Parallax by Max Maven - Book

\n

"Du hast Magie gefunden. Jetzt, was willst du damit tun?"

\n

So fragt Max Maven in den Seiten seines Parallax, einer Sammlung von 61 einflussreichen, nachdenklichen und oft kontroversen Essays, die er vom September 1991 bis August 1996 für MAGIC magazine beigetragen hat.

\n

Diese Essays sind reich an Kommentaren, Beobachtungen und spitzzüngiger Kritik – alle in einem reichen und einzigartigen Ton verfasst. Sie wurden endlich in einem einzelnen Band zusammengetragen.

\n

Parallax wird als Max Mavens "finstere Schöpfung" (Mac King), "unvergleichlich" (Jamy Ian Swiss), "Manifesto über Magie als Kunstform" (Stephen Minch), "vorwegnehmend" (John Lovick), "intelligent und witzig" (Stan Allen), "notwendiges Lesevergnügen" (Jeff McBride) und "eines der wichtigsten Bücher unserer Zeit" (Todd Robbins) bezeichnet.

\n

Es gibt nur wenige Sammlungen von Essays im Magiebereich, und noch weniger, die so scharf oder relevant sind für jene, die sich als echte Schüler des Künsters betrachten. Es gibt auch nur wenige Beispiele dafür, dass Schreibkunst so tief ernsthaft und gleichzeitig zum Lachen ist.

\n

Eine 208-seitige, mit Bildern illustrierte, gebundene Ausgabe in Format 6" x 9", mit Smyth-gefertigter Bindung. Mit einer Einführung von Stephen Minch, dem Gründer der Hermetic Press.\n\n

Originale englische Beschreibung

"You have found magic. Now, what are you going to do with it it?"

So muses Max Maven in the pages of Parallax, a collection of 61 influential, thought-provoking, and oftentimes controversial essays he contributed to MAGIC magazine from September 1991 to August 1996.

Rich with commentary, observations, and caustic editorializing-all composed in in a tone both rich and distinct-these essays have finally been collected in a single volume.

Praise for Parallax calls this book Max Maven's "finest creation" (Mac King), "unprecedented" (Jamy Ian Swiss), "a manifesto on magic as an art form" (Stephen Minch), "ahead of its time" (John Lovick), "smart and funny" (Stan Allen), "essential reading" (Jeff McBride), and "one of the most important books of our time" (Todd Robbins).

There are very few collections of essays in the world of magic, and fewer still that are as pointed or as relevant to those who consider themselves a genuine student of the art. Nor are there many examples of writing as deeply serious and simultaneously laugh-out-loud funny.

A 208-page 6" x 9" illustrated cloth-bound volume with Smyth-sewn binding. With an introduction by Stephen Minch, founder of Hermetic Press.
