After Magic

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Magic, super-powers, contact with the beyond - digging down beneath these stories uncovers an extraordinary pattern: it is only in the renunciation of such 'potent arts' that a hero's true humanity is revealed. Journeying from Shakespeare's plays through novels and films and deep into the human condition, After Magic presents a startling challenge to a world still tied up with toxic religion to discover what lies in a life lived beyond the infinite demand of 'super-nature.'
