«The Cunning Man» is the literary fiction novel by Robertson Davies, published by Penguin in paperback (480 pages, in English).
The physician Jonathan Hullah, «the cunning man», practises holistic healing and wants to clarify the mysterious death of Father Hobbs on Good Friday. To do so, he reviews his life: his youth in the Canadian forest, where an Indian shaman saved him, his war years and the friendships that shaped his idea of the link between body and spirit.
«The Cunning Man» is the second instalment of Robertson Davies's Toronto Trilogy. The novel was originally published in 1994; this Penguin edition is from 1995.
For readers of literary fiction and twentieth-century Canadian narrative, as well as for followers of Robertson Davies's work.
William Robertson Davies was a Canadian novelist, playwright, critic, journalist, and professor. He was one of Canada's best known and most popular authors and one of its most distinguished "men of letters", a term Davies gladly accepted for himself. Davies was the founding Master of Massey College, a graduate residential college associated with the University of Toronto.
