About the book: 2003 / This book is about magic. Genuine magic that has entered the flesh and blood of a person who, least of all in the world, would like to be a sorcerer. Chilling transformations, spells and battles become milestones marking the Path of Knowledge and initiation into magic. Schweitzer is a unique science fiction writer who managed to prove that the fantasy genre, contrary to popular belief, is far from exhausted, and his “Mask of the Sorcerer” is rightfully considered one of the best books of the last decade.
