Der Zauber von Xanth

Więcej o książce

Xanth is a magical land where everyone possesses unique talents, and those who fail to demonstrate their magic by age 25 face exile to Mundania. Bink of North Village, nearing this age without discovering his ability, embarks on a perilous journey to seek the Good Magician Humphrey, who specializes in information. Along the way, he is aided by Wynne, a simple yet beautiful companion; Iris, an illusionist; and Crombie, a soldier with a knack for sensing danger. Upon reaching Humphrey's castle, Bink learns that his magic remains a mystery, but the magician believes it is as powerful as that of the King or even the forces of evil threatening Xanth. In the next adventure, the King sends Bink, now accompanied by Crombie (transformed into a griffin) and Chester the Centaur, on a quest to find the source of Xanth's magic. They face relentless attacks from an unseen enemy, and even Humphrey's magic proves insufficient for their protection. When they are overpowered by the brain coral, the guardian of the magic source, hope seems lost until Bink's unexpected actions change the course of their fate. Meanwhile, Millie, a ghost revived by Xanth's magic, falls in love with Jonathan the Zombie. To secure his claim to the throne, young Magician Dor seeks a spell to restore Jonathan to life, traveling back 800 years to the era of King Roogna, where he must enlist the help of the Zombie Master to aid in his quest.
