Sinossi

In "The Saint of the Dragon's Dale: A Fantastical Tale," William Stearns Davis crafts a rich tapestry of medieval fantasy, blending myth and adventure with themes of altruism and heroism. The narrative unfolds in a vividly imagined realm where dragons, saints, and the ever-present struggle between good and evil intertwine. Davis's lyrical prose captures the essence of chivalric literature while inviting contemporary readers to explore timeless ethical dilemmas. The novel reflects the influence of both Victorian adventure tales and the burgeoning genre of fantasy, situating itself amidst the literary advancements of the early 20th century. Davis, an educated man with a background in history and literature, draws upon his extensive knowledge of medieval lore and religious symbolism to imbue the story with depth and resonance. His dedication to education and posthumous efforts to preserve folklore illuminated his desire to merge historical context with imagination. "The Saint of the Dragon's Dale" stands as a testament to his belief in the power of narrative to inspire moral thought and contemplation. This enchanting tale is highly recommended for readers seeking an immersive escape into a world where honor prevails over treachery. Fans of fantasy literature and those intrigued by mythological themes will find themselves captivated by Davis's imaginative storytelling and the philosophical questions it raises.

    An inverse The Handmaid’s Tale that asks: What if women took over the world? 
      
    "Emotionally enthralling and intellectually stimulating."—Booklist 
      
    It is the New Time, a time not so different from our own except that the men are gone. All but eleven percent of them, that is, the minimum required to avoid inbreeding. But they are safely under lock and key in “spa” centers for women’s pleasure (trained by amazons to fulfill all desires) and procreation. A few women protest that the males should be treated better – more space, better food, but all agree that testosterone cannot be allowed to roam free. The old patriarchal cities are crumbling, becoming overgrown; people now live in “round communities.” But if you prefer the slum, that’s okay too. Religion has survived, sort of: women priestesses speak in tongues, inspired by snake venom, as apples are passed around to the congregation. But all social engineering has its costs... 
      
    Four different lives intersect: Medea, a tiny, long-haired witch and snake whisperer; Wicca, a young priestess who excelled at the “self-pleasuring” curriculum in school and has lost her pregnant lover; Eva, a doctor working in a spa center, and Silence, who lives in an almost abandoned convent. Each will discover the cracks in this women's paradise. 
      
    Provocative, irreverent, and completely riveting, Eleven Percent—a #1 bestseller in Denmark—is the first novel to appear in English by celebrated Danish author Maren Uthaug.
