1927. Illustrated by Mahlon Blaine. Ewers varied and stormy literary career began in 1901 with the publication of a volume of rhymed satires entitled A Book of Fables, written in collaboration with Theodor Etzel. This led to an association with Ernst von Wolzogen and the formation of a literary vaudeville theater. The Sorcerer's Apprentice was his first novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Raising hell in the Italian Alps.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Textbook Binding)
Traveller extraordinaire Frank Braun decides to retire for a while in a little village in the Italian mountains to write a book. On his arrival, he notices a preacher, a local who recently came back from America. Stunned by his charisma, Frank Braun decides to start what could be the religious phenomenon of the 20th century. However, like the sorcerer's apprentice, he rapidly loses control of the forces he unleashed. "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is a story about the horrors started by the manipulation of innocent people. The horror has very little to do with surnatural. It is instead about the cruelty inbred in human nature and our need to believe in something. Ewers' descriptions are very detailed, and some of the scenes are almost unbearable.

4.0 out of 5 stars
good psychological thriller,
By jan erik storebø (norway) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Textbook Binding)
i consider this to be a psychological thriller. it has a good plot, though i am unsatisfied with the ending. the main person is seduced by his chances to manipulate people. but how well can he control what he started? i can't give away more. sorry. but it's interesting read. i love manipulation (in books, in life not unless i'm doing it)
