Dreams, legends, and cruel little fables open the door to a strange inner country in these exquisite tales by a French Symbolist master.

Marcel Schwob's 1899 'The Door of Dreams' gathers his jewel-like, erudite tales of the fantastic and the macabre. Refined, strange, hauntingly beautiful. Read it for the concentrated magic of a great Symbolist stylist, whose brief tales open onto whole dreamworlds.
