Edward Venn-Thomas lives in the twentieth century but has been
mysteriously transported to the future, and the apparently idyllic
society of New Create, where there is no hunger, no war and no
dissatisfaction. However Venn-Thomas is starting to find life among
the New Cretans rather dull. He comes to realize that their perfect
existence, inspired by the poets and magicians of their strange
occultic religion, lacks one fundamental thing - evil. So
Venn-Thomas sees it as nothing less than his duty to introduce them
to the darker side of life. First published in 1949 and also known
as Watch the North Wind Rise, Graves's novel is a thrilling blend
of utopian fantasy, science fiction and mythology.
