The Line Between

release date: Jan 01, 2006
The Line Between
The long-awaited sequel to the popular classic The Last Unicorn is the centerpiece of the powerful collection of new tales from a fantasy master. As longtime fans have come to expect, the stories are written with a grace and style similar to fantasy''s most original voices, such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Fritz Leiber, and Kurt Vonnegut. Traditional themes are typically infused with modern sensibilities--reincarnated lovers and waning kings run shoulders with heroic waifs; Schmendrick and Magician returns to adventure, as does the ghost of an off-Broadway actor and a dream-stealing shapeshifter; and Gordon, the delightfully charming "self-made cat," appears for the first time in print, taking his place alongside Stuart Little as a new favorite of the young at heart. This wide-ranging compilation contains sly humor and a resounding depth that will charm fans of literary fantasy.

Das letzte Einhorn
»Das letzte Einhorn ist das beste Buch, das ich je gelesen habe.« Patrick Rothfuss Längst gehört »Das letzte Einhorn« zum Kanon der Weltliteratur für Leserinnen und Leser jeder Altersklasse und es hat bis heute nichts von seiner Faszination verloren. Unzählige Fans hat dieses Buch an die Fantasy herangeführt. Eine einzigartige Geschichte über Freiheit und ihre Bedrohung, am Beispiel eines aussterbenden Fabelwesens. Das Einhorn lebte in einem fliederfarbenen Wald, und es lebte ganz allein. Eines Tages wagte es sich aus der Sicherheit des verwunschenen Waldes hinaus auf die Suche nach anderen seiner Art. Zusammen mit dem wenig talentierten Zauberer Schmendrick und der unbeugsamen Molly Grue, lernt das Einhorn die Freuden und Leiden des Lebens und der Liebe kennen, bevor es im Schloss eines verzagten Monarchen seinem Schicksal begegnet - und dem Wesen, das seine Art in den Untergang treiben will... In kaum einem anderen Buch drückt sich so sehr die Sehnsucht nach Freiheit und die Sehnsucht nach einer immerwährenden Natur und Schönheit aus wie in "Das letzte Einhorn". »Das helle Funkeln der Hörner. Wie regenbogenschimmernde Masten auf silbernen Schiffen kamen die Hörner aus dem Meer geritten. Jede Woge trug Hunderte heran, sie bäumten sich auf und stampften und bogen ihre langen wolkigen Hälse weit zurück.«

The Last Unicorn

The Last Unicorn
"Peter S. Beagle first imagined his beloved heroine when he was twenty-three, half a decade before she sprang into the world. Now the Last Unicorn''s fantastical origins are recaptured in this beautifully illustrated, commemorative hardcover edition, which includes Beagle''s revisited, wry musings upon his early writing career. In this appealingly familiar yet wonderfully strange adventure, a brave unicorn leaves her solitary life behind, determined to discover if she is the last of her kind. She is forewarned by a forlorn dragon and befuddled by a chatty butterfly; her traveling companion is an exiled demon with a split personality and a penchant for philosophy. Somewhere between mythology, modernity, and magic, the last unicorn is finding her world irrevocably transformed."--
