Путь волшебника
Всемогущество… Мы лишь мечтаем о нем, но есть и те, кто обладает им. Это ведьмы, кудесники, некроманты, чернокнижники, заклинатели. Их глаза видят сквозь туман земного бытия, их ладони лежат на рычагах управления вселенной.

Никогда еще магия не была такой волнующей и увлекательной. Прославленный составитель антологий Джон Джозеф Адамс собрал для вас...
The Way of the Wizard
Power. We all want it, they've got it — witches, warlocks, sorcerers, necromancers, those who peer beneath the veil of mundane reality and put their hands on the levers that move the universe.

Experience the thrill of power, the way of the wizard. Now acclaimed editor John Joseph Adams (The Living Dead) brings you thirty-two of the most spellbinding tales ever written, by some of today's most magical...
Other Worlds Than These (collection)
What if you could not only travel any location in the world, but to any possible world? We can all imagine such “other worlds”—be they worlds just slightly different than our own or worlds full of magic and wonder—but it is only in fiction that we can travel to them. From The Wizard of Oz to The Dark Tower, from Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass to C. S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, there is a rich tradition of this kind of fiction, but never before have the best parallel world stories and portal fantasies been collected in a single volume—until now. Review “Anthologist Adams presents readers with a wide variety of alternate Earths, some only slightly askew and...
