Books with title The Uncrowned King

Excerpt from The Uncrowned KingBut the Pilgrim knew that the enchanting scenes that lured him by day were but pictures in the heated air. He knew that the fearful Shapes that haunted him by night were but creatures of his own overwrought fancy. And so he journeyed on and ever on, in the staggering heat, under the sky of brass, in the awful stillness of the night: on and ever on, through the wide and pathless waste, until he came at last to the outer-edge-of - Things - came to the place that is between the Desert of Facts and the Beautiful Sea, even as it is written in the Law of the Pilgrimage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

For many, many, weary months the Pilgrim journeyed in the wide and pathless Desert ofFacts. So many indeed were the months that the wayworn Pilgrim, himself, came at last toforget their number.And always, for the Pilgrim, the sky by day was a sky of brass, softened not by so much as awreath of cloud mist. Always, for him, the hot air was stirred not by so much as the lift of awild bird's wing. Never, for him, was the awful stillness of the night broken by voice of hiskind, by foot-fall of beast, or by rustle of creeping thing. For the toiling Pilgrim in the vastand pathless Desert of Facts there was no kindly face, no friendly fire. Only the stars weremany--many and very near.Day after day, as the Pilgrim labored onward, through the torturing heat, under the sky ofbrass, he saw on either hand lakes of living waters and groves of many palms. And thewaters called him to their healing coolness: the palms beckoned him to their restful shadeand shelter. Night after night, in the dreadful solitude, frightful Shapes came on silent feetout of the silent darkness to stare at him with doubtful, questioning, threatening eyes;drawing back at last, if he stood still, as silently as they had come, or, if he advanced,vanishing quickly, only to reappear as silently in another place.But the Pilgrim knew that the enchanting scenes that lured him by day were but pictures inthe heated air. He knew that the fearful Shapes that haunted him by night were butcreatures of his own overwrought fancy. And so he journeyed on and ever on, in thestaggering heat, under the sky of brass, in the awful stillness of the night: on and ever on,through the wide and pathless waste, until he came at last to the Outer-Edge-Of-Things--came to the place that is between the Desert of Facts and the Beautiful Sea, even as it iswritten in the Law of the Pilgrimage.

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
