El Mundo de Los Prodigios (Spanish, Paperback, 5th Fifth Edition, Fifth ed.)

The mysterious circumstances surrounding the magnate Boy Staunton's death are solved after an exploration of seemingly innocent actions that will reveal themselves as defining moments in the life of Paul Dempster, a child from Deptford whom Stauntaon had known during his childhood and who would eventually become Magnus Eisengrim, the most famous illusionist of his time. Eisengrim will narrate his life, offering his own particular vision of Staunton's death, and explaining how he learned his trade and became a world-famous illusionist. His tale will reveal how the path to success can often be more difficult and tragic than it appears, and how a brilliant figure can also have a dark part. Although it can be read independently, this novel is the third installment of The Deptford Trilogy. "Eel misterio que rodea la muerte del magnate Boy Staunton es resuelto luego de la exploracion de acciones en apariencia inocentes que se revelaran como acontecimientos decisivos en la vida de Paul Dempster, un nino de Deptford al que Staunton habia conocido en su infancia y que se convertiria en Magnus Eisengrim, el prestidigitador mas famoso de su epoca. Eisengrim narrara su vida, ofreciendo su particular vision de la muerte de Staunton, y explicando como aprendio su oficio y llego a convertirse en un ilusionista de fama mundial. Su relato revelara hasta que punto el camino hacia el exito es mas arduo y tragico de lo que parece a simple vista, y como una figura brillante puede contar tambien con un pasado oscuro. Aunque puede ser leida independientemente, esta novela es el tercer libro de la Trilogia de Deptford."
