His son is dead, but his daughter, Valentine, remains.

 The Miller of Carnac

by Comte Duclaux de L'Estoille - adapted by Brian Stableford - read a chapter - cover by Michel Borderie - 390 p. - US$29.95.


This is the first of three volumes of translations of Antoine-Louis Duclaux, Comte de L’Estoille (1835-1894). This book collects his earlier works, including the Breton fantasy The Miller of Carnac (1866), as well as a suite of Arabian Tales (1865), the prose poems of Symphony (1867), the defiantly experimental Fusains (1868), and the epic drama Vercingerorix (1868). A few modern critics have allotted L’Estoille a significant role in the development of the prose poem, between Bertrand’s Gaspard de la Nuit and Baudelaire’s Spleen de Paris, but have often neglected his significant contribution to the development of French fantasy.

Trump Alert!

Our digital printer Lightning Source is barely recovering (haphazardly) from the disturbance in their operations created by the corona virus, which delays considerably their usual turnaround time to up to a month. But now, the Trump Administration's attack on the US Postal Service is having some effect, creating new delays in the delivery of books. (The same is true of orders made through amazon.) Needless to say, I have no control over this, and I am really sorry. If you do want me to have the book(s) shipped via UPS, I can do this, but it will cost an extra US$10. Then, email me after ordering and I'll send you a supplemental bill.
