animal-saving Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. Life is good! Or good-ish, anyway. Her uncle Herbert has gone missing, and the worsening climate means that there are more and more animals that need help all the time. How many times does Kate have to save the world before it stays saved? And her real life isn’t exactly perfect either. She flunked her audition for the junior high musical and got stuck in the chorus, while her archenemy Jag got a lead. So, out of desperation, Kate breaks the rules and takes the Silver Arrow out on an unsanctioned mission, to find Uncle Herbert and bring back balance to the world. But she quickly discovers she’s not the only one on the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway. There’s a mysterious train called the Golden Swift out there too, with an agenda of its own. Is it an ally? A rival? An enemy? A bit of all three? The question will turn Kate’s world upside down, take her from the Scottish Highlands to the Australian outback to the bottom of the Bering Sea, and lead her straight on a collision course with the mysterious masters of the Great Secret Intercontinental Railway itself. Because when you''re a human being fighting to save nature, are you the hero or are you the villain? There are no simple answers.

La locomotiva magica
UN TRENO PARLANTE E UNA FOLLE CORSAPER SALVARE LA TERRA Scuola. Lezioni di piano. Un fratello minore sempre tra i piedi. Kate è certa che la vita non può essere più noiosa di così. Perché non può vivere avventure entusiasmanti e salvare il mondo, come fanno i protagonisti dei suoi libri? Persino il suo undicesimo compleanno si prospetta come la solita solfa…Almeno fino a quando il misterioso - e mai visto prima - Zio Herbert non si presenta con il più inatteso, incredibile e inappropriato regalo di compleanno di tutti i tempi: una locomotiva a vapore chiamata Freccia d’argento. Un po’ ingombrante da tenere parcheggiata in giardino, pensa Kate, ma a smentirla, nella notte, appaiono rotaie lucenti pronte a tuffarsi nel bosco. E quando Kate e il fratello Tom salgono sul treno leve e manopole cominciano a muoversi da sole… Un sonoro clangore annuncia che si sono sbloccati i freni e ormai l’avventura non si può più fermare! Sfrecciando tra giungle e ghiacci, in compagnia di un porcospino e altri animali che hanno molto da raccontare, i due fratelli scopriranno quanto meravigliosa sia la nostra Terra, quanto grandi i pericoli a cui è esposta e quanto cuore e coraggio si chiede ai ragazzi come loro. Kate e Tom hanno davanti l’avventura della loro vita… e chissà? Potrebbero anche finire per salvare il mondo, dopo tutto.

Kate y su hermano menor Tom llevan unas vidas aburridas y poco interesantes. Y seguramente sus padres tienen algo que ver con eso. ¿Por qué Kate no puede vivir aventuras extraordinarias y salvar el mundo como lo hacen los protagonistas de los libros que lee? Incluso su undécimo cumpleaños parece que será igual de anodino, hasta que su misterioso tío Herbert, a quien no conocía, la sorprende con el regalo de cumpleaños más inesperado, impresionante e inapropiado que se pueda imaginar: una colosal locomotora de vapor llamada La Flecha Plateada. Sus padres quieren devolverle el regalo al tío Herbert, pero antes de que eso suceda, Kate y Tom viajan a tierras lejanas a bordo de La Flecha Plateada y en compañía de toda clase de animales exóticos que, al parecer, pueden hablar. Armados únicamente con su curiosidad, ingenio y la emoción de lo desconocido para guiarlos, Kate y Tom se encuentran de pronto en la aventura de su vida... ¿y quién sabe? Quizá terminen salvando el mundo después de todo. "Un libro que se convertirá en un clásico por derecho propio."

Il mago
Quentin Coldwater ha diciassette anni, la mente di un genio e troppe inquietudini. Da cui si libera solo immergendosi nel mondo incantato di Fillory, in cui sono ambientati i suoi romanzi preferiti. Un giorno viene scelto dalla prestigiosa università per maghi di Brakebills, che sorge nascosta da un incantesimo sulle rive dell''Hudson. A Brakebills la magia è una cosa seria, e tra lezioni di stregoneria, emozionanti partite a welters, primi amori e nuove amicizie, Quentin ne impara i segreti. Ma la magia ha anche dei lati oscuri e Quentin lo capirà a proprie spese ritrovandosi nella "sua" Fillory, magicamente reale, per scoprire che anche lì, come nel nostro mondo, i colori del bene e del male sono pericolosamente sfumati. Un romanzo fantastico, brulicante di invenzioni e fantasia come nei mondi creati da C.S. Lewis e J.K. Rowling; un universo senza confini che è lo specchio tragico e magnifico della vita.

Trascorrono le loro giornate immersi in un pae-saggio da fiaba fatto di alberi-orologio e animali parlanti, eppure Quentin è sempre più irrequieto. Questa nuova vita facile e spensierata non gli basta: lui desidera, con tutte le sue forze, un''avventura. E poi, ultimamente, a Fillory stanno succedendo cose strane e inquietanti Così, insieme alla regina Julia, Quentin fa riparare una vecchia nave magica e prende il mare per raggiungere i confini estremi del regno. Sull''Isola Esterna viene a sapere della leggenda delle sette chiavi di Fillory e decide di andarle a cercare.

LA SAGA QUI A INSPIRE LA SÉRIE ÉVÉNEMENT THE MAGICIANS. Quentin a tout perdu. Privé de sa couronne, chassé du royaume de Fillory qui lui est désormais interdit, irrémédiablement séparé de ses amis les plus chers, il n’est plus qu’un marginal errant sans repères et sans espoir. Retourner à Brakebills, le foyer de son apprentissage, pour y enseigner à son tour ? Ce ne sera qu’un amer feu de paille. Alors pourquoi ne pas s’acoquiner avec ce groupe hétéroclite de magiciens à la petite semaine, recrutés pour s’emparer, façon commando, d’une valise mystérieuse au contenu peut-être bien inestimable ? De pérégrinations en découvertes, de secrets enfouis en révélations éblouissantes, il est vrai que tous les chemins mènent à Fillory. Fillory qui se meurt. La fin des temps est annoncée ; les nouveaux souverains ont entrepris une quête désespérée... « La terre du magicien est le plus puissant des livres de la trilogie. Non seulement il donne aux quêtes de Quentin Coldwater une conclusion qui nous comble, mais il se penche sur des problèmes complexes tels que l’identité et la personnalité, dans une démarche aussi profonde que réjouissante. » Edan Lepucki, The New York Times Book Review
