Robertson Davis is the largest Canadian writer, master of plot intricacies and riddles, one of the best storytellers of English -speaking literature. He fell into the short list of the Boker, at the end of his life he almost received the Nobel Prize, but, even forever remaining among the candidates, he won the status of a world classic. His “fifth character” considered the beginning of the “Canadian breakthrough” in world literature, John Fauls himself described this novel as “one of those rare books that would not damage if it was more authentic.” The “Manticore” followed by the “fifth character” was awarded the main Canadian literary award-the Governor General Prize. “The World of Miracles” - the final novel of “Deptord"s trilogy” - represents the autobiography of the magician and wizard Magnus Aizengrim, the story of his rise from the abyss of humiliation to the peaks of worldwide glory.
