The Magician
by W. Somerset Maugham
"The Magician" is one of Somerset Maughams' most complex and insightful novels. Passing through it is the theme of evil that has cleverly woven history, memorable for its incredibly brilliant characters as well as for its action. In the Finnish de siècle in Paris, Arthur and Margaret get engaged to get married. Everyone agrees, and everyone seems to be having fun until the sinister and repulsive Oliver Haddo comes out.
