Sinopsis

PAN&rsquo,S GARDEN á Pan&rsquo,s Garden is a thematic collection of stories which, in the words of the author, &ldquo,illustrates that characteristic belief, present in all my work, that there exists a definite relationship between Human Beings and Nature.&rdquo, From the opening novella, &ldquo,The Man Whom the Trees Loved&rdquo,&mdash,in which Nature welcomes and absorbs the soul of a man&mdash,to the concluding &ldquo,The Temptations of the Clay&rdquo,&mdash,in which Nature rejects the spirit of the man who tries to profit from it&mdash,we are transported into a natural world where the elements hold sway. Mike Ashley, in his introduction, calls Pan&rsquo,s Garden &ldquo,the definitive volume of Blackwood&rsquo,s short stories. . . because it defines the true nature of Blackwood&rsquo,s writing.&rdquo, á INCREDIBLE ADVENTURES á Incredible Adventures represents what biographer Mike Ashley calls the last outburst of his golden period and is comprised of three novellas and two short stories.á Here, nature is a living force, truth is the only religion and the past holds sway over the present.á At times almost surreal in their intensity, these tales exert a strange power over the reader, opening our eyes to a larger world around us.á From the rugged mountains of Eastern Europe in The Regeneration of Lord Ernie to the vast deserts of Egypt in A Descent Into Egypt, Blackwood takes us to other places--and other worlds.
