Product Information

“Imagine that Hogwarts has opened a satellite campus inside Harry Haller’s Magic Theater from Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, and assigned Kafka, Dostoevsky, and Rod Serling to oversee the curriculum. He rewards her efforts with a strange golden coin. The books are impossible to read, the lessons maddeningly obscure, and the work refuses memorization. A strange and unusual man with an air of the sinister, Farit challenges her conventional sensibilities and introduces her to the Institute of Special Technologies, a secluded private school located in a remote village far from her home. The definitive English language translation of the internationally best-selling Russian novel - a brilliant dark fantasy combining psychological suspense, enchantment, and terror that makes us consider human existence in a fresh and provocative way. Transgressions and failures are not punished directly; it is the students’ families who pay a terrible price. -Open 7 days a week-
