The Magus: A BBC Radio 4 full cast dramatisation Audiobook (Free)

Nicholas Urfe, a British graduate, works from his monotonous life to take up a teaching post on the tiny Greek island of Phraxos. There he fits the enigmatic figure of Maurice Conchis, and slowly gets drawn into a world full of strange encounters and mental techniques on Conchis’s estate at Bourani.

When Conchis introduces Nicholas to the charming and mysterious Lily Montgomery, reality and illusion start to intertwine. But what unusual game is Conchis playing with Nicholas? And, nowadays colored by artifice and deception, who is really telling him the truth?
