The Hill of Dreams

Meer over het boek

The narrative follows Lucian Taylor, a young man from rural Wales whose idyllic childhood is marked by mystical visions at an ancient Roman fort. As he transitions to life as a struggling author in London, the story delves into themes of art, history, and the supernatural. This semi-autobiographical work reflects Arthur Machen's own experiences and thoughts, offering a profound glimpse into his life as a prominent mystic and author of supernatural fiction. The book is reissued in a modern edition, accompanied by a new biography of Machen.
