The Quest of Iranon
H.P. Lovecraft

"The Quest of Iranon" is a short story by H. P. Lovecraft. It was written on February 28, 1921, and was first published in the July/August 1935 issue of the magazine Galleon. The story is about a golden-haired youth who wanders into the city of Teloth, telling tales of the great city of Aira, where he was prince. While Iranon enjoys singing and telling his tales of wonder, few appreciate it. When a disenfranchised boy named Romnod suggests leaving Teloth to go to the famed city of Oonai (which he thinks may be Aira, now under a different name), Iranon takes him up on his offer.

Celephais
Celephais
H.P. Lovecraft
¥9.00
Celepha?s was created in a dream by Kuranes (which is his name in dreams—his real name is not given) as a child of the English landed gentry. As a man in his forties, alone and dispossessed in contemporary London, he dreams it again and then, seeking it, slowly slips away to the dream-world. Finally knights guide him through medieval England to his ancestral estate, where he spent his boyhood, and then to Celepha?s. He became the king and chief god of the city, though his body washes up by his ancestors' tower, now owned by a parvenu. In The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, Randolph Carter pays a visit to Kuranes, finding that the great dreamer has grown so homesick for his native Cornwall, he has dreamed parts of Celepha?s to resemble the land of his boyhood. Kuranes advises Carter, on a mission to find his own dream-city, to be careful what he wishes for—he might get it.

Marcel Proust
¥9.00
First published in 1919, Within a Budding Grove was awarded the Prix Goncourt, bringing the author immediate fame.

J. Enright has revised the late Terence Kilmartin’s acclaimed reworking of C. K. Scott Moncrieff’s translation to take into account the new definitive French editions of ? la recherché du temps perdu (the final volume of these new editions was published by the Bibliothèque de la Pléiade in 1989).

Karl May
¥9.00
Der Schriftsteller Karl May erh?lt in Radebeul Post aus Amerika und bricht daraufhin mit seiner Frau, dem Herzle, zu seiner letzten Reise dorthin auf. Seinem Blutsbruder Winnetou soll ein Denkmal gesetzt werden. Karl May / Old Shatterhand trifft alte Bekannte, deren Nachwuchs und zahlreiche symbolreiche Handlungstr?ger und kann den Bau des Monumentaldenkmals gerade noch abwenden. Der Band kommt in Gestalt der alten Reiseberichte daher, aber doch ist vieles anders geworden. Die Gewehre hat Old Shatterhand zwar immer noch (oder wieder) dabei, sie werden aber nicht mehr gebraucht und sind auch deshalb fast die ganze Zeit im Gep?ck. Nicht mehr mit der "Schmetterhand" werden die "Feinde" besiegt, sondern h?chstens noch durch List und die Gewalt des Wortes. Ganz im Friedensgedanken seiner Sp?twerke werden am Ende alle "Feindschaften" mit den alten Widersachern des Westens in Freundschaft aufgel?st. Sogar die zum Hauptschurken Santer stellvertretend mit dessen S?hnen.
