Book Description
In the early 1900s, the streets of New York City buzzed with excitement. Posters adorned every lamppost and storefront, proclaiming the arrival of a sensation that would leave audiences spellbound. "The Great Galdello," they read in bold, ornate letters, "Prepare to witness the impossible!" As the sun set on the bustling metropolis, crowds gathered outside the opulent Majestic Theater, their anticipation palpable in the crisp evening air. Men in tailored suits and women in elegant gowns filed into the grand auditorium, whispering excitedly about the spectacles they were about to witness. Little did they know that behind the mask of the mysterious performer lay a dark and twisted soul, one whose path to fame was paved with betrayal, blood, and an insatiable thirst for vengeance. It all began with Galdello, a young man whose piercing blue eyes burned with ambition. From a tender age, he had been captivated by the world of illusion, spending countless hours poring over books on magic and sleight of hand. His nimble fingers danced across playing cards and coins, practicing until his hands ached and his eyes grew heavy with exhaustion. "One day," he would whisper to himself in the dim light of his cramped apartment, "I'll be the greatest illusion creator the world has ever seen." Galdello's dedication paid off. By his early twenties, he had developed a reputation as a prodigy in the world of magic. His illusions were unlike anything anyone had ever seen before – elaborate contraptions that seemed to defy the laws of physics and reality itself. One crisp autumn evening, as Galdello tinkered with his latest creation, a knock at the door interrupted his work. He opened it to find a striking young woman with fiery red hair and emerald eyes that sparkled with mischief. "Mr. Galdello?" she inquired, her voice as smooth as silk. "My name is Evelyn. I'm here on behalf of Dan Masterson, owner of Grand Illusions. He's heard about your work and would like to meet with you." Galdello's heart raced. Grand Illusions was the most prestigious magic company in the country. This could be his big break. "Of course," he replied, trying to keep his excitement in check. "I'd be honored to meet with Mr. Masterson." Little did Galdello know that this moment would set in motion a chain of events that would lead to his downfall and transformation into the notorious Mad Magician. Dan Masterson was a shrewd businessman, always looking for ways to make himself more successful. When he saw the potential in Galdello's illusions, he knew he had struck gold. "These are remarkable, my boy," Masterson exclaimed, examining Galdello's blueprints with greedy eyes. "Simply remarkable. I can see it now – your name in lights, adoring crowds, riches beyond your wildest dreams!" Galdello's chest swelled with pride. "Thank you, sir. I've worked hard to perfect these illusions." Masterson clapped him on the back. "And that hard work is about to pay off. I'll make you a star, Galdello. Just sign here, and we'll get started right away." Blinded by the promise of fame and fortune, Galdello signed the contract without reading the fine print. It was a decision he would come to regret for the rest of his life. Months passed, and Galdello watched in horror as Masterson claimed his illusions as his own, presenting them to the world under the Grand Illusions banner. When Galdello confronted him, Masterson merely laughed. "Read the contract, boy," he sneered, waving the document in Galdello's face. "Everything you create while working for Grand Illusions belongs to me. You should have been more careful." Galdello's world crumbled around him. His dreams, his life's work – all stolen in the blink of an eye. But the betrayal cut even deeper when he discovered that Evelyn, the woman who had first brought him to Masterson, had become more than just an employee of Grand Illusions.

Book Description
The Architect as Magician explores the connection between magic and architecture. There is a belief that a greater understanding of the meaning of magic provides insights about architecture and architects’ design processes. Architects influence the effects of nature through the making of their buildings. In an analogous condition, magicians perform rituals in an attempt to influence the forces of nature. This book argues that architects could gain much by incorporating ideas from magic into their design process. The book demonstrates through historical and current examples the important influence magic has had on the practice of architecture. The authors explain how magic helps us to understand the way we infuse architecture with meaning and how magic affects and inspires architectural creation. Aimed at architects, students, scholars and researchers, The Architect as Magician helps readers discover the ambiguous and spiritual elements in their design process.

Book Description
Enchanted by Narnia's fantastic world as a child, prominent critic Laura Miller returns to the series as an adult to uncover the source of these small books' mysterious power by looking at their creator, Clive Staples Lewis. What she discovers is not the familiar, idealized image of the author, but a more interesting and ambiguous truth: Lewis's tragic and troubled childhood, his unconventional love life, and his intense but ultimately doomed friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien. Finally reclaiming Narnia "for the rest of us," Miller casts the Chronicles as a profoundly literary creation, and the portal to a lifelong adventure in books, art, and the imagination.
