More about the book
Set against the backdrop of an English pastoral landscape, this prose meditation journeys from rural Somerset to the Central Asian steppe and the 13th-century palaces of the Khan of north China. Through the voice of a garrulous, solipsistic persona reminiscent of Coleridge, the narrative explores themes of imagination and the interplay between history and fantasy. The work intricately weaves essays, journals, and musings that reflect a deep engagement with both the natural world and the power of creative thought.
