The Unknown Sea is a novel, but it is like no other novel. It is
the most exquisite allegory that has been written for a long time.
In the unhappy and ascetic passion of Christian the fisherman for
Diadyomene, the maiden of the sea, we may read obscurely the
secular struggle of spirit and flesh. But the allegory may be what
it will. The story is justified of itself, and has a certain palely
imaginative quality that is of a strange delicacy.

the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,

and went to the door. It was a dark night; the clouds were heavy
with snow, that had fallen fitfully when the wind lulled. Untrodden
snow lay up to the porch; there was no sight nor sound of an human
being. Sweyn strained his eyes far and near, only to see dark sky,
pure snow, and a line of black fir trees on a hill brow, bowing
down before the wind.
