From the acclaimed author of Brooklyn and The Master, Colm Tóibín brings to life the fascinating world of Thomas Mann, Nobel Prize-winning German novelist and the brilliant mind behind Death in Venice and The Magic Mountain. The Magician is a sweeping historical novel exploring Mann’s art, family, sexuality, and political exile. Tóibín’s lyrical prose and psychological insight offer a compelling portrait of a writer haunted by genius, desire, and the tumults of 20th-century Europe.

A must-have for collectors of modern literary fiction and fans of biographical novels.
