"A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it."

'The unicorn lived in a lilac wood, and she lived all alone. She was very old, though she did not know it, and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam, but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night. . .'This is the story of the last unicorn on earth, a creature with the 'oldest, wildest grace that horses never had'. She had lived contentedly alone for hundreds of years, and would have continued to do so, believing that somewhere in the world there were others like her, had she not overheard a huntsman say that she was the last of her kind. Thereafter she could have no peace of mind until she had left the safety of her enchanted wood and gone to see for herself. And once exposed to the covetous eyes of men, there was peril for her at every turn. . . The Last Unicorn is gossamer-light and bitter sweet, an unforgettable novel that has been a hugely successful animated film and is likely, its author says, to haunt the rest of his career. It is one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written, by a writer who published his first book, A Fine and Private Place, when he was twenty, and who draws his inspiration from the animal world that has fascinated him since boyhood. 'Beagle is a true magician with words, a master of prose and a deft practitioner in verse. He has been compared with Lewis Carroll and J. R. R. Tolkien, but he stands squarely and triumphantly on his own feet. Granville Hicks, Saturday Review |

No, no, listen, don't listen to me, listen.Ring sostitutivo di questo bookring che, causa pessima rilegatura, è in condizioni pietose. ;-) Lista degli iscritti:
Suggerimenti: 1 - Per il libro va fatto solo il journal entry (meglio se uno in entrata e uno in uscita); si prega di non fare note release notes; 2 - Se possibile, aggiungete alla journal entry un’immagine, per esempio una foto della vostra città; 3 - Potete mettere nel libro (o nella busta di spedizione) dei segnalibri o delle cartoline; 4 - Nel libro c’è un piccolo "diario di bordo", siete pregati quindi di lasciare un segno del vostro passaggio (nickname, provincia, data); 5 - Ho allegato alcune pagine bianche, quindi se volete scriverci un commento, una dedica, un pensiero, fatelo pure! Aggiungete pagine bianche quando saranno finite… Al termine del ring, farò pervenire il tutto a ciascuno di voi; 6 - Mi rimetto alla vostra fantasia e al vostro buon cuore di bookcrosser ed amanti dei libri, certa che il mio volumetto tornerà integro, sano e salvo nelle mie mani. Per qualsiasi problema, informazione, eventualità, scrivetemi senza scrupoli! |
