Time and the Gods (1906) is a short story collection by Lord
Dunsany. Published at the beginning of his career, Time and the
Gods, a sequel to The Gods of Pegana (1905), 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." "Once when the gods were young and
only Their swarthy servant Time was without age, the gods lay
sleeping by a broad river upon earth. There in a valley that from
all the earth the gods had set apart for Their repose the gods
dreamed marble dreams." Time and the Gods, Dunsany's second
collection of stories, contains some of his finest tales of fantasy
and adventure. From their "marble dreams" arose a city fit for the
gods, a sweeping expanse of towers, terraces, lawns, and fountains
known as Sardathrion. Protected by mountains and a vast desert,
safe in the heart of a fertile valley, the city of the gods is a
place to which few humans go, and from which none can return.
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 Time and the Gods is a classic of Irish fantasy fiction
reimagined for modern readers.
