À propos de ce contenu audio
The stunning #1 New York Times bestselling conclusion to the Magicians trilogy
A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR
ONE OF THE YEAR’S BEST BOOKS • The San Francisco Chronicle • Salon • The Christian Science Monitor • AV Club • Buzzfeed • Kirkus • NY 1 • Bustle • The Globe and Mail
Quentin 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 can’t hide from his past, and it’s 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 Fillory—but 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 Magician’s 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. It’s the story of a boy becoming a man, an apprentice becoming a master, and a broken land finally becoming whole.

Beautiful Conclusion

Warning : spoilers.
This is a trilogy I have read and listened to several times, because I enjoy it so much. I find the story so rich in adventures, thoughts, finds, details, and so powerfully evocative ! I think I like it so much because it is an answer, Lev Grossman’s answer, to two other tales I like equally : The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter.
And because it is an answer to them, Lev Grossman refers to them continually. In fact, his story grows out of the other two (and a few more, but these two are preponderant, they are the spine of the story). C. S. Lewis brings his protagonists, as children, out of our world into a world of talking beasts and lovely nature, where they are kings and queens, under the benevolent and loving rule of a god ; Lev Grossman brings them as young adults, having lost the innocence, but not the naive longings of children, into this other world, which is not as simple and as gentle as Narnia, but in fact, dangerous. C.S. Lewis kills his protagonists in order to bring them into a new world, Lev Grossman makes his protagonists kill in order to live, and they always choose life. And Lev Grossman asks : what is a god ? Do we need a god ? What is magic ? Where does it come from ? What are its uses ? His champions go to a magic school, like HP, but again, they are not at the treshold of their teenage years but at the end of them ; Brakebills starts when Hogwarts ends. C.S. Lewis and J.K. Rowlings avoided sex, but Lev Grossman brings it into his story. His main characters have to grow out of their unfinished state into fully accepting their fallible humanity, as adults. They have to give up on their childhood dreams, but they get to keep the essence of these dreams, they get to live in a magic world !
And, Lev Grossman’s writing style is, to me, very well crafted. He manages to convey very efficiently not only the atmosphere, but what he does not directly tell. Here is an example, Quentin talks to Plum : « On the train, he told her the whole story of his life there, from begenning to end, as bridges and stations and other trains flashed by in the window, and lots full of idle municipal snowplows, and backyards full of overturned play structures. » The background, moving past, is a total parallel to the feelings Quentin experiences about his life. I like also the nods he sprinkles his text with, allusions to other stories, opposite stances (the gods are not one and only, the mean invaders come from the north and are fair haired and white, the summer finally ends and snow begins to fall, to the great relief of the heroes, are all examples).
In conclusion, I strongly believe that having read and appreciated The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter increases vastly the enjoyment and appreciation of The Magicians.
A joy for the dreamers in love with other worlds
