Beyond Life, dizain des Démiurges
Author John Charteris stays up the whole night explaining to his guest that Man can bear very little truth about himself; that this drive to avoid the truth leads to both literature and progress by fits and starts as Man inadvertantly fulfills Sophocles’ dictum to imagine men “not as they are, but as they ought to be”; that even though—because—his taste is subjective and erratic, he is driven to make his dreams real; and that the proper name for this drive is Romance. This EPUB was validated as EPUB 3.3 by EPUBCheck v5.0.0. James Branch Cabell (1879–1958, rhymes with “rabble”) was born in Richmond, Virginia, the oldest of three boys. He enrolled at the College of William and Mary at the age of fifteen, teaching French and Greek there as an undergraduate. He wrote more than fifty books, and was a favorite author of science fiction grandmaster Robert A. Heinlein. Charteris’s fantastic library of dream editions was translated into “The Sandman” comic books by fellow admirer Neil Gaiman, for the edification of the Dream King.
