Produktbeschreibung

The Sorcerer, first published in 1908, is a unique literary work that blends romance and mystery within a suspenseful dramatic framework. The story revolves around Oliver Haddad, a young doctor who falls in love with Margaret Dowd, a beautiful girl who soon becomes a victim of a mysterious figure named Arthur Burkitt, a black magician who controls Margaret using hypnosis. The novel follows Oliver's journey to rescue Margaret from the Sorcerer's clutches, as he faces a psychological and mental struggle with mysterious forces beyond his scientific comprehension. As the story unfolds, Maugham uncovers Burkitt's secrets and the magical experiments he leads, in a plot marked by mystery and suspense. Somerset Maugham based the character of Arthur Burkitt on Aleister Crowley, one of the most prominent practitioners of magic in the early 20th century. This inspiration lent it a thrilling, realistic quality that earned it critical acclaim upon its release. Although the novel was criticized for its treatment of magic and astrology, the author's fluid style and ability to blend philosophy and psychology made it a distinctive work, embodying the struggle between rationality and supernatural forces. Although "The Magician" did not achieve the fame of Maugham's other works, it remains a controversial novel.
