  • "Precocious high school senior Quentin Coldwater escapes the boredom of daily life by reading a series of beloved fantasy novels set in an enchanted land.

  • "Quentin Coldwater es un chico brillante pero desdichado que vive obsesionado con las novelas de fantasia que leyo en su infancia y que transcurrian en un pais magico llamado Fillory. Cual no sera su sorpresa cuando, inesperadamente, es admitido en una muy secreta y exclusiva Universidad de magia en Nueva York, donde recibira una rigurosa educacion sobre los arcanos de la moderna hechiceria y descubrira la amistad, el amor, el sexo, la bebida ... y el aburrimiento. Porque a pesar de los increibles descubrimientos que ha hecho a lo largo de estos anos de universidad, siente que le falta algo. La magia no ha conseguido que Quentin encuentre la felicidad y las aventuras con que habia sonado. Pero tras graduarse, el y sus amigos haran un descubrimiento asombroso: Fillory es real, aunque no exactamente como imaginaron en sus suenos de infancia Psicologicamente penetrante y extraordinariamente absorbente, Los magos transita por territorios inexplorados, imaginando la magia como una actividad practicada por personas de carne y hueso, con sus deseos, sus caprichos y sus volubles emociones. Lev Grossman ha creado un mundo sumamente original en el que el bien y el mal nunca son absolutos, el sexo y el amor no son simples ni inocentes y la ambicion por el poder tiene un precio terrible. / Quentin Coldwater's life is changed forever by an apparently chance encounter: when he turns up for his entrance interview to Princeton he finds his interviewer dead - but a strange envelope bearing Quentin's name leads him down a very different path to any he'd ever imagined. The envelope, and the mysterious manuscript it contains, leads to a secret world of obsession and privilege, a world of freedom and power and, for a while, it's a world that seems to answer all Quentin's desires. But the idyll cannot last - and when it's finally shattered, Quentin is drawn into something darker and far more dangerous than anything he could ever have expected ..."
