The Age of Magic

by Ben Okri

Description

A luminous, dreamlike journey unfolds as eight filmmakers set out in search of Arcadia—both a tangible place and an inner country of longing, renewal, and creative possibility. Rather than a conventional plot, the novel moves through shifting encounters and symbolic transformations, tracing how people at different stages of personal evolution confront desire, fear, and the urge to remake their lives. With Ben Okri’s signature archetypal “dream logic,” the story treats magic not as escape, but as a language for change—where imagination becomes a force that reshapes identity and meaning. At its heart, this is a meditation on transformation, the mysteries of artistic vision, and the fragile boundary between the real world and the worlds we carry within us.
