The Legend of the Sleepers
The Legend of the Sleepers | Danilo Kiš
2 posts | 1 reading | 2 to read
'For once there had been false idols and asses' heads drawn on the walls...' Sleepers awake in a remote cave and the ancient mystic Simon Magus attempts a miracle, in these two magical, otherworldly tales from one of the greatest voices of twentieth-century Europe. Penguin Modern: fifty new books celebrating the pioneering spirit of the iconic Penguin Modern Classics series, with each one offering a concentrated hit of its contemporary, international flavour. Here are authors ranging from Kathy Acker to James Baldwin, Truman Capote to Stanislaw Lem and George Orwell to Shirley Jackson; essays radical and inspiring; poems moving and disturbing; stories surreal and fabulous; taking us from the deep South to modern Japan, New York's underground scene to the farthest reaches of outer space.

This is this week‘s Penguin Modern, number 11 in the set. It does fit rather well with today‘s prompt #intothemystic, but goodness me, it‘s hard going! 😒

gradcat Your latest posts are conspiring to educate me, I must admit! 😂 6y
squirrelbrain @gradcat, educating you on which books *not* to read?! 🤣 6y
gradcat Not at all, @squirrelbrain For one, I was unaware of the story of Windrush until I read your post, and this post tells me of an author I‘ve never even heard of...so you are filling in my gaps (read: ignorance), so to speak, and I love it!! 🥰 6y
squirrelbrain @gradcat that‘s lovely of you to say so - I think we all learn from each other on a Litsy don‘t we?! 6y
gradcat Indeed. Hope you keep on educating me...it keeps me enthusiastic! 6y
