The King of Elfland's Daughter (Fantasy Novel)
This eBook edition has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. The lord of Erl is told by the parliament of his people that they want to be ruled by a magic lord. Obeying the immemorial custom, the lord sends his son Alveric to fetch the King of Elfland's daughter, Lirazel, to be his bride. He makes his way to Elfland, where time passes at a rate far slower than the real world, and wins her. They return to Erl and have a son, but in the manner of fairy brides of folklore, she fits uneasily with his people. She returns to the waiting arms of her father in Elfland, and her lovesick husband goes searching for her, abandoning the kingdom of Erl and wandering in a now-hopeless quest. However, Lirazel becomes lonesome for her mortal husband and son. Seeing that she is unhappy, the King of Elfland uses a powerful magic to engulf the land of Erl.

La hija del rey del País de los Elfos
El estilo poético y la grandeza de La hija del rey del País de los Elfos la ha convertido en una de las novelas fantásticas más entrañables de todos los tiempos. La desgarradora historia de la unión entre un mortal y una princesa élfica es un tapiz magistral que sentó las bases del cuento fantástico desde su primera aparición en 1924. «Ninguna descripción puede transmitir más que una ínfima parte del encanto de Lord Dunsany… es un talismán y una llave que abre a los verdaderamente imaginativos magníficas reservas de ensueños y recuerdos fragmentarios; hasta el punto de que podemos considerarlo no solamente un poeta, sino alguien que hace también un poeta de cada lector.» H.P. Lovecraft " La hija del rey del País de los Elfos está en la cima de los logros novelísticos de Dunsany; con su hermoso e incomparable estilo, potencia emotiva e interacción compleja entre la naturaleza, el arte y la religión, se posiciona como la legítima obra maestra de la literatura fantástica que es." S.T. Joshi «Lord Dunsany fue el hacedor de un arrebatado universo, de un reino personal que fue para él la sustancia íntima de su vida.» Jorge Luis Borges

The Book of Wonder and Time and the Gods
Famed Anglo-Irish author, Lord Dunsany (1878-1957), was a short story writer, playwright, poet, essayist and autobiographer whose works earned him notoriety as one of the most significant contributors to the modern fantasy genre. His short stories, especially, were widely popular with audiences who enjoyed his formulated mythologies, his examination of the nature of time and human existence, and his satiric, and often anti-industrial, views on the relationship of humanity to nature. This edition contains «The Book of Wonder,» Dunsany's seventh book and fifth original short story collection. In these fourteen highly original tales, Dunsany leads his readers into fabulous, mythical realms full of extraordinary creatures and seductive landscapes. Also included in this edition, «Time and the Gods» is a collection of stories written at the peak of Dunsany's talent. This invented mythology, almost biblical in style, will enchant readers with its intricate language and the fantastic images of people, places and things dreamed up by this pioneer of fantasy fiction.
