James Cabell was an early 20th century author of fantasy fiction. His works were considered escapist and fit well in the culture of the 1920s. Cabell's works can be ironic and satirical. The Line of Love is the 7th book in The Biography of Manuel series. This series of novels, essays and poetry traces the life, illusions and disillusions of Dom Manuel, Count of Poictesme (a fictional province of France). The series continues through Manuel's physical and spiritual descendants for numerous generations. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Another collection of little historical romance sketches from the worlds most cynical romantic or romantic cynic.
For Cabell enthusiasts perhaps a bit overly familiar in places but still pretty enjoyable. For non-Cabell converts you really need to be in the right frame of mind for these kinds of florid, whimsical, laconic pieces. But the cynical edge keeps them from being twee.
The first and last entries are about some of Cabells own creations but three of the other items might be of broader interest. One with an appearance by Philip Marlowe, another about shakespeares Falstaff and a third involving a Fool, a Witch and a Kingship (technically a Marquis-ship) which clearly had a influence on Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett.
Overall perfectly enjoyable but it doesn't have the pop of some of Cabells other books.. or i might just not have been in the right mood for it to really hit the spot. Cabells works always require a bit of a collaboration on the readers part. (
