Secure The Fantasy Worlds Of Peter Beagle Depicted By Peter S. Beagle Readable In Edition

want this book is great Kabalcı Yayınlarının baskısını okudum, Kitaphikaye içeriyor: Kurtkadın Lila, Son Tekboynuz, Buyrun Leydi Ölüm ve Hoş ve Özel Bir Yer, İlk üçünü bitirebildim, en sevdiğim de Buyrun Leydi Ölüm oldu, Hoş ve Özel Bir Yer maalesef akmadı, önemseyemedim, anlayamadım, kuruttu içimi, Lila'nın hikayesi hayatta biraz farklı olan kadınlar ve kabullenilememeleri hakkında, Beagle'ın en ünlü hikayesi Son Tekboynuz ise tamamen bir hayal kırıklığıydı,
Beagle'ın yazım dilini açıklıktan uzak ve gereksiz detaylarla dolu buldum, anlatmak istediği her şeyin bu gereksiz ve pek de zarif olmayan detayların arasında kaybolduğunu düşünüyorum.
Sevemedim. Of the four stories that make up this book, I was most surprised by how much I enjoyed 'A Fine and Private Place'.
I tracked down and purchased a used copy of this book because I found it on a friends bookshelf and became immediately intrigued by the idea of 'Lila the Werewolf' and 'Come, Lady Death' which I remember reading before and realized that I had not yet read 'The Last Unicorn' and decided that this was the the way to read all of them.

The entire book is a delight for readers of fantasy and I am so glad that I was able to find it.

Normally I view introductions as a waste of time both reading and writing them, but in the case of this collection: read the introduction, it's lovely.
What a delightful dude Peter Beagle seems to be, I'd read The Last Unicorn about ten years ago, but all of the other works in here were new to me.


The collection is a bit of a hodgepodge, and the title implies more of a strictly fantasy setting for the works than is really accurate, but I enjoyed it all the same.
Of the two short stories, "Come, Lady Death" was the better and well worth reading, "Lila and the Werewolf" reads a bit like the dude in your MFA wrote it,

The Last Unicorn, on the other hand, remains brilliant, and I get more out of it every time I read it.
Calling it fantasy is a little misleadingmore accurately, Beagle flays open our own insecurities in the gentlest, most magical way,

giving us insights into ourselves and seeing far too much for comfort's sake.
I fully intend to read it again in another decade,

A Fine and Private Place, if Beagle's introduction is to be believed, was written when the author was only.
If that's true, Beagle was a prodigy, because it just doesn't seem possible for ayearold to have lived enough to have written this novel.
While there are parts that do feel very naive and, most of it is so mature with Beagle's signature brutalyetmagical insight already in place at such a tender age that it's almost shocking when you do run across an amateurish phrase.
Reminds me of Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book but for grownups,

There's a positively ancient, spiderfine Chicago metro ticket tucked into my copy of this book, but sadly it has no year.
I'd love to know when it's from, So far I have only read "A Fine and Private Place", Six needed for this one, A masterful collection of perfect little gems, Lila the Werewolf, Lady Death, the last unicorn and her ragtag band of followersled by a magician named Schmendrick, I first read this decades ago and every tale became deeply imprinted on me, Just wonderful. Maybe more than six, Come Lady Death was a surprisingly delightful short story by Peter S, Beagle, the author of The Last Unicorn, which I loved as a kid, In this entertaining tale, Lady Neville is an ancient, very rich, and extremely bored aristocrat, She has been obeyed all her life and now she must search out, nay, DEMAND a new entertainment, Her miniscule spark of originality comes up with a ball, one to which she will invite Death, Of course there ensues the questions of how to locate Death, how to address the invitation, when to hold the ball, etc.
Imagine how Deaths acceptance letter is pawed over and discussed ad nauseum,

On the night of the ball, it looks like Death will not show all the guests are disappointed and Lady Neville is embarrassed.
Then Lady Death walks through the door, She is young and fair soon the ladies are jealous and all the men wish to dance with her, But throughout the night only Lady Neville and one man have the courage to dance and talk with her, I wont spoil the ending for you, which was an intriguing surprise for me, and there are many little tidbits Ive left out.
Enjoy. In any anthology of Beagle's work, there are bound to be repeats, All the stories collected in this books are large enough to be sold as seperate books on their ownand they areexcept for Come, Lady Death, so, really, that's what you've gotten allpages for.
And it's totally worth it: his best, most concise storytelling,., rounded up.

Lila the Werewolf strikes me as exactly the sort of thing a college undergraduate who's afraid of women and/or sexuality might write, and if I had to assign it its own rating, it would be two.


The Last Unicorn is one of those books that I had thought was so solidly part of fantasy canon that I didn't need to go back and read it.
Many of the Great Works books were trailblazers and informed a lot of other work but if you've already read a lot of the dulyinfluenced works that came after, you don't always benefit from going back and reading the Great Ones That Did This One Thing First.
Also, I had watched the movie as a kid and the plot didn't seem promising as an adult read, The Last Unicorn is not one of those books, It deserves every bit of the praise heaped on it, and if you've not read it, I envy you for still having your firstever reading of it in your future.
Six, seven blazing, if I could give them, It wrung my heart out terribly and then I looked up a related short story which also hurt in a beautiful way.


Come, Lady Death was a solid, nicelydone short storyfor this reader,

A Fine and Private Place, the second novel in the book and taking up nearly half of the whole book, is nuanced and terribly haunting ha! I didn't intend for that to be a regrettable pun on the actual plot, but it's out there now and I'm not taking it back and poignant, a quality wielded so artfully by Mr.
Beagle in his fiction that I can't help but suspect he paid some price for it at a crossroads at midnight,.stars.
