English Summary/英文概要： With all the wonder of a small-scale The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay comes this moving and unforgettable novel about childhood, love, and magic.
Growing up in a Jewish neighbourhood in the 1930s, young Benjamin Kleeman falls in love, first with Corrine Foster and then with magic. Hiding his new passions from his parents - the long-suffering Bella, an Italian immigrant, and Jacob, a talented but failed inventor of elaborate mechanical devices - Benjamin begins apprenticeships in magic and life itself, learning along the way that everything is more complicated than it seems.
With wit, tenderness, humour, and, startling beauty, Cary Fagan brings a gifted young man’s rise to a peculiar kind of stardom, wonderfully alive.

20世纪30年代，本杰明•克里曼在一个犹太社区度过了他的童年。青年克里曼与柯林•福斯特陷入了爱河，但很快克里曼迷恋上了魔法。然而他必须对自己的父母隐藏这一狂热的兴趣---他的母亲贝拉是一名常年生活在痛苦之中的意大利移民，而他的父亲雅各布则是一名空有精细机械装置设计才华却不得志的发明家。就这样，克里曼独自一人开始了生活中的魔法学徒之旅，在这一过程中，他慢慢意识到生活中的一切都远比事物的外表看上去复杂得多。
卡瑞•法根以其睿智却不乏温柔、幽默与惊人之美的笔触为我们完美的呈现出一名颇具天分的年轻人，他以自己独特的方式让才华发光发热，并最终感悟到奇妙的生命真谛。（DC）
