Publisher Description
In 1886, a mysterious travelling circus becomes an international sensation. Open only at night, constructed entirely in black and white, Le Cirque des Rêves delights all who wander its circular paths and warm themselves at its bonfire.
Although there are acrobats, fortune-tellers and contortionists, the Circus of Dreams is no conventional spectacle. Some tents contain clouds, some ice. The circus seems almost to cast a spell over its aficionados, who call themselves the rêveurs - the dreamers. At the heart of the story is the tangled relationship between two young magicians, Celia, the enchanter's daughter, and Marco, the sorcerer's apprentice. At the behest of their shadowy masters, they find themselves locked in a deadly contest, forced to test the very limits of the imagination, and of their love...
A fabulous, fin-de-siècle feast for the senses and a life-affirming love story, The Night Circus is a captivating novel that will make the real world seem fantastical and a fantasy world real.
The Starless Sea, the magical second novel from the author of the The Night Circus, is available for pre-order now
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Erin Morgenstern’s lyrical tale of love and magic renewed our sense of wonder. At the dreamlike Le Cirque des Rêves, two young magicians, Celia and Marco, are trained to challenge one another in an ever-escalating game of enchanted supremacy. But when the illusionists fall in love, the competition takes a darker turn. Jim Dale does an exquisite job reading Morgenstern’s gorgeous language and bringing to life the book’s fascinating characters. By the end of this audiobook, we were ready to run off and join the circus.
