I am waxing pseudo-poetic to an absurd degree; since I re-read The Little White Bird recently, and I am full of magic again. Since we seem to agree on Russian literature, I wonder if you trusted me on maybe slightly lesser known of the British?
Such a lovely book, according to myself, one of the most important novels ever written. It is actually J.M. Barrie's piece for adults in which the character Peter Pan was first introduced, and later slightly adapted to become sort of a child-appropriate spin-off.
If you ever have the chance to pick up a copy, or are perhaps looking for a book with, on the one hand elevating philosophy as in Saint-Exupery's "The Little Prince", yet perfectly paired with darker fantasy themes somewhere between Pratchett & Tim Burton; or just the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. I know I'm horrible at making pitches such as those, but this is the kind of book which not only has been strangely forgotten (*cough* at least to be duely credited *cough*) by modern culture, but which I wouldn't call just "great" but rather "important".
Trivia: I often headcanoned Kelevra to use a quote by J.M. Barrie as his catchphrase:
"I am no longer young enough to know everything."
Thank you, Dieb, from description you've written, sounds like a book I would love to read.
And I like your pseudo-poetic style. It suits you. Similar to a rugged and nonchalant look, which, if used right, just accentuate the depth and caring.
Retour en haut
You wouldn't dare!
