The Centaur

One of the three (along with Edgar Poe and Arthur Machen) favorite writers of the “hermit of Providence.” An ascetic who worshiped the primordial forces of Nature. The first author of “strange stories” who successfully performed on radio and television. The creator of amazing fairy tales and parables that breathed new life into British and American folklore… All of this is Algernon Blackwood, one of the loneliest and most famous literary figures of the Misty Albion.

The novel “The Centaur,” permeated by a passionate search for unity with the Primal Earth—quintessence of Blackwood’s philosophy, who believed that people are able to overcome the path through the Temple of the Past and discover the lost life-giving connections with the Universe.
