«World of Wonders» is the novel by Robertson Davies, published by Penguin in paperback (320 pages, in English).
The novel follows Magnus Eisengrim, master illusionist and celebrated magician, and recalls his life: his time with a circus and the episodes that made him a legendary figure. The novel, final instalment of the Deptford Trilogy, brings together threads from earlier instalments and returns to familiar characters in a tale about memory and the art of illusion.
World of Wonders is the third instalment of the Deptford Trilogy, preceded by Fifth Business and The Manticore, published in 1977.
For readers of literary fiction and for those who wish to complete the Deptford Trilogy.
William Robertson Davies was a Canadian novelist, playwright, critic, journalist, and professor.
