Centaur

One of the three (alongside Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Machen) favorite writers of the "hermit from Providence." An ascetic who worshiped the primordial elements of Nature. The first author of "strange stories" who successfully appeared on radio and television.... The creator of amazing fairy tales and parables that gave a new lease of life to British and American folklore... All of this is Algernon Blackwood, one of the most lonely and most famous literary figures of the Foggy Albion. The novel "Centaur," imbued with a passionate search for unity with the Primal Earth - the quintessence of Blackwood's philosophy, who believed that people could overcome the path through the Temple of the Past and rediscover the lost vital connections with the Universe.
