Notă biografică
LORD DUNSANY- Born July 24, 1878, Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett, 18th Baron of Dunsany, was a prolific Anglo-Irish author whose writings profoundly influenced the shape and structure of the modern fantasy genre. Best known his first book, The Gods of Pegāna, and later The King of Elfland's Daughter, Lord Dunsany proved talented not only as a novelist, but also as a poet, playwright, short story writer, and essayist, producing over ninety works prior to his death from appendicitis on October 25, 1957. Nevertheless, previously unknown works by Lord Dunsany have continued to surface as recently as 2017.A proud Irishman, Lord Dunsany was heavily involved in the Irish Literary Revival or "Celtic Twilight" movement that also included William Butler Yeats, Douglas Hyde, George Bernard Shaw and Lady Isabella Augusta Gregory. For his efforts to preserve and expand the heritage and stature of Irish literature, Trinity College in Dublin awarded Lord Dunsany, a graduate of the Royal Military College, with an honorary doctorate degree.Outside of writing, Lord Dunsany was a veteran of the Second Boer War and Second World War, consummate outdoorsman, animal rights advocate, champion pistol shooter, and chess enthusiast-even developing his own asymmetrical variant called Dunsany's Chess. He is buried at the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul in Shoreham, Kent.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'He contrasted the mortal world, in wonder, with the deep calm of his home, where the moment moved more slowly than the shadows of the houses here, and did not pass until all the content with which a moment is stored had been drawn from it by every creature in Elfland...'The poetic style and sweeping grandeur of The King of Elfland's Daughter has made it one of the most beloved fantasy novels of our time, a masterpiece that influenced some of the greatest contemporary fantasists. The heartbreaking story of a marriage between a mortal man and an elf princess is a masterful tapestry of the fairy tale following the "happily ever after".
