Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magician Dr. Pothoi-et drew more closely round his fragile body the heavy cloak which even in summer he could not persuade himself to discard. The best part of his life had been spent in Egypt, in the practice of medicine, and the frigid summers of Europe scarcely warmed his blood. His memory ashed for an instant upon those multi-coloured streets of Alexandria; and then, like a homing bird, it ew to the green woods and the storm-beaten coasts of his native Brittany. His brown eyes were veiled with sudden melancholy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
