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 Aegypt sequence is as richly significant as Lawrence Durrell's Alexandria Quartet or Anthony Powell's 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. </p> <p> <b>John Crowley</b> was born in the appropriately liminal town of Presque Isle, Maine. His most recent novel is <em>Lord Byron's Novel: The Evening Land.</em> He teaches creative writing at Yale University. In 1992 he received the Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He finds it more gratifying that almost all of his work is still in print.</p> 87457 1 5 2007 Endless Things: An Aegypt Novel total:77|5:29|4:24|3:17|2:7|1:0| 77 306 173 20 6092780 1590200454 9781590200452 4 2 3.97 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6092780.Endless_Things 5 1 false Mon Mar 30 13:33:25 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 02 13:23:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 90618 1931520224 9781931520225 73 18 3.97 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171217093m/90618.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/90618.Endless_Things 2 1 false Sun Dec 06 05:43:58 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 06 05:52:19 -0800 2009 more...]]> 6092780 1590200454 9781590200452 4 2 3.97 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6092780.Endless_Things 3 1 false Mon May 11 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 22:10:48 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 22:11:20 -0700 2009 1 AEgypt quartet.
