Powell's Staff: New Literature in Translation: June 2022 (0 comment)
June is one of my favorite months, especially here in Portland, where the weather can be beautiful and sunny one minute and a gray downpour with threats of thunder the next. It’s important to always be prepared to take advantage of those rainy afternoons, with a good mug of tea and a great book. Below, we’ve rounded up some of the books in translation released this past month....

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis

Three hundred years ago sorcery began to disappear from the world. Steam engines and computers took the place of enchanted plows and spell books. The scientific method became the primary system of belief, and lightning fast search engines the new experts. The secrets of spell casting were forgotten. And sorcery real, physics-defying manipulations of the natural world replaced by trickery and Youtube magician hacks. That is until now.
Sorcery for Beginners is no ordinary, run-of-the-mill fantasy. It s the true beginner s guide to sorcery a how-to manual for bringing magic back to an uninspired and lazy world. It s also the story of Owen Macready and how he uses this book to perform sorcery on the school bully. His use of magic sets off a chain of events that involves a ruthless millionaire, anti-magic mercenaries, and possibly changing the course of world events."

Synopsis

Three hundred and fifty years ago, sorcery began to disappear from the world. Steam engines and computers took the place of enchanted plows and spell books. Science became the primary system of belief, and the secrets of spell casting were forgotten ... until now.
13 year-old Owen Macready is surprised when he discovers a how-to manual for magic that actually works. But when he uses the book to perform sorcery on a school bully, he sets off a chain of events that lead him and his friends to be pursued by a ruthless millionaire, attacked by anti-magic mercenaries, and possibly upend the natural order of the world.
This is no ordinary, run-of-the-mill fantasy. Part novel, part introductory guide to spell-casting, with illustrations, entertaining sidebars, and real, working spells, Sorcery for Beginners brings magic back to a jaded, lazy world.

Synopsis

Four-hundred years ago, sorcery began to fade from the world. As the scientific method prevailed, combustion engines and computers gradually replaced enchanted plows and spell books. The secrets of spell-casting were forgotten, and sorcery--real, physics-defying manipulation of the natural world--was replaced by trickery and hack YouTube magicians. That is ... until now.
Sorcery for Beginners is no fantasy or fairy tale. Written by arcane arts preservationist and elite mage Euphemia Whitmore (along with her ordinary civilian aide Matt Harry), Sorcery for Beginners is the true how-to manual for returning magic to an uninspired world. It's also the story of Owen Macready, a seemingly average 13-year-old who finds himself drawn into a centuries-long war when he uses this book to take on a school bully. Owen's use of sorcery attracts the attention of a ruthless millionaire and a secret society of anti-magic mercenaries, possibly changing the course of world history forever.

Synopsis

Five-hundred years ago, sorcery began to fade from the world. As technology prevailed, combustion engines and computers replaced enchanted plows and spell books. Real magicians were hunted almost to extinction. Science became the primary system of belief, and the secrets of spell-casting were forgotten. That is ... until now.

Sorcery for Beginners is no fantasy or fairy tale. Written by arcane arts preservationist and elite mage Euphemia Whitmore (along with her ordinary civilian aide Matt Harry), this book is a how-to manual for returning magic to an uninspired world. It's also the story of Owen Macready, a seemingly average 13-year-old who finds himself drawn into a centuries-long war when he uses sorcery to take on a school bully. Owen's spell casting attracts the attention of a ruthless millionaire and a secret society of anti-magic mercenaries, all of whom wish to use Sorcery for Beginners to alter the course of world history forever.
