Jonathan Stroud strana 3 z 3

Nathaniel, mladý čarodejnícky učeň, vyvolá 5000-ročného džina Bartimaeusa. Ten nepatrí medzi bytosti, ktoré by ukazovali malým čarodejníkom praobyčajné kúzla. Preto sa voči chlapcovi správa bezočivo a zlomyseľne, ale len dovtedy, kým nezistí, čo má Nathaniel za lubom. Prikáže džinovi, aby ukradol nebezpečný amulet zo Samarkandu mocnému mágovi, ktorého krutosť a ctižiadosť nemá páru. Má to byť súčasť pomsty za poníženie pred zhromaždením všetkých významných mágov. Neuvedomí si, že tým spôsobí mnoho problémov, a to nielen sebe...

When the 5,000-year-old djinni Bartimaeus is summoned by Nathaniel, a young magician´s apprentice, he expects to have to do nothing more taxing than a little levitation or a few simple illusions. But Nathaniel is a precocious talent and has something rath

The second adventure in the Bartimaeus trilogy finds Nathaniel working his way up the ranks of the government, when crisis hits. A seemingly invulnerable clay golem is making random attacks on London. Nathaniel and Bartimaeus must travel to Prague to discover the source of the golem's power.

Nathaniel is a magician's apprentice, taking his first lessons in the arts of magic. But when a devious hot-shot wizard named Simon Lovelace ruthlessly humiliates Nathaniel in front of his elders, Nathaniel decides to kick up his education a few notches and show Lovelace who's boss. With revenge on his mind, he summons the powerful djinni, Bartimaeus. But summoning Bartimaeus and controlling him are two different things entirely, and when Nathaniel sends the djinni out to steal Lovelace's greatest treasure, the Amulet of Samarkand, he finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of magical espionage, murder, and rebellion.
