Time and Gods

Edward John Morton Drax Planckett, 18th Baron Dunsany, publishing as Lord Dunsany, — a renowned author of numerous novels, plays, and literary tales, was at the origins of the fantasy genre. He arguably created the first whole «secondary world» in... European literature — with its own cosmology, mythology, history, and geography. His mythology influenced Lovecraft, Tolkien, and Borges, while his paradoxical humor and constant play with readers' expectations influenced Neil Gaiman and all modern ironic fantasy. In this book, we offer you the first three collections of the master — «The Gods of Pegāna», «Time and Gods», «The Sword of Welleran and Other Stories». Here, the god of joy and sweet-voiced musicians may encounter the god of dreams and fantasies, the girl Dawn finds and then loses her golden ball, and in the Beyond Silence dwells one who was neither a god nor a monster... Some stories are published in new translations, others — in a new edition.
