Robertson Davis is the largest Canadian writer, a master of plot intricacies and riddles, one of the best storytellers in English literature. His Deptford Trilogy (The Fifth Character, Manticore, World of Wonders) was considered the beginning of the "Canadian breakthrough" in world literature. He was on the Booker shortlist (with the novel "What's in the Bones" from the "Cornish Trilogy"), was awarded the main Canadian literary award - the Governor General's Prize, at the end of his life he almost received the Nobel Prize, but, even forever remaining among the candidates, won the status of a world classic. The Enchanter, the Canadian master's latest novel and his creative testament, is "Davis's return to the ideal form of the Deptford Trilogy and What's in the Bones" (Publishers Weekly), a novel that is "filled to the brim with themes of music, poetry , beauty, philosophy, death and secret nooks and crannies of the human soul" (Observer). Characters appear here not only from Davis' previous novel Murder and the Restless Spirits, but even our old acquaintance Dunstan Ramsay from the Deptford Trilogy. Here, Dr. Jonathan Halla - nicknamed the Enchanter, because he can, in the words of the "English Montaigne" Robert Burton, "heal almost any ailment of the body and soul" - investigates the mysterious death of Father Hobbs, who died in the church of St. Aidan right at the altar. And this investigation makes the Wizard remember his whole long life, rich in incredible events and amazing meetings ... For the first time in Russian!
