Edward John Moreton Dunsany – författare

Lord Dunsany was one of Ireland''s finest writers. At the peak of his career he was a true literary celebrity, spending time with authors such as W. B. Yeats and Rudyard Kipling, and publishing over sixty books. Arthur C. Clarke called him "one of the greatest writers of [the 20th] century," and H. P. Lovecraft described him as being "unexcelled in the sorcery of crystalline singing prose, and supreme in the creation of a gorgeous and languorous world of incandescently exotic vision." Collected here are some of Dunsany''s greatest tales, including ''The Magician'', ''The Field Where the Satyrs Dance'' and more.

This vintage volume contains Lord Dunsany''s 1937 novel, "My Ireland". Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett (1878 - 1957) was an Irish writer and dramatist, most famous for the novels, mostly in the fantasy genre, that he published under the pen name ''Lord Dunsany''. A prolific writer, he published more than eighty books and many hundreds of short stories, as well as numerous plays, novels, and essays. The chapters of this book include: ''A. E., Tara'', ''St. Patrick'', ''Old Mickey'', ''Francis Ledwidge'', ''How the Students came to Trim'', ''A Lapse of Memory'', ''Jack-Snipe'', ''Woodcock'', ''Gray Lags'', ''Business'', ''John Watson'', ''The State of the Moon'', ''Swans'', etcetera. Many antiquarian books like this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
