This is the fourth novelâand much-anticipated conclusionâof John Crowleyâs astonishing and lauded Ãgypt sequence: a dense, lyrical meditation on history, alchemy, and memory. Spanning three centuries, and weaving together the stories of Renaissance magician John Dee, philosopher Giordano Bruno, and present-day itinerant historian and writer Pierce Moffitt, the Ãgypt sequence is as richly significant as Lawrence Durrellâs Alexandria Quartet or Anthony Powellâs Dance to the Music of Time. Crowley, a master prose stylist, explores transformations physical, magical, alchemical, and personal in this epic, distinctly American novel where the past, present, and future reflect each other. |
