The Gods of Pegana (1905) is a short story collection by Lord
Dunsany. Published at the beginning of his career, The Gods of
Pegana 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."
"Whether the season be winter or whether it be summer, whether it
be morning among the worlds or whether it be night, Skarl still
beateth his drum, for the purposes of the gods are not yet
fulfilled." The Gods of Pegana, Dunsany's debut collection of
stories, contains some of his finest tales of fantasy and
adventure. The Mana-Yood-Sushai created the gods of Pegana before
falling asleep in the middle of Time. The only thing keeping him
from creating new gods and worlds is the drummer Skarl, who can
never cease his playing. In their creator's absence, dozens of
small gods and a thousand local deities have free reign to create
the worlds and realities they want. As they compete to outdo one
another, the order and peace of Pegana hangs in the balance.
Humorous and inventive, 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 The Gods of Pegana is a classic of
Irish fantasy fiction reimagined for modern readers.
