Remarkably it attracted little attention, but when it was published in book form as here in November 1883 it attracted a chorus of praise and has never been out of print since. Treasure Island had originally been serialized (under the pseudonym Captain George North) in Young Folks – a weekly children’s magazine – between October 1881 and January 1882. The first edition was issued in various colours of cloth, and with a number of unique issue points as follows: “dead man’s chest” not capitalised on pages 2 or 7, the first letter of “vain” broken in the last line of page 40, the “a” not present in line 6 of page 63, the “8” dropped from the pagination on page 83, etc Gilt faded on spine, mild foxing to preliminary leaves, repair & restoration to upper margin of title page (not affecting text), otherwise a fine bright copy. Half-title, chart frontispiece printed in four colours with tissue guard, 8-page publisher’s catalogue at the end (numbered “5R.1083” and incorrectly listing ‘Treasure Island’ with 304 pages), black-coated endpapers, preserved in felt lined solander box. Original brick-red cloth lettered in gilt on spine.

Magician: Apprentice is a typical fantasy book, whose universe is clearly inspired by the work of J. In the midst of preparations for a possible invasion, the boys – Pug, an apprentice magician, and Tomas, a soldier in training – are forced to accompany the Duke on a long journey to warn the neighboring kingdoms of the foreign threat. Out of the wreckage comes a strange individual in strange clothing who speaks an even stranger language, leading the Duke of Crydee to imagine that the man came from another world entirely. The book follows a young orphan named Pug and his best friend, Tomas, who see their lives drastically change the moment they come across a shipwreck on the coast of Crydee, where they live. Feist, Magician: Apprentice is a fantasy novel that presents a familiar universe, built on genre tropes, but also a story with wasted potential, which suffers from some shallow worldbuilding and a highly problematic climax.

Chiang's work has been acclaimed as some of the finest modern sci-fi writing around. Dal racconto 'Storia della tua vita' di Ted Chiang. Navicelle aliene circondano la Terra e la linguista Louise è arruolata per stabilire un contatto.

I think the main reason I love a story with a hero that I grow to love, is that it shows a man with imperfections. The poor man just needed someone to love.
