“Well, you are a unicorn, Hazel. You are magical! You could do anything.” “I’d be rather magnanimous than magical, Leon.” One moonlit night in the pristine hamlet of Imenoi, a little lonely lad, Leon, is enthralled by the visitation of his favourite story character, the fabulous Hazel the Unicorn. She takes him for an adventurous ride to distant worlds, where they meet her interesting pals. Leon learns from them, helps them, is awestruck by them, and basks in their hospitality. And just when the journey seemed smooth and magical, they find themselves pitted against impending doom. Can Hazel’s magic solely save? Will Leon find his spark? Do dreams have their own reality? Do stories live their own life? The Lad and the Unicorn is a fable of magic and power, but it is all the more a tale of compassion and courage, the perfect blend one can strive for in the making of one’s destiny.

In a coachbuilder’s workshop in rural Ireland, a young man awakens from a trance. His uncle hopes he will finish the gilded coach he was building for the English authorities in Dublin Castle, but his visions lead him and the new followers he finds down a different path. Most of Yeats’ plays were written as collaborations with his friend and patron, Isabella Augusta. Just how many of the plays attributed to Yeats were actually written by Gregory is still debated. Yeats titled the collection in which The Unicorn from the Stars appears “Plays in Prose and Verse, written for an Irish theatre, and generally with the help of a friend.” In the preface, he credits Gregory’s help on nearly all his plays, and describes The Unicorn from the Stars as, “but for fable and chief character … wholly her work.” Still, though he admits only a few of his plays are “wholly mine,” only The Unicorn from the Stars, their last collaboration, was ever published with Gregory named as a co-author. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

"This is the first complete translation into a Western language of Sou-shen Chi, a fourth-century Chinese collection of 464 extraordinary, fantastic, or bizarre items. The subjects of these brief anecdotes and narratives include natural curiosities, gods, religious figures, omens, dreams, divinations, miracles, monsters, strange animals, demons, ghosts, and exorcists. The stories range from sober reports of drought and misfortune to accounts of a fox transformed into a turtle, persons whose heads could take independent flight at night, a tryst in a tomb, and the marriages of humans with spirits." "Sou-shen Chi is the oldest, richest, and most consulted example of the chi-kuai genre, an important division of classical Chinese literature demonstrating features of narrative technique and ethereal sensibility that point to chi-kuai as the earliest examples of Chinese fiction. Of the three surviving versions of Sou-shen Chi, the 20-chapter edition translated here is widely accepted as the best representation of the work of its compiler, Kan Pao, the official court historian for Emperor Yuan of the Chin dynasty. The style of the writing is terse, almost austere, and it has qualities of documentary prose, a reflection of its common ancestry with historical writing. An introduction deals with the text and its background, authorship, contents, versions, and transmission." "Sou-shen Chi served as a model for subsequent collections and provided many basic plots, characters, and situations for plays, novels, and even poetry. The stories were widely known and became part of the body of allusions that literate Chinese knew and used in their own writings. For example, in the twentieth century Lu Xun retold, in extended fashion, a tale of magic swords that comes from Sou-shen Chi."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
