"New Stories of the Absent-Minded Magician" completes Vladimir Levshin's famous trilogy about the eccentric mathematician—the Absent-Minded Magician of Science. The book's plot resembles a thrilling action movie: a careless artist from the distant land of Terranigugu depicted another famous traveler, Marco Polo, on a stamp instead of Christopher Columbus. Because of this mistake, the entire already-printed edition of stamps was destroyed, except for two that were accidentally left behind. Over time, their value rose incredibly, and it was at that very moment that these stamps were stolen from a collector. So the Magician and his faithful companion Number One have no choice but to set out in search of them. This means that the Absent-Minded Magician's Club has yet to hold many more fascinating meetings dedicated to analyzing mathematical absurdities and finding the most accurate and reliable solutions.
For the first time in forty years, "New Stories of the Absent-Minded Magician" is being published again with wonderful illustrations by Vyacheslav Sergeev.
For middle school children.
