Published at the beginning of his career, \u003ci\u003eTime and the Gods\u003c\/i\u003e, a sequel to \u003ci\u003eThe Gods of Pegāna\u003c\/i\u003e (1905), would influence such writers as J. R. R. Tolkein, Ursula K. Le Guin, and H. P. Lovecraft. Recognized as a pioneering author of fantasy and science fiction, Dunsany is a man whose work, in the words of Lovecraft, remains \"unexcelled in the sorcery of crystalline singing prose, and supreme in the creation of a gorgeous and languorous world of incandescently exotic vision.\" \"Once when the gods were young and only Their swarthy servant Time was without age, the gods lay sleeping by a broad river upon earth. There in a valley that from all the earth the gods had set apart for Their repose the gods dreamed marble dreams.\" \u003ci\u003eTime and the Gods\u003c\/i\u003e, Dunsany's second collection of stories, contains some of his finest tales of fantasy and adventure. From their \"marble dreams\" arose a city fit for the gods, a sweeping expanse of towers, terraces, lawns, and fountains known as Sardathrion. Protected by mountains and a vast desert, safe in the heart of a fertile valley, the city of the gods is a place to which few humans go, and from which none can return. Dunsany's tales of high fantasy continue to delight over a century after they first appeared in print. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Lord Dunsany's \u003ci\u003eTime and the Gods\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic of Irish fantasy fiction reimagined for modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 116\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.31 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42096998449287,"sku":"9781513136783","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/47bc06ba55861a4847ccd7b2ba0246a4.webp?v=1732347358","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/time-and-the-gods-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
