Her name was Marjorie, and once upon a time, a thousand years ago, she had been engaged to me.

Magic - A Fantastic Comedy in a Prelude and Three Acts
This early work by G. K. Chesterton was originally published in 1913. Gilbert Keith Chesterton was born in London in 1874. He studied at the Slade School of Art, and upon graduating began to work as a freelance journalist. Over the course of his life, his literary output was incredibly diverse and highly prolific, ranging from philosophy and ontology to art criticism and detective fiction. However, he is probably best-remembered for his Christian apologetics, most notably in Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting Man (1925). We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Молодая женщина, Марина, библиотекарь, второй раз в браке, вроде бы и счастлива. Обычная семейная жизнь со своими проблемами, ссорами, бытом и детьми. Казалось бы, ничего нового и ничего необычного не светит – обычная семейная жизнь. День, похож на другой день, неделя идет за неделей. Куча обязанностей и дел – заняться работой, домом, детьми, кружки, школа, уроки. Готовка, стирка, глажка. Обычная семейная жизнь. Магазины, дом, школа, кружки – больше ничего нет, никаких других интересов. Квартира – обычная небольшая квартира. Слава Богу, есть такая – досталась в наследство от бабушки – хоть маленькая, но своя. Ютятся в двушке вчетвером, на кухне не развернуться, зато у детей своя комната. Времени на уборку уходит не много, но квартира такая старая, что кажется обветшалой и грязной. Дети – обычные московские дети. Однажды поздним вечером в этой обычной семье раздается телефонный звонок.
