Manfred Macmillan

The first of the three wizard novels (Romány tří mágů). A decadent dandy, the noble Manfred Macmillen, is haunted by visions that he is one of many reincarnations of the long-dead wizard, the demonic Count Cagliostro, a protégé of his grandfather. His journey in his footsteps takes him to Prague, where he is also haunted as a ghost by the mysterious stranger Walter More, who may also be an incarnation of the old wizard, or Manfred's shadowy alter ego, whose magical practices he eventually cannot resist.
