Sono passati quasi tre anni dalla vicenda dell'Amuleto di Samarcanda, e Nathaniel si è confermato il mago più giovane e intraprendente di tutto il Ministero. Niente di strano, quindi, che venga convocato per risolvere un mistero inquietante: una specie mostro, enorme, invisibile, circondato di oscurità, getta Londra nel panico e fa strage di cose e persone. Il primo ministro è convinto che sia colpa della Resistenza, un gruppo di londinesi privi di poteri magici che si oppone alla classe dominante dei maghi; ma le indagini di Nathaniel si rivelano infruttuose, come i tentativi di infiltrarsi nel gruppo.

Tre anni dopo gli eventi narrati nell'Occhio del golem, il potere dei maghi di Londra vacilla: scoppiano disordini, i cittadini si ribellano, gli spiriti si danno battaglia nelle strade. John Mandrake, divenuto ministro dellInformazione, è al culmine della notorietà e del potere; ma non può più contare sull'aiuto di Bartimeus, il jinn che sin dall'inizio è stato al suo fianco, perché la lunga permanenza sulla Terra lo ha indebolito quasi mortalmente.

Il millenario Jinn Bartimeus, antichissimo, potente, pigro e beffardo, viene improvvisamente strappato dal confortevole mondo degli spiriti ed evocato a Londra, destinato a una missione oscura e incredibilmente rischiosa: rubare l’arcano amuleto di Samarcanda a Simon Lovelace, mago senza scrupoli e membro del Parlamento. Niente di strano: gli umani convocano continuamente gli spiriti per obbligarli a servirli. Ma stavolta il mago evocatore è un ragazzetto di dodici anni, che non sembra affatto in grado di governare il subdolo genio.

Heißersehnt, atemberaubend spannend, umwerfend komisch, unwiderstehlich... Im Prequel zur fantastischen Bartimäus-Trilogie darf Bartimäus, der Dschinn aller Dschinns, in seiner unnachahmlich bescheidenen Weise seine ruhmreiche Vergangenheit präsentieren – die sogar seine späteren Heldentaten mit Nathanael beinahe in den Schatten stellt. Schließlich hat Bartimäus seinerzeit nur den Besten der Besten und Hochwohlgeborenen gedient: Mächtige Magier und wunderschöne Königinnen waren seine Gebieter – und mit dem berühmten König Salomon stand er sogar auf Du und Du.

Bartimäus – das furiose Finale des brillanten Fantasy-Abenteuers! 2000 Jahre sind vergangen, seit Bartimäus auf der Höhe seiner Macht war. Heute, gefangen in der Welt der Magier, spürt er seine Kräfte schwinden. Doch noch will Nathanael ihn nicht aus seinen Diensten entlassen. Unterdessen eignet sich die Widerständlerin Kitty Jones geheimes Wissen über Magie und Dämonen an. Sie will erreichen, dass der ewige Kampf zwischen Dschinn und Menschen beendet wird. Doch dann wird London von einer bislang unbekannten Macht angegriffen und Nathanael, Kitty und Bartimäus müssen der größten Gefahr der Geschichte der Zauberei entgegentreten.

"Klar habe ich damit gerechnet, dass mich eines Tages wieder irgendein Schwachkopf mit spitzem Hut beschwört, aber doch nicht derselbe wie beim letzten Mal!" Der junge ehrgeizige Nathanael strebt eine Karriere im von Zauberern beherrschten britischen Weltreich an. Doch die immer dreistere Widerstandsbewegung der "Gewöhnlichen" macht der Regierung schwer zu schaffen. Und dann versetzt auch noch ein Golem London in Angst und Schrecken.
