The year is 1919. The horror of the First World War is fresh for the protagonists of Time of the Magicians, each of whom finds himself at a crucial juncture. Benjamin is trying to flee his overbearing father and floundering in his academic career, living hand to mouth as a critic. Wittgenstein, by contrast, has dramatically decided to divest himself of the monumental fortune he stands to inherit, in search of spiritual clarity.

The ideas presented in this book are world-changing, and the characters are unique and inspiring. Is it so hard to ask that the narrator know how to pronounce words in French and German if the publishers knew it would be heavy in European names?

Amateurish reading and recording
Revisado: 02-18-21
This book's premise can be gleaned within a few chapters, but listening to the excessive details and repetitive scenarios becomes belabored, redundant, and not the least bit illuminating. If you are looking for proof of human credulity read the news or go to a sporting event. It is not a novel concept. This is a much better book for a private detective looking to collect a debt from a spurned business partner.
The audio quality is inconsistent and the narrator has trouble pronouncing many of the place names. It is an amateurish recording and poor audio production. The noise levels are all over the place and it seems like a patchwork of many disjointed recording sessions.
