Fantasy -Essays and Ethics [単行本]

Fantasy -Essays and Ethics の 商品概要

• 内容紹介

  Nowadays fantasy has become such a popular genre of literature,
  especially among children and those with the hearts of children. In the present book I deal with the theory and practice of fantasy - not the theory first, as one might expect, and the practice second, but the practice first. And the practice is based not on my own invention but on what I have borrowed from others - in imitation of Shakespeare, who rarely invented the stories of his plays but was content to dress himself like the fabled crow "in borrowed feathers". And so I proceed from Alice and Peter Rabbit, making them my own, before going on to propose such practical points as "Be yourself!" and "Be everyone else!",
  "Be everything!" and "Be nothing!"
