Omschrijving

Lord Dunsany's A Dreamer's Tales is one of the foundational collections of modern fantasy, filled with strange cities, distant kingdoms, haunted landscapes, dreamlike voyages, and mythic visions.

In these early twentieth-century stories, Dunsany moves through imagined worlds with a voice unlike anyone before him: ornate, ironic, melancholy, and luminous. His tales do not simply invent secondary realms; they make those realms feel ancient, half-remembered, and already passing into legend. The result is fantasy before fantasy had fully become a modern commercial genre-a body of work that helped make later imaginative fiction possible.

First published in 1910, A Dreamer's Tales contains some of Dunsany's most characteristic short fantasy fiction, including stories of enchanted places, doomed travellers, impossible quests, uncanny encounters, and the fragile border between waking life and dream. Its influence reaches forward into the work of H. P. Lovecraft, J. R. R. Tolkien, Ursula K. Le Guin, Jorge Luis Borges, and many other writers who drew from Dunsany's ability to give invented myth the weight of old civilisation.

This Positronic Books edition is suited to readers of classic fantasy, early twentieth-century fantasy fiction, mythic fantasy, literary fantasy, weird fiction, dream literature, and the precursor traditions that shaped modern speculative fiction.
