American writer Andre Norton, "the great lady of fiction" of the XX century, owns more than 130 books. Critics, alas, did not rush to support her, and she herself was too modest person to punch her way to the pedestal. Nevertheless, her talent shone so brightly that it did not go unnoticed. In our country, the name of the writer became known after the release of the novel "Sargassi in Space", brilliantly translated by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. And in 1963 in the U.S. published a book called "Witch World" - so was created one of the most famous fantasy worlds in the history of the genre. Norton's universe is amazing - magic here is omnipotent (and even recognized officially), and the laws are immutable, and violated them sooner or later catches up with just retribution. You can get to the Witch World through the magical Gate - and it gives anyone a wonderful chance to start a new life in a new land. This volume of the Witch World series includes two novels and short stories united by location; almost all of the works are in new translations. Young Ketan, the hero of "The Magic Belt", receives an unusual gift and with its help acquires supernatural abilities and true freedom. However, the dual nature is contradictory, and reincarnation can become irreversible ... The heroine of the novel "The Curse of Zarstor" seeks to uncover the secret of an ancient ancestral legend to defeat evil spells. But someone or something relentlessly follows her on the heels of ... The collection "Secrets of the Witch World" presents this magical universe in all its colorful variety. A blind weaver sees more than usual with the help of her "sighted fingers", and one day she gets in her hands a flap of silk, woven by a non-human... A butterfly child born in the marshes wanders in a dream through foreign worlds and calls out in song to her sister who emerges in a whirlwind of sand ... High in the mountains there is a Toad Circle, where wishes are granted, in the forest you can meet a hospitable werewolf, who is served by a cat ... So many stories, and in each one - a new mystery!
